Tucked away in the heart of North Melbourne, this cafe offers a calm, cozy spot where locals come to enjoy thoughtful coffee blends alongside a selection of simple but satisfying meals. The drinks menu draws on Vietnamese coffee traditions with a twist—expect drinks like cold brews paired with lightly sweetened cream or unique flavors such as pandan matcha, which offer a refreshing change from the usual. If you’re after something savory, their hand-wrapped sandwiches, including truffle-spiced mushroom melts and focaccias with pulled brisket or mortadella, provide a delicious, hearty option without fuss.
The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with friendly staff who create a relaxed vibe whether you’re dropping in for a quick bite or settling in for brunch. Seating is comfortable and laid-back, making it a good choice for solo diners or small groups looking for a quiet spot off the beaten path. It also caters well to families and those coming with their dogs (outdoors), adding to the neighborhood feel.
Situated in a bustling area with convenient, if limited, paid parking options nearby, the cafe is practical for locals on the go, offering curbside pickup and takeout alongside dine-in service. The combination of well-prepared food, intriguing coffee options, and a genuine neighborhood atmosphere makes it a spot where you might find yourself returning — especially if you appreciate places that mix familiar Aussie fare with distinctive local flavors.

) "Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and great food and drinks"
"We ordered tiramisu cold brew for takeaway, highly recommend it!!"
"Super friendly service and warm and welcoming space!"
5 Ordered the O.G Vietnamese coffee (cafe sua da) with salted cream and it was very tasty with a nice strong coffee flavour and was not too sweet; the salted cream was mildly sweet with a hint of saltiness which blended well with the coffee. Only downside was there was a lot of ice so should have ordered a large size for an extra dollar. Staffs were friendly.
5 Saw on Tiktok they had a Pandan Matcha so that’s what we came here for, but was pleasantly surprised by the other Fansipan coffee my friend ordered and the Foccacias :’) Pandan Matcha was way above my expectations and almost tasted like a Kueh but in liquid form! Focaccias were a really good deal and we left extremely full. All in all a really warm and welcoming place with super nice staff and decent prices for amazing food and drinks. would be back for sure!
5 Such a great new café! They mix Aussie favourites with amazing Vietnamese coffee. The drinks are full of flavour, the food is tasty, and the staff are really friendly. A cosy spot that feels welcoming — I’ll definitely come back!
5 Here’s the updated version with that added: Absolutely loved the food and drinks here! We ordered hojicha coconut and the iced chocolate. They were so good!! For food, we had mushroom melts and pulled brisket focaccia. The truffle flavour in the mushroom melts was amazing and brisket was seasoned perfectly (they used green apple for garnish which is a highlight too). On top of that, the customer service was absolutely top-notch. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be coming back!
5 Everything is awesome!!! Love the fansipan cold brew coffee with vanilla oat cream and orange zest. Bacon and egg toastie is better than I expected, especially the melting poached egg and crunchy tastes. The staff are lovely too. Can’t wait to give it another try! We ordered tiramisu cold brew for takeaway, highly recommend it!! It’s not too creamy but refreshing. It has toilet inside, and plenty of paid street parking.????
5 Beautiful relaxed cafe. Excellent coffee (we had a latte and a Vietnamese coffee). Specialising in sandwiches, we we loved the bacon and egg brioche one. Friendly prompt service. Well done
5 Our go-to place for great coffee with super friendly staff. On our recent visit, we ordered the Pulled Brisket Focaccia ($17) and the Chili Tuna Melt ($15). Both were crispy, made with fresh ingredients, and super tasty.
5 Absolutely lovely café. It’s so nice to finally have a genuinely good coffee locally. The vibes are cozy and welcoming from the moment you walk in, and everything feels authentic — no fuss, just done right. A true, honest café through and through. You can really feel the care that’s been put into the space and the coffee. Will definitely be coming back.
