the food | ★ 4.7/5 (863 reviews)

#12 Kraft Cafe — 7A Kraft Ct, Broadmeadows VIC 3047, Australia
the food | ★ 4.9/5 (65 reviews)
What makes it great: Nobody goes to Kraft Cafe for the decor. They go for the food, obviously. The menu reads simply. The food arrives with more thought than the menu suggests. That gap is the mark of a kitchen that cares more about the plate than the description. If this place were in Fitzroy, there would be a queue. In Broadmeadows, you can still walk in.
Rated 4.9 by 65 locals on Google — and the ones who come back do not bother leaving reviews.

Melbourne Coffee Culture — A Quick Guide
If you have just moved to Melbourne or Broadmeadows, here is what you need to know:
- Flat white is the default — this is a Melbourne invention. Order it with confidence
- No drip coffee — if you want filter, ask for batch brew or pour-over
- Milk alternatives — oat milk is the standard non-dairy option. Most places charge $0.50–$1.00 extra
- Takeaway cup debate — bring a KeepCup. Seriously. Melbourne judges disposable cups
- Tip the barista — not mandatory in Australia, but a buck in the jar gets you remembered
- The 3pm coffee — Melburnians do not stop at one morning coffee. The afternoon pick-me-up is cultural
How to Find Your Regular
Every Broadmeadows resident needs a regular cafe — the place where the barista starts making your order when they see you walk in. Here is how to find yours:
- Week 1: Try three different cafes near your home or office
- Week 2: Return to the one that got the milk temperature right
- Week 3: Start ordering “the usual”
- Week 4: You now have a regular
