These guys made the BEST COFFEE! Usually I’d pick up a takeaway however I have eaten breakfast by their open fireplace and it was a beautiful experience.
Here are some photos of my in ore of their stunning biscuits which they always display!
Chocolate chip & Monte Carlo! Doesn’t get any better!
Friendly local staff, dependable coffee, and an excellent menu; Balmain's is a local favourite for a good reason. There's a lot to love in this little cafe, and I recommend the mushroom on toast for a light breakfast option.
Hands down best coffee in Melbourne. Service is exceptional with Friendly staff with gr9 vibes. Shout to my bean hunters Derek and Emma ☕️🍰🍳
The staff are very friendly and welcoming, it has a lovely relaxed vibe and excellent coffee! The best in the area and definitely my go to coffee shop. A must try
The coffee here is incredible!
Sometimes you have to wait a bit longer than you would like for it, but when it comes its worth it.
Get down and see for yourself
Best smashed avo and feta in Melbourne! Really generous portion sizes and reasonably priced meals. Great coffee and really good hot chocolates. Perfect for a cozy brunch or afternoon meal.
An oasis of coffee perfection in Brighton
The smell of freshly ground beans enticed me in to try a coffee at Balmains. The sight of multiple grinders and a Synesso machine bode well and the passion of the new owners was matched by the perfectly made coffee. They know their stuff here. It's a simple recipe, friendly efficient staff and coffee to die for. I haven't sampled any breakfast items yet but the range of pastry item and croissants have kept me coming back. Can't recommend highly enough.
This cafe is an all rounder & as Zac said to me, ‘Have passion & keep the love.’ Which is exactly what he has achieved.
ou better be sitting down for this Huge Announcement:
I have found what can only be described as The Best Avocado Toast in Melbourne at Balmain’s on Were Street. (Braaaaaghton, dahling.)
This is high praise, because that’s what I have for breakfast every single day of my life.
A new Balmains emerging?. The new owners are clearly trying to redefine this small humble cafe that pumps out superior coffee on this quite leafy affluent suburb called Brighton. It is happening gradually though, with a new food menu to match their superior coffee (which they source from Five Senses, Proud Marry and occasionally Market Lane) - and the enhanced friendly service which was previously hindered by the arrogance of the previous owner Zac. However, with a new renovation earmarked this up-coming holiday one could expect a radical change from this humble entity, but hopefully retaining the warmth character Balmains embody.
Coffee focused small cafe in Brighton. Interesting to see they charge the same for espressos and filter coffee (pour overs etc). Barista team are on point here, will definitely drop by next time I’m passing through the area.
Great little cosey place for coffee or brunch
Got to try the Birch muesli and known for their awesome chai latte's
Of course the best coffee in Brighton
