Fitzroy, Collingwood & Abbotsford
This cafe is an oasis from which you can watch children pull faces at goats at the adjacent Collingwood Children's Farm, and pet cute passing dogs while enjoying brunch en plein air. Farm produce is used in the dishes, from breakfast dhal and filling seasonal salads to the kitchen's unbeatable sausage roll.
The cafe proudly supports 'Playing Our Part', an organisation that helps alleviate homelessness in Melbourne, by donating all proceeds from the 'Pot to Plate' special.
