Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.

Which Brunswick cafes run a late-morning menu worth sitting down for? This page covers seven places, six in Brunswick and one in Brunswick East, picked for brunch-friendly menus and listed weekend hours.

Each entry is built from menus, listed hours and the extras AGFG tags. Hours are credited to whoever lists them, and two places’ hours rely on AGFG alone, so they may be out of date.

Acustico — 32 Union Street, Brunswick VIC 3056

Acustico’s own site lists weekday hours of 7:00 am to 3:00 pm, and 8:00 am to 3:00 pm on weekends. Its breakfast menu card prints a Bircher Bowl (V/VGO) at $18, and the V and VGO marks are the menu’s own. Bircher is soaked oats, usually served cold. AGFG tags breakfast, alfresco dining and vegan options.

On the menu (copied from acustico.com.au and acustico.com.au/Lunch-Menu-Card.pdf on 4 October 2026):

  • Bircher Bowl (V/VGO): $18
  • Breakfast Burrito Wrap (V): $18
  • Cuban Sandwich (GFO): $20
  • Reuben Sandwich (GFO): $20

The order: for a savoury pick, the lunch card at Acustico prints a Cuban Sandwich (GFO) at $20.

Sweet Evelyn — 128 Union Street, Brunswick VIC 3056

Sweet Evelyn’s own site lists 6:30 am to 3:00 pm on weekdays and 7:00 am to 3:00 pm on weekends. Its menu prints a Breakfast Smoothie at $10 and an Iced Matcha at $6. AGFG tags breakfast, alfresco dining and vegan options, and the site also points to live music and community events.

On the menu (copied from sweetevelyn.au on 4 October 2026):

  • Breakfast Smoothie: $10
  • Iced Matcha: $6
  • Japanese Matcha Latte: $6.70
  • Green Machine: $10

Go for: the drinks list, where the Sweet Evelyn menu prints a Japanese Matcha Latte at $6.70.

Green Refectory — 115 Sydney Road, Brunswick VIC 3056

Green Refectory’s own site lists Monday to Friday from 7am to 8pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 7am to 7pm. The site shows an all day breakfast section with a Breakfast Stack, plus a raspberry dust cake described as a vegan cheesecake. AGFG tags breakfast, alfresco dining and gluten free options. We have not copied its prices here.

Go for: the all day breakfast section on Green Refectory’s site, where a Breakfast Stack is listed.

Brunswick Foodstore — 29 Weston St, Brunswick VIC 3056

We found no hours on Brunswick Foodstore’s own site, so the hours here are AGFG’s listing only and may be out of date. AGFG lists 7:30 am to 3:00 pm on weekdays and 8:00 am to 3:00 pm on weekends. It tags breakfast, alfresco dining, takeaway and delivery, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. We could not find a menu with prices.

Roaster: not named in the sources we checked for Brunswick Foodstore, so we do not name one.

Juanita Peaches — 12 Edward Street, Brunswick VIC 3056

Juanita Peaches is on Edward Street, and AGFG tags it for breakfast, alfresco dining, a bar, halal and vegetarian options. AGFG’s listing shows two sets of hours: 10:30 am to 9:00 pm on most days, until 10:00 pm on Friday and Saturday, plus a note reading open 7 days with an earlier start. Because those do not match, confirm before you go. We could not find a menu with prices.

Go for: an hours check first, since the AGFG listing for Juanita Peaches carries two versions.

Lux Foundry Cafe — 21 Hope Street, Brunswick VIC 3056

Lux Foundry Cafe’s own site says its menu features all-day breakfast, brunch and lunch options. The site lists Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm with the kitchen closing at 3:00 pm, Saturday 7:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Sunday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. AGFG tags breakfast, alfresco dining and vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. We have not copied its prices here.

The order: from the all-day menu, and on weekdays before the kitchen closes at three, as Lux Foundry Cafe’s site states.

Mr Wilkinsons — 295 Lygon Street, Brunswick East VIC 3057

Mr Wilkinsons is a bar on Lygon Street in Brunswick East, and its site shows both a Brunch Menu and a Dinner Menu link. The site lists Tuesday and Wednesday from 7am to 3pm, Thursday and Friday from 7am to 1am, and Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 1am. Monday is not on the listed hours, so do not assume it opens. AGFG tags breakfast, alfresco dining and vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options.

On the menu (copied from mrwilkinsonbar.com.au on 4 October 2026):

  • Asahi: $9
  • Carlton Draught: $8
  • Goodland Pale Ale: $9.5
  • CBCo Porter: $10

The order: the drinks PDF at Mr Wilkinsons prints Asahi at $9 and Carlton Draught at $8; it is a drinks list, not the brunch menu.

Quick answers

Which Brunswick cafes serve all-day breakfast?

Green Refectory’s site shows an all day breakfast section, and Lux Foundry Cafe’s site says its menu features all-day breakfast, brunch and lunch options. AGFG also tags breakfast at Acustico, Sweet Evelyn, Brunswick Foodstore, Juanita Peaches and Mr Wilkinsons, but that tag does not say when breakfast stops.

Where can I get brunch in Brunswick on a Sunday?

Acustico lists Sunday from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm on its site, Sweet Evelyn from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm, Green Refectory from 7am to 7pm, Lux Foundry Cafe from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Mr Wilkinsons from 8am to 1am. Brunswick Foodstore and Juanita Peaches are AGFG listings only, so confirm those.

Which brunch spots have vegan options?

AGFG tags Vegan Options for Acustico, Sweet Evelyn, Green Refectory, Brunswick Foodstore, Lux Foundry Cafe and Mr Wilkinsons. Juanita Peaches is tagged for vegetarian options. Green Refectory’s own site also names a vegan cheesecake.

Which Brunswick brunch places print their menu prices?

Acustico’s menu cards print a Bircher Bowl (V/VGO) at $18. Sweet Evelyn’s menu prints a Breakfast Smoothie at $10. At Mr Wilkinsons the drinks PDF prints Asahi at $9, which is a drinks list rather than food. We have not copied prices for Green Refectory, Brunswick Foodstore, Juanita Peaches or Lux Foundry Cafe.

How we checked

We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 4 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, the places’ own websites and the Australian Good Food Guide. Every price is copied exactly as printed on the page linked under Sources, on 4 October 2026. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: they show the kind of food or place, not the places on this page.
