Cafe on point today - house chai is great, spinach & corn fritters well worth a try, and vibe was chill and lovely. After 12 months away I'm glad I came back. Also good to see gingerbread pancakes still on menu �
Took the family here today and had an absolutely awesome tasty chicken burger, it was mouth watering and full of great tasting herbs and spices. The freshly squeezed passionfruit drink was awesome and refreshing. Was looking at the reviews below and did not experience any of the bad service. The staff were very inviting and great help..the menu is actually enticing and the new management seem to have the customers best interest.

Fantastic food, great coffee and very friendly staff.
Came to Lucy Lockett on a public holiday Tuesday and it was surprisingly empty - considering how yummy it was, I was surprised by the initial absence of people!
Ordered:
🍆 Aubergine with envy (vegan): miso eggplant, white bean puree, mushrooms, spinach and crispy kale. Served on a slice of sourdough ($18.00)
Review:
Really friendly, engaging service. There was lots of laughter amongst the staff which set a really comforting environment for the customers. Super fun!
The food was really good. Different mushrooms, a good variety of textures from the soft miso eggplant and mushroom to the crunchy fried enoki mushroom strands, crispy kale and the more grittier bread. Really amazing flavours at work too!
Large expansive tables (the biggest I've ever been seated at) and a great place to catch up with friends. I'd recommend Lucy Lockett!
Incredibly generous serves or delicious food, with a huge amount of vegan options. The staff are always friendly, delightful, accommodating to dietaries. A really lovely touch is their commitment to being environmentally-friendly.
I absolutely adore Lucy Lockett. The staff are incredibly welcoming, the food is wonderful, the vegan options are great! I come to Lucy Lockett at least once a week, and have been doing so for the last two years. It's one of my favourite cafes in Melbourne.
Went to this place for the second time today. Loved it. Staff were friendly and so funny! Very welcoming of our dogs and the food is always delicious. The coconut iced latte recommendation was the bomb! New fav spot.
What a great little find! The food is scrumptious and there is plenty of it. The drinks as yummy - especially the chai latte! Service is also really good.
Seriously one of the best brunch spots in Brunswick 😍😍 Lucy Lockett serving up quality smashed avocado, AMAZING fritters (defs coming back for this) and delicious fresh mango, passionfruit orange juice 👌👌 If you're ever north of the city this is definitely one to try. We've been back for their fritters again and again. Keen to go back and try out some of their other dishes 🙋🙋
Haven't tried their food yet, but always impress me with good coffee. One of my favorite coffee spot in the area. Friendly staffs. Great ambiance. Greens and books.
フードは食べたことないけどコーヒーは抜群。見た目もかわいくて居心地のいいカフェです。シティからでも出向く価値あり。
I went here for the first time about a month ago and have been back three times since then. It’s a nice space and the food and coffee are both excellent. Numerous vegan options and I can vouch highly for the two I’ve tried, the Boulevard of Broken Greens and the Miso Vegan. Staff are really friendly and welcoming. Struggling to think of anything negative to say about this place. It’s just plain good.
This funky little cafe in a side street of Brunswick has a cool, relaxed vibe. With delicious food and coffee and friendly staff, it's always a pleasure to drop in here for a bite to eat. With lots of healthy options, and a huge vegan selection; it's hard to believe such tasty food is also good for you. I would recommend this cafe if you are in the area.
Lovely little place to stop for coffee and food, tucked away, but easy to find.
Staff were super friendly and helpful.
Coffee was excellent.
I had 2 poached eggs on whole grain, for $12, was cooked to perfection.
My son had the Eggs Benedict, delicious and a very generous serving.
Their menu is very varied, and caters for everyone.
I loved their book section, use, recycle etc, but it would be great if you could buy the books or book swap when you go in for coffee or food etc.
Very highly recommend a visit, and I will definitely go again
Strong espresso, delicious meals with a generous serve and wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, carnivorous and burger options. Decently priced too!
I wish staff served as sooner when we sat down but they may have been busy. Food came quick enough after we ordered which is what counts to me.
We sat outside, which was perfect for a sunny day, but inside was spacious with a cool vibe. Not too noisy.
Plenty of large and small tables or long counter benches to accommodate. The books are a nice touch.
I'd add extra points if I could for being a dog friendly cafe.
Plenty of parking nearby.
Highly recommended for catch up with friends or sitting alone to work or chill.
Great, friendly and extremely helpful staff. They go above and beyond 🙏😊. Great food and coffee.
Positive vibes. Books and games available.
Cute little almost-alley cafe. Right on Barkly Road leading to Barkly Square and incredibly easy to miss as it's set back a little way. However you'll probably spot it by the throng of people.
Often too busy to sit at we attended on a quiet day and found ourselves a seat at a humongous picnic table sized table (Thank God for a change someone has realised how much people don't like to be squeezed onto a clipboard sized table).
We were sitting with perhaps three to five people on other tables, two of whom were already eating. We were attended to within about a minute, seated with menus, cold water and a drinks menu available from the cutlery pot on our table.
The confusing part is next. Why is it that our coffee, with only three to five other people (two, as I discussed before, whom were already eating) took about twelve minutes to get to our table? LL wasn't busy, in fact from what I've seen of this gorgeous cafe, this is what I'd consider "Dead" in hospitality terms.
Perhaps a new barista, I've never been there before, perhaps just a slow mindset due to the missing usual throng. But anywhere above ten minutes is a bit silly when there's so few people sitting in the cafe.
The coffee was delicious but weak, (that's fine- I've never had this blend before so didn't know to ask for strong) and came hot. So no complaints there as the flavour was delicious.
The food is where this review picks itself up.
A delicious and (Oddly cheap) breakfast roll. Served on a gorgeous black dish with a smear of chilli jam, crispy bacon, perfectly cooked egg and butter. Just.... Wow. Really. Best breakfast roll I've had in a good long time.
My partner got the build your own eggs with chorizo. Chorizo was delicious however eggs were a little firm and not so creamy/soft that you love to see with scrambled.
But we can't complain about the food- the taste was flawless.
We had a great time- and I don't want the timing on coffee to throw this whole review off. It's a -great- cafe with great decor and friendly-ish staff. Not super chatty or welcoming but kind and pleasant.
Perhaps just a bad day or tension behind the lines.
The cafe is mostly a vegan/vegetarian styled cafe (As you can see on the menu posted) however getting meat clearly isn't a problem for the omni's amongst us. There's options for us too so definitely don't avoid.
Would -happily- go again to see if anything changes as I had and still have high hopes.
Good value creative breakfast dishes in a chilled out atmosphere.
As you enter from Barkly St, the cafe is generously set out and well decorated. The atmosphere here is laid back, perfect for a weekend brunch. The menu offers a moderately sized range of creative dishes, which are good value for money between ~ $15 - $20.
I had the Croissant Benedict, a successful combination of a crunchy croissant with the delicious bacon, poached egg and hollandaise combo that you're used to.
With lots of competition in the Brunswick area, Lucy Lockett is keeping up. Will be coming back.
It’s been a while but I went for brunch with my friend and her 2 daughters, and the staff was very friendly with the them! The menu was simple but pretty fresh and good! 😊
Will be definitely coming back!
Best customer service ever!
Walked in on New Years Day, shop was super busy and had some staff call in sick too which was affecting the service.
Wait staff (super friendly) explained the situation to us before hand and told us food will be late even before we order. Had to wait almost an hour for the food but it was well worth the wait. And in the mean time the staff smiled and talked to us and made us feel welcome and looked after. Definitely coming back..
Also did I mention it’s dog friendly? 🐶
Such a cute venue, attentive service, huge portions, delicious coffee! So nice to sit outside and have a creative vegan brunch. Need to go back to try more of the menu
