Lavender Cafe & Bakery

One of my favourite cafes in the area, wonderful pastries with a homemade and authentic taste. The cafe itself has such a lovely and cosy feel to it also, unlike many others. Highly recommend to anyone local or stopping by in the neighbourhood.

Most delicious long black I've had in a long time! I don't stop to raise an eyebrow at how delicious a coffee is very often (as we're spoiled for choice in Melbourne), but this one just tasted amazing until the very last drop. Hell yes, I'll be coming back.

Delicious coffee and has the most beautiful pastries all baked in-house by the lovely couple who own it. Can't recommend enough

This cafe is new so possibly some teething issues, but I went here for coffee and breakfast with my mum and we were both left disappointed. The service was slow and the wait staff seemed a bit confused about what food/drinks were to go to which table. Additionally, they took a long time to clear the table from the previous diners. The menu itself was ok - great for a traditional “big breakfast” style meals that are toast-and-egg-centric but seriously lacking for people who don’t eat egg. The food itself was ok but nothing special, while the coffee was quite disappointing. If you want egg and bacon, look no further. If you want literally anything else, go elsewhere.

Good home style cooking

Very friendly staff and great food!

This place is fantastic! Yes, the coffee is great. BUT the pastries are phenomenal and what keeps me going back each time. My favourites so far are the small custard tarts and also the muffins.

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast of home made beans (sweet and savoury) with a poached eggs cooked perfectly. The lavender chai latte was also authentic. The venue has great outdoor seating, inside seating by the windows and even more seating by a fireplace and the courtyard. Can’t wait to enjoy more excellent home made pastries, dishes and beverages from Lavender cafe

This is my favourite cafe in Melbourne. I knew the owners, Holger and Shirley, when they had their cafe Loco in Middle Park, and I followed them when they moved to Albert Park. Holgar’s pastries are to die for, and Shirley’s Malaysian food is scrumptious. The quality and variety of food on the menu is fabulous, and Christmas is my favourite time of the year, when Holgar makes his ‘melt in your mouth’ mince tarts. I also have to make a special mention of Mark, their amazing barista, and Naomi, their gorgeous waitress, who are always so welcoming.

Lavender café is a beautiful neighbourhood spot that always offers friendly, attentive service and a spot-on coffee, every time. A wide range of menu options, their toasted sandwiches are the best comfort food!
