Some say Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so let’s list out some of the best cafes to visit on Lygon Street, which happens to be just a stone’s throw away from our village.

When determining the best breakfast spots we’ve looked at what the menu has to offer and then, arguably most importantly, the quality of the coffee. The cafes below not only serve cracking breakfast dishes but have some of the best coffee that Lygon Street has to offer.

Please note that these are in no particular order, but we do suggest you try them all and let us know which cafe made your number one!

East Elevation

Those big, mysterious red doors. You may have wondered what is behind them! Well for those wondering, it’s an impressive café serving up all your favourites and more. The staff are all you would expect in Brunswick East – super nice, creative and considerate. The food is what you expect at most cafes, the best bit being that most of the food is locally sourced from their own veggie garden, so you know that the flavour is going to hit you hard in all the right places. Cafe and artisan chocolate factory by day, events space by night. This space is exceptional and has a lot to offer.
