My favourite local spots to experience that famous Melbourne cafe culture.
Particle Cafe
47 Military RdAmazing vegan cafe, with beautiful food and great coffee (no dairy milk).
Our favourite cafe in Footscray. Light-filled, calm and surrounded by veggie patches - the staff are lovely and the coffee is always on point.

Originally opened as "Olympic Donuts" during the Melbourne Olympics in 1956, the hot jam donuts are a staple of Footscray culinary culture. The coffee is okay, I often grab a takeaway from Rudimentary and 2 donuts.
