Brown Sugar

Definitely one of my fave cafes in the city! Best coffee and the foooooooddddd!!! Omg!!! Fresh ingredients, both breakfast and lunch always satisfy the most difficult taste buds (like mine 😆) Amazing customer service, great prices and the owners, Robbie and Ivan, treat you like a family! 🙌🏼👏🏼 well done guys!!!

Always passed-by the restaurant which looked really nice, so went in with high expectations. Ordered coffee and steak sandwich which came with chips. Coffee is average Melbourne level (note that baseline Melbourne coffee is of good quality). The steak was a bit over charred on the outside so tastes bit bitter. The tenderness was alright. I got seated at the corner near a door and the counter. I was suggested it was kitchen behind me. According to the smell and the observation that customers go in and come out the door, I don’t think it’s the kitchen behind me. The service was good and service speed was fast. Chips were nicely fried and crispy. Overall it’s a bit letdown experience. It’s understandable that on a busy day someone got to be seated near “some areas”, but its reasonable to make sure the air smells fresh for a not-so-cheap restaurant.

I had brunch today here with my girlfriend, nice and cosy cafe in this beautiful lane, good heating for winter, outstanding customer service and the food was out of this world, the minestrone soup was the best I’ve had in a long time, salmon omelet was nice and tasty and the French toast was delish! Lovely to have this experience specially when you work in hospo and know how hard it is at the moment! Thank you guys.

Our first time visiting this restau after being recommended by a close friend of mine. I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We ordered Big Breakfast, Egg Florentine and Brown Sugar Deluxe Beef Burger. The quality and flavours of food have a remarkable depth. In addition, the staffs are very friendly and approachable. Will definitely come back and bring more friends over.

This is my regular Cafe when I visit Melbourne. I love the food and coffee. I’ve experienced excellent service on every visit. This is a small Cafe suitable for my family. Toilet is available and always been clean. I’ve posted a photo of my vegetarian breakfast and the menu from my recent visit. I’ll definitely return.
