Went for lunch with a friend at The Little Ox. Vegan and vegetarian options available. Extensive menu that gives you a variety of choice.
š½ garden of eden (minus mayo) - nicely poached egg with sautĆ©ed pumpkin on soft fluffy pumpkin toast.
Chilli scramble - large serve of scrambled eggs with chorizo, tomatoes and bacon. Very filling.
šāāļø friendly arrive. Our waitress was extremely helpful. However, they forgot our coffee order and therefore was not 10/10 service.

The Iced soy Latte is perfect for a Summerās day ā they serve great coffee!
The Garden of Eden was exactly what I wanted. The broccolini and roasted pumpkin were cooked perfectly and I loved the flavour combo ā avocado, beetroot hummus, broad beans, marinated tomato, and a poached egg. The Sweet Corn Fritters are also delicious ā nice and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The service was really good even though they were quite busy. And we sat outside since we had a dog with us.
We visited Little Ox for Boxing Day brunch today which is a cute little cafe in Brighton. I had the smashed avo and given Iām not a fan of halloumi asked if it were possible to swap this for something, fresh tomato was suggested and was a yummy switch. I enjoyed my breakfast and we also had two salads (a lamb and a chicken) as well as the chilli scramble which everyone seemed happy with. A public holiday surcharge but thatās to be expected. Coffee also impressed

I have been visiting The Little Ox for years now and have very rarely been disappointed.
There food is beautifully presented and the staff are friendly.
Also, a recent renovation has made the cafƩ extremely warm, green and inviting.

We called into The Little Ox today for an early brunch on a fine winters day. This cafe has had a change of ownership 1 month ago, the third in its 10 years history and new father and daughter team are keen to make the little ox their own and will shortly be releasing a new seasonal menu.
We enjoyed our St Ali orthodox coffees, served piping hot and creamy, I even had a choice of almond milks whilst ordering. We ordered the breakfast burger with chunky chips and Warrior AƧaĆ Bowl.
Our meals arrived in record speed, my aƧaĆ bowl was adorned with the most fragrant passionfruit half and all the combination of ingredients from fresh fruit to the peanut butter and coyo worked perfectly together. Ā I must say I found the granola a spectacularly crunchy mix and loved that fact it didnāt have goji berries in it, I didnāt have to spend my breakfast avoiding them and relished every mouthful.
The breakfast burger arrived with a generous serve of bacon, wonderful field mushrooms full of flavour (that I could eat by the bowl full) a lovely smokey relish bring all the flavours together, the side of chunky chips were yum and I think the dish would be the perfect hangover cure.
A great local cafe with a good amount of table space and some friendly welcoming service.
Awesome cafe located in Brighton. Had the chilli scramble and beef burger. Scrambled eggs were delicious and the bacon in the burger was unbeatable.
Visited The Little Ox cafe last week and was very impressed. The food, service and decor of the cafe was all fantastic. We tried the chilli scrambled eggs, the breakfast burger and the cheeseburger as well as a juice and smoothie. The standout was definitely the breakfast burger, a great balance of texture and flavour. The potato rosti and bacon provided a nice salty crunch which worked well with the creaminess of the avocado and runny egg yolk! The scrambled eggs were beautiful as well, with just the right amount of spice.
All the staff were very friendly and made the experience one to remember. Will definitely be back!
Excellent coffee! I came here for the first time on a beautiful sunny day and received the best service Iāve ever had in any Melbourne cafe!! The staff here are super lovely and down to earth... the seating outside is awesome, and the coffee is fantastic!
However, upon visiting a second time, I decided to sit inside and it was incredibly stuffy!! Iām not sure if they have aircons. The service this time around was much slower, and the coffee wasnāt very good. I had to ask for a new one, and waited another 15-20 minutes.
I havenāt visited since, but do hope to give it another try considering my excellent first experience.
3.5 Would I return? If in the area, but wouldnāt necessarily make a special trip.
I have a thing for avo, eggs and bacon and so tend to go for this classic brunch option. Good portion size, lightly salted avo and runny eggs which is what you want. Also, bread is important people, and this bread was particularly good. Each of us enjoyed our casual brunch in this small but bright cafe.
Tried this place place for the first time today & it did not disappoint!! Today's breakkie the mushroom medley with smoked salmon which was really yummy. Quick service & reasonably priced. Will be back!
Very friendly staff. Good coffee. Eggs Benny are great, loved the crumpet, maybe a small portion for a guy, but just right for me. Mushroom mixed also very nice. Will come back since the menu had many other great options.
Thought weād try somewhere new for us and local-ish. A bit close to their kitchen closing but they let us squeeze our lunch order in. The chicken sandwich was good and messy and the chips were seriously tasty. Coffee and staff were š
Accessibility info: standard seating outside, no steps at the threshold.
Quick bite at this local cafe after a site visit nearby. Nice sandwich and coffee.

"Tucked away" in a lonesome part of Brighton - as far as cafes and stores go - is The Little Ox. It's in an area much more conducive to finding good parking, and has a nice, welcoming feeling to it on the inside. I came here today on a warm, sunny day, and they have a big outdoor seating area, and plenty of room on the inside, with big wide open windows to make you feel part of the outside still.
They have a great all day menu full of your favourites, and a good selection for lunch. Admittedly, I really only ordered a salmon Eggs Benny, which yes, is something I can make at home, but it was still presented well and these things always taste better when someone else makes it for you (though I would have had a side of butter with mine if I knew how dry the toast was going to be). I had a Mango Smoothie too, and that was nice, though the passionfruit inside it, almost overtook in flavour. Everyone at my table LOVED their coffees, and their burger and Ruebin sandwich were apparently great too.
Overall this was a great lunch outing. I can't really fault it at all. All well priced and everything tasted good and was presented nicely. I had been wanting to come here for a while now, so I'm glad I finally got the chance and would highly recommend it.
Little Ox is our favourite local!! Staff are friendly and attentive and food and coffee are excellent. Wife is a HUGE fan of the chilli scrambled eggs, and for me poached eggs with all the sides or Eggs Benedict. We are a tad lazy, so most Sundays (and some week days) we get home delivery via Ubereats and the food travels well! Highly recommend!!
Brekkie burger was AMAZING. Also great cold brew coffee!
Great delicious brunch, full of flavour. Strong coffee.
