Zen Arcade

Zen Arcade is a gem of a cafe. Their vegetarian and vegan options are not only delicious but truly amazing. The coffee is consistently good, and the service is top-notch, with welcoming, friendly, and warm staff. I never hesitate to recommend it to friends and family seeking a tasty and wholesome bite.

What on earth is this place? It’s got the coolest people working there, the greatest ambiance, and The World’s Best Bagels. My guy who made my latte was also just a fantastic human with excellent latte-making skills.
But those BAGELS. Hear me out, I forgot to take a picture because it was just So Good. Like, I understand some people might think it’s a bit spenny for a bagel but it’s not just your ordinary run-of-the-mill bagel. This is elite. Incomparable. The diamond of the season kind of bagel.
I’ve said bagel enough.

One of our favourite cafes in Melbourne - absolutely delicious food, great coffee and friendly staff! Originally came for the Husker Du reference and it quickly became our brunch place of choice. Even got bagels and coffee on the day we moved out of Melbourne! Can’t wait to come back again.

Best bagels I’ve ever had. Great vegan options

Easily the best bagel in Melbourne. Oh my gosh… I had the cauliflower one, vegan. I ate it about two weeks ago and have been thinking about it ever since.

We came back multiple times after my first vist 3 months ago. We tried most bagel options but we always come back for quarter moon and Valoumi.

P.S. Did you change the ingredients/sauce for quarter moon? Can we have the original one back? 🥲🥲🥲

Best bagels northside. Beautiful coffee too. Try their ice coffee

This place is next level! Best bagels in Melbourne, super cute Japanese hole-in-the-wall cafe vibes and really nice staff

Great bagels - the haloumi one is such a treat! They also have coffee beans available for purchase which is so helpful, especially during lockdown.

Delicious bagels and great coffee and iced coffees. Staff are really friendly.

New cafe on the block, good location, not the biggest place. But great coffee, staff friendly and bagels are a winner. Great to have this place in Preston
Well worth a visit and recommend.

Great coffee and super creative, tasty bagels.
Forget your stock standard bagel fillings and get ready for some roasted cauliflower and coconut "bacon".

Delicious and affordable bagels, lovely staff, and great coffee. Get a valoumi and an iced coffee, one of the best breakfasts in Melbourne!!

Such a good little spot, we went there for a coffee and bagel for a work meeting. The valumi is so good! Will be back

I LOVE the bagels here. Great coffee too. Highly recommend a visit for a light lunch.

The coffee here is elite. We stumbled in feeling a little worse for wear on a Sunday morning and were so pleasantly surprised. Will now be my one and only coffee spot

Can't recommend this place (or it's big sister New Day Rising) enough. Some of the best bagels I've had in ages.

Awesome little place for delicious bagels and coffee! No fuss, friendly staff and reeeaally yummy! Vegetarian & Vegan only.

Quite easily the most delicious place on earth. Best bagels in Australia and coffee is perfect.

Amazing and creative bagel options. Very delicious. And great chai blend! Nice bubbly staff. New fav local cafe
