The Rumor Mill has a very relaxed atmosphere. The staff are very sweet and the cafe is children friendly. The coffee blends are exceptional and better than that they are made just right. I would recommend the Rumor Mill to anyone looking for a great coffee and a terrific organically driven meal. Xx

I chose to visit Rumour Mill due to their very vegan friendly menu. Everything is clearly marked and they have lots of options. The waffles were absolutely wonderful.
I chose the 'Breakfast Burrito - spiced black beans, scrambled egg, cheese, avocado, sour cream, salsa fresca ($20.00)'. This dish also comes in a vegan version with scrambled tofu. This plump burrito was full of luscious ingredients.
BEST COFFEE and great spot for a breaky date! I don’t think I have ever had a bad meal here!
Can sometimes wait a little while as it’s a really busy cafe but the quality of the food makes up for it!
Staff are always really friendly and accommodating!
Croydon’s Rumour Mill offers some different brunch and lunch dishes, fresh juices and a spacious interior. With parking practically on the door step, and outside seating too, it’s one great, local cafe!
We visited Rumour Mill for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The tables fill quickly, and by the food and coffee that is served, it is not hard to see why. We ordered a Mocha Buzz Smoothie, a Bacon & Egg Banh Mi, Furikake Salmon Benedict, and the Brioche French Toast. The Bacon & Egg Banh Mi was fantastic. Presented in an open soft roll, with crunch and a bit of heat, we loved it. The lovely fresh flavours of the Furikake Salmon Benedict was really enjoyable. The Brioche French Toast was a pretty dish, with flavours to match, and OMG....that pumpkin custard!
Overall, our meals were outstanding, great coffee, and good service. Will definitely visit again.
We thank Rumour Mill for having us. We experienced Rumour Mill as guests, and all of our opinions are genuine and are based on our experience at the time of our visit.
The Rumour Mill is geared towards those with dietary requirements (e.g., raw, organic, vegetarian, gluten, dairy, vegan needs). We went for the lovely mushroom ragu with soft polenta. This was served with puffed amaranth, pine nuts, poached egg and parmesan crisp. This plate of gorgeously golden polenta with the deep flavoured mushrooms impressed him. Warm and nourishing.
Really nice local cafe, the staff are always friendly and lively, and i’ve always enjoyed my food!! Plenty of options to suit anyone’s requirements!
Great cafe located in the leafy eastern suburbs. Comfortable seating, with a homely feel, and friendly staff.
Rumour Mill has a menu that takes traditional dishes and reinvents them brilliantly! The egg and bacon banh mi is the perfect example!! So unique and so delicious. And that savoury polenta porridge was so creamy and full of flavour 😍
Vegans are also looked after with a large selection of vegan-friendly dishes.
Will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu.

Croydon’s brunch scene has been growing and Rumour Mill is another one that has impressed me probably more than any of the ones popping up near the inner CBD. Rumour Mill is a vegan friendly café that serves a menu that caters for that customer base as well as a menu that is vegetarian friendly and also carnivore friendly.
We tried a variety of dishes which included the savoury polenta porridge , the Vietnamese breakfast banh mi , the nourish bowl and the special French toast. The savoury polenta porridge was by far one of the most unique dishes I have had during a brunch date. The polenta which was not grainy at all was creamy and full of flavours of mushroom and truffle, the poached egg really made the dish even more luxe.
The bahn mi which was a spectacle in itself was by far my favourite dish we tried, the roll was filled with bacon, poachies and Vietnamese pickles topped with siracha which added the kick this dish needed .
The green nourish bowl had a lot of healthy vegetables , we added some poached chicken with this dish which I felt this dish really needed. The sautéed vegetables I found was a bit oily and sadly this was my least favourite dish.
For a sweet treat we ordered the French toast which had a bright green Cardamone ice cream , the pumpkin puree and the pecan combination really reminded me of Christmas . A very unique take on a brioche French toast
Thanks for having us !

I visited Rumour Mill over the weekend with friends. Located in a small shopping area in Croydon, it had plenty of tables outside for those enjoying the sunshine. Inside offers much more seating, both booths & tables in a brick & wood interior with some added greenery.
We ordered coffee, juices & a few dishes to share. We couldn’t resist ordering the Savoury Polenta Porridge as it was quite unique & I hadn’t seen anything like it. Well flavoured wild mushrooms, pine nuts, truffled pecorino & a poached egg on top of rich, creamy polenta. This dish was an absolute winner & we all loved it.
We also tried the Bacon & Egg Bahn Mi which was really tasty & had a nice kick of chilli. The masterstock glazed bacon was sticky & moorish, a fun spin on a Bahn Mi.
The Green Nourish Bowl was a nice fresh dish packed with (surprise surprise) green veggies. The fried kale was delicious but the overall flavour of the dish was a little bland, especially compared to the other big flavour dishes.
We finished with the Brioche French toast, served with cardamon ice cream, pumpkin custard, pecan brittle, black sesame & meringue. A pretty looking dish & a nice end to our meal. Thanks so much for having us.
