Correction (10 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 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Short answer: six cafes and all-day eateries, three in Southbank and three in South Melbourne. Five carry a breakfast tag from a directory listing; Trend Cafe and Restaurant is here on the all-day hours its own site lists.
The Australian Good Food Guide ticks those tags, so treat them as listing features rather than a verdict. We checked each place against a second source, such as OpenStreetMap or its own site.
We found no roasters named in the pages we read, so this page does not name any. Where a cafe printed its hours, we say whose listing it is. The one menu with readable prices is Saporito’s, and those prices are copied from its menu.
