Some cafes beyond Brunswick

Vincent Ramos: Try the Shady Deal on the breakfast menu - and ask for strong coffee. Also - wash your hands, they use Aesop in the bathrooms.

Vincent Ramos: Great coffee (best in the area, and up there for Melbourne more generally) and friendly service. Try the baked eggs with potatoes and chorizo.

Vincent Ramos: Friendly staff, excellent coffee. The food's great, too - the specials menu usually has something good to offer.

Ross Hill: Sshhhh, this place is awesome - keep it secret!

Michael Lauterstein: The new 'go-to' hipster coffee joint on the block. Well worth it and all that jazz. Kudos.

Darryl Tirtha: Jesus Christ, you haven't had coffee till you had a baba.

Vincent Ramos: The pulled pork is the must-have dish.

John Apart: Generally any special here is amazing. As is the rest of their menu

Vincent Ramos: The coffee here is very good - but not quite as good as the hype will tell you. And the service is becoming a bit offhand.

Next_Studio: The best coffee in Melbourne? It should be! Check out the ridiculously expensive and delightfully over-engineered "Slayer" espresso machine they brew it in.

Alister Robbie: Fantastic coffee's here. Tone's creamy eggs are to die for, and the toasties are always good when you are in a rush.

Jonathan Woods: Excellent kid friendly spot.

Vincent Ramos: Eggs with dukkah and spinach.

Books for Cooks: Great all day cafe - the baked eggs and the kransky are permanents on the menu - go early - it gets busy
