Gorgeous hipster food at relatively hipster prices, nice hipster atmosphere for local and non-local hipster visits, could probably do with less direct hipster name calling to "hipster" customers but otherwise a delightful hipster xp. #hipsterpride
I remember going to this place years ago when it opened.
Back then it was a little gem even before it was cool to eat out for brekkie in the north
And today, it still is a little gem...the food was delish, full of flavour.
I had the herbed mushrooms with poached eggs...the Dood behind the counter made me a perfectly smooth soy latte that I had a second.
And the service was with a smile. So thanks Dood, I'll be back!
Excellent portion sizes. Zucchini and corn fritters were well cooked - crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside with good balance of ingredients/flavours. Smoked salmon portion very generous compared to other cafes. Fresh ingredients, would come back again.
Despite the mixed reviews recently I wanted to experience this place for myself. Wedged between two trendy spots, this place is reminiscent of the old school cafes.
The Egyptian Poached Eggs consisted of two steaming and slightly over-poached eggs, resting on a pumpkin and potato rosti, served with a generous sprinkling of dukkah, rocket and chilli jam. The dukkah made the dish so much more interesting while the chilli jam added some punch.
This place isn't much to look at but the booths and seats are comfy and the service was on point. There were only three other customers when I entered so there was not much ambiance. There are so many great cafes in competitive Brunswick - for me this place lacks the hook to draw the crowd or repeat visits.
Finally got to visit Dood where's my car in Brunswick. Nice little cafe, but with some comfy seating and even a few booths for larger groups.
Service was pretty solid considering there was a first day trainee on the floor.
Coffee was OK. Little too hot.
Food was pretty good. Had a lot of interesting stuff on the menu, so will have to go back to try them.
I think the best part was the price was a lot cheaper than most cafes in Melbourne these days.
Wedged between two other 'trendy' cafes, we were really happy with our choice to go here. Good coffee, lovely meals, great value for the price. Try the Egyptian eggs. We'll be back

Dood 328 is a small comforting classic indie cafe located alongside the fellow cafe competitor of Rays on Victoria Street Brunswick. This cafe although only being small with a few large tables at the front and only a couple of booths situated towards the back of the cafe near the kitchen creates a friendly relaxed environment, allowing customers to really enjoy the great service and ambiance Dood 328 offers.
Entering this cafe on a beyond freezing Melbourne Sunday afternoon a friend and I where greeted by a lovely waitress who seated as in one of the booths and presented us with menus.
We ordered hot beverages of choice being a long mac and a chai latte that arrived quickly. The Long mac was nice and hot but could have been slightly stronger. The chai latte was defiantly a winner though. The creamy texture of the aromatic drink was balanced perfectly with spice and sweetness.
After determining what our tastebuds craved for the awfully cold weather of the day we ordered classic winter dishes of the Quinoa porridge and the potato and leek soup with charred bread off the specialised board.
Our food arrived looking homely and delicious with steam escaping from the dishes.
The soup was on the salty side and the added cheese on top probably didn’t do the dish any favours yet dunking the smokey crisp bread into the soup certainly did keep the palate excited. The soup was of a good consistency being nice and smooth with no large clumps of potato getting stuck in ones teeth.
The Quinoa porridge cooked in almond milk with poached pear and rhubarb, slivered almond and vanilla yoghurt was certainly the more preferred dish. The porridge was of the perfect consistency not to watery and not at all gluggy. The quinoa was cooked to utter perfection along with the soft poach fruits that maintained there shape when pulled apart. The yoghurt on top added sweetness to the dish to balance the tart rhubarb and the addition of the slivered almonds complimented the dish adding textual crunch.
After the first chai latte being so fabulous we ordered another as we indulged in Dood 328 magnificent food admiring the unique interior walls of the cafe that where lined with comic strip wall paper.
Dood 328 is a lovely cosy cafe that is sure to leave one with a full belly and not burn a hole in your pocket. The more than pleasant staff that occupy this trendy cafe truely ensures that ones dining experience is utterly enjoyable.
Great food & service. Gotta try the chicken snitzel focaccia, it's amazing!!!! 5 people in our group of 10 have it each Sunday! Milkshakes good too.
Lovely service, decent homey food and nice atmosphere. I ordered a big breakfast, which ticked off everything I love in big brekky - mushrooms, beans, tomatoes, bacon, etc. Can't go wrong with Eggs Benedict either :P
So good!. Consistently great coffee, and the batista was a real friendly chap! Will definitely recommend it to everyone
TLDR: Make sure you try the awesome onion relish. Why? Because it’s awesome!
Fantastic. Exceptional customer service every single time. Really yummy food although most dishes are huge (could easily be halved and you'd still be full). Definitely keep coming back here over and over!
Breakfast with champions at Dood328: Chia Bircher, fruit toast and soy cap.
Bacon and eggs were delicious.... Gluten free options available. Check out the booths in the back with the cool comic books wall paper.
Tasty coffee and friendly staff. The seats on the street get lovely sunshine in the morning
Giving the stars for delicious home made crumpets, caramelised fig preserve, great toast and addictive real proper jam. Love the sunny front, though if you want a retro booth situation that is also the go.

Went to go to Ray's next door, but it was insanely packed and the staff were a wee bit cranky (public holiday blues presumably.) Dood328 offered an oasis, an almost empty space despite people spilling out from next door. I'm really shocked more people don't give the Dood a chance when Ray's is busy - the food was lovely, the coffee fine and the staff were really friendly and chilled out. Herbed mushrooms with gluten free toast was absolutely delicious - really herby and interestingly flavoured, with a perfectly poached egg and really good GF toast. The coffee was nothing to write home about but still did the job. Dood definitely doesn't have the hipster ambiance of Ray's, but if you can get past the faux-chandeliers and "My Prerogative"-era Britney on the stereo, it's a really acceptable substitute.
