Brother Baba Budan

Melbourne


This small cafe has just a few seats (more are hanging from the ceiling), but it does a roaring takeaway-coffee trade for inner-city workers and is a great spot to acquire a mid-shopping caffeine buzz. Service is fast and friendly. Food is limited to croissants, muffins, scones and cookies.
