Gathered Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

Ig @ mattnotgloss

Without doubt, this is a place where I would not hesitate to visit again and again. An apt word to describe the experience would be “wholesome”.

The food items were delicious! From the breakfast platter to the chilli scrambled egg, everything was tasty and enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed the big gathering comprising all the goodness in one plate. The hashbrown was beautifully prepared, with the tender potato wrapped in a layer of extremely crunchy exterior. The baked beans were tangy and appetising, while the spinach and mushroom were surprisingly flavourful!

The coffee was good, balanced, muted acidity, smooth and made better with the beautiful latte art by the talented barista! I finally got to enjoy a cup with cuppa with the milk frothed to the perfect temperature to be able to enjoy the sweetness of the milk that brings out the aroma of the espresso.

Staff running the place made the experience truly enjoyable with their great hospitality, and it was hard not to leave the place feeling good! I would totally...

Gathered Cafe does exactly what it says it does, providing a lovely space for people to gather, share stories over coffee and eat good food.

The staff are kind, courteous and look after your every need.

(Gathered Cafe now has second Cafe in Hall St Moonee Ponds.)

The owners are good people, with good hearts, who are genuine and proud of who they are and what they are creating.

The coffee is awesome, and my favourite things to order are the ham, cheese & tomato toastie or the Smashed Avocado (see attached pics taken 17th March 2025.)

The toastie has the best melted cheese and fresh tomato and ham and eating it is one of life's simple pleasures. The smashed avocado is equally delicious - just look at the presentation. Impeccable.

The cafe has an indoor space and a lovely outdoor seating area underneath a tree by the street. Very peaceful spot.

Highly recommend Gathered Cafe for a relaxing mid week breakfast or a weekend...

I recently visited a charming café that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a delightful experience. I decided to start my morning with a cup of their signature coffee, and it was nothing short of fantastic. The barista clearly knew their craft, as the espresso was rich and full-bodied, with just the right balance of acidity. I could taste the care that went into sourcing high-quality beans. It paired perfectly with my breakfast choice—a classic avocado toast. The toast was perfectly crispy, and the avocado was fresh and creamy, making for a satisfying and healthy start to the day.

Overall, I highly recommend this café for anyone looking for a great coffee and a delicious breakfast. The combination of excellent service, a welcoming vibe, and top-notch food makes it a must-visit spot. I can't wait to return and try more...
