Lovely brunch , highly recommend service great food sensational , lots variety on menu , had smashed avo with salmon best ever had . Booked a table day before was awaiting our arrival . Will definitely visit again ☕️😊
I’ve been here several times and it never lets me down!
This place is the definition of a Melbourne Cafe/restaurant ☕ such a vibe and very Instagram worthy
We often go there for weekend brunch and have tried quite many from their menu. Love all the food we had but only one thing I don’t like about this place is the berry smoothie. I’m not very big fan of the artificial syrupy taste in fresh smoothie. also, when we order iced coffee or iced mocha that comes with ice-cream it is bit of nuisance that we have to ask for a teaspoon for the ice-cream.
Sooo yummy! Coffee is great too. I come here whenever I’m either to catch up with a group of friends over brunch, or when hungover and need a good, reliable feed. Have tried quite a few items on the menu, so far hasn’t gone wrong.
Housed inside a converted warehouse this Brunswick stalwart turns 10 years old this year. I remember coming here way back in 2010, and learning how this lofty building was originally a power station, and then home to the Lux Oven Company. It’s now heritage listed, and vestiges of the former resident can still be seen around the venue, with vintage stores serving as cutlery stands.
It’s great to see Daniel Amato still taking pride in his venue, and his new addition to the family: A KB90 Espresso machine. “We’ve gone from a Toyota to a Lamborghini, and the baristas love it”. It works a treat with beans sourced from Proud Mary, and their natural El Salvadorian tasted a lot like a Caramello Koala as a short black.
The menu takes a Middle Eastern theme, with their eggs Benny being the pick of the bunch for lunch.
Great food, lovely atmosphere, really enjoyed the outdoor area
Best atmosphere, accommodating staff, meal and coffee was delicious. Will definitely be back
Great spot for a coffee, whether inside the large venue or outside in the courtyard, where there are always lots of cute dogs. They do a nice soy flat white and some good food, my favourite of which is the Middle Eastern breakfast. In my experience, staff are always great.

In a beautiful, converted warehouse in a side street of Brunswick, Lux Foundry is an extremely popular cafe for very good reason. With a hip atmosphere and a warm and welcoming vibe, it's easy to spend time here. There is lots of natural light, and plenty of seating; but with it's popularity, you may have to wait for a table at busy times. It's so worth the wait though.
The staff here are fantastic; so friendly and chatty. We arrived at a busy lunch period, but staff were extremely accommodating and attentive and we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. The coffee and juice that we had were great, and it's also a liscenced venue, so you can have an alcoholic drink if you like.
We enjoyed some fabulous bao, which were light and fluffy with a delicious, spicy filling. The breaky roll was also tasty, and a great choice. A huge bowl of chips was a delicious side, and they were perfectly addictive. There are also lovely treats available from the display, and it's hard to go past a yummy looking muffin.
Brunswick certainly has it's fair share of fabulous eateries, and Lux Foundry is up there with the best. An urban fitout, cool ambience and fantastic food really draw the locals in; and the fabulous service keeps them coming back in droves.
The ambience is so stunning. The old warehouse building is beautiful. I ordered a cappuccino with honey which was nice. And the porchetta roll which was delicious. The service was mainly good. Aside from one particular blonde lady that didn’t do much just chat to the coffee maker. She wasn’t very welcoming and her customer service was lacking. Sometimes a friendly hello makes a world of difference.
First time coming to Lux Foundry and it won't be my last time that's for sure. I honestly cannot express how perfect everything was. The coffee was so delicious we ended up ordering another one round of coffee. Now let's talk about the food, probably one of the best I have had. Everything was on point and cooked to perfection, no one of us could fault anything. The serves were decent sizes that none of us felt the need to add any sides and honestly everything was priced reasonably. Lux Foundry is now one of my favourite cafes that I will be visiting regularly.
First visit here. Arrived nice & early at 8am. Coffee is good. I’m told the Lux breakfast roll was tasty. The rice porridge was nice, but personally think it would be a little better with a cinnamon going through the porridge as it would taste too plain if it weren’t for the toppings. It started to get busy around 8.30. Plenty of seats outside with outdoor heaters. Dog friendly.
Loved staying at the balcony with puppy! Friendly staff and pretty looking food. Ordered scrambled egg and crab w/Sourdough, and it wasn't perfectly my style with unexpected herbs smell and texture of bread even though all my other friends enjoyed it. So it's my personal opinion.
But the coffee was THE COFFEE, high quality!
Recommendable and definitely need to book before heading there,esp weekends
I've now been to Lux Foundry three times and am yet to find a dish that's disappointed. This is an extremely well run cafe with efficient service, quality food and is really well laid out with plenty of outdoor & indoor seating options. To top it off, they're also dog friendly, so you can bring your loyal comrade along as well. Perfect!
Food was AMAZING, really tasty, would eat here again in a heartbeat. Short wait for a table but worth it. Filling portions & well presented. Worth the price.
Lattes & hot chocolate also went down a treat.
Lux was pretty good but not great. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, though the bread was unbuttered and was a slightly dry multigrain rather than a nice sourdough. The service was also fairly ordinary, everything seemed like a massive inconvenience. Dirk witnessed a waitress shake her head aggressively at a customer who had slightly obstructed her path, he found it to be quite intimidating and felt that it affected his enjoyment of the eggs. The eggs were cooked nicely.
Absolutely lives up to the hype. Sure it’s a bit expensive but not by a lot. The outdoor seating is super aesthetic. Great place for some really Instagrammable photos. And the food? Exquisite. Chef’s kiss. The coffee? On point. I really wish I got the name of the wonderful lady that served us. She was so kind and a real trooper, working outdoors on a hot summer day with a smile on. Definitely going back. Possibly my favourite brunch spot in Brunswick.
