Absolute staple. Amazing staff (always a great laugh - we love them!); dynamic fusion cooking and a wine and food menu that seamlessly transitions from day to night.
We were staying in an air b&b just up the road and Archie's quickly became our favourite local. Great coffee, fantastic food (best ever generous smashed avo) and the atmosphere was so inviting. We went back every day and had a breaky, lunch and dinner.
Crispy Poached Eggs
The creaminess of the poaches eggs and sesame sauce, the freshness of the kimchi combining with the sourdough created a perfectly balanced dish. Smart use of the kimchi, a very refreshing combo.
Fried Chicken and Waffles
Absolutely loving this dish. The chicken was crispy, packed with flavour and the waffle was not too sugary. That chipotle butter elevated the whole dish, making it less stuffing.
Heard so much about Archie's all day during my years in Fitzroy and finally made a visit there. Went on a Monday lunch time and it was so busy, almost no seats available even they have got outside seating, indoor, booth and courtyard.
Staff are all pretty much hipster but very friendly and efficient. We ordered the chicken waffle and the Fish burger+cheese. They offered extra syrup for waffle so you can adjust how sweet it is to your like. My cold brew was so refreshing and light loved it! the only thing is (maybe because I am getting old) the music was quite loud and with very strong beats.. But I had a good meal there!

Such an amazing ricotta hotcake!! And especially to all my lemon lovers, this tart treat is for you!
FOOD: I ordered their famous beautiful Ricotta Hotcakes and they were spectacular! I’ve seen amazing pictures and heard amazing raves so I knew I HAD to go and I do not regret going at all! This was such a special ricotta hotcake because it brought in elements of - LEMON!! It tasted like the best lemon bar in the world but the hotcake... the texture of the hotcake was PHENOMENAL! It was one of the best because it hit the nail on the head of every aspect - fluffiness, pillowiness, chewiness!! The lemon custard went so well with the mascarpone which balanced all the flavours and it brought a dessert that wasn’t too sweet or too sour!! I loved every aspect of this hotcake dish and I would definitely put it as one of my top hotcakes ever!
SERVICE: Service was good!
Overall, I can see why Archie is completed packed at 9am on weekdays. WEEKDAYS!! Their food is as beautiful as their interior and I’ll definitely be returning to try more 🤤 Chicken and waffles ur next 🌚
I can understand why there is always a queue in front of Archie’s, it’s because the food and service is always of a certain quality! I have visited Archie’s twice this month, and I have not regretted it. Both times, I had the hot cakes with ricotta and they have not let me down. Would definitely recommend anybody who loves brunch to visit Archie’s!
A nice, bright cafe with really nice food, friendly staff and good coffee. I tried the crispy eggs with kimchi and edamame beans and the cauliflower/potato hash with mushrooms and really liked both. Recommend for a pleasant, uplifting meal.
Never eaten here because it's always packed but I did visit for a coffee. My oat flat white wasn't my favourite but was still above average. Space is a bit cramped but pleasant and service is nice.
Delicious late lunch! Ordered a tofu burger, cauliflower salad, glass of bubbles and Bloody Mary. All delicious! The burger was quite interesting in flavour lacked a bit of sauce but otherwise faultless.
Service was wonderful. So friendly and attentive even in such a busy setting.
Really liked the crispy poached eggs, very unique flavour with asian kimchi,will come back for it next time
Really like this place, the food and coffee were good specially the chicken waffle was amazing, great atmosphere. The service was pretty decent for a busy cafe.
We came across this place by accident as the place we were going to was full. This was also very busy but they sat us down immediately. The service was quick and wonderful even thoug it was so packed.
We had some the crispy poached eggs and the potato and cauliflower fritters. They were both amazing and that something special that you’re looking for. However the crispy poached eggs was out of this world. I have been telling all my friends about it and will definitely go back for it eventhough I always prefer to go somewhere new , I’m happy to have this place as a regular.
