Brown Bear Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

This is my go to place. I've been coming here for years. Usually 3-4 times a week. Coffee is outstanding. Never had a bad coffee. Always on point. They are very meticulous about their coffee and pride themselves on making high quality coffee. And they deliver the goods. That's why it can get quite busy at times but it's worth the wait. They are efficient at pumping out the coffee in a timely manner without ever compromising on quality.

Apart from that I always get the smashed avo with eggs. Always good and keeps me full for most the day. Very good value for money aswell when you compare to nearby cafes for the same order. Always delicious and hits the spot.

Staff is always nice and friendly. I can't thing of a negative thing to say. Which is why ill keep coming back.

The coffee is fantastic and very reasonably-priced, the two food items I've tried (their $8 burger and their chicken-avocado sandwich) were both delicious, generously-portioned and fresh-tasting and the owners are super-friendly and attentive. Plus, any tips they receive are donated to a charity that works to end the cruelty of bear-bile farming (hence the name of the cafe).

A genuinely well-earned five stars for this place. If you're in the area and looking for great coffee and food, you really...
