Popped by for lunch, and the food was amazeballs, both what I and the company I was with had. Nice and down to earth place. Came back for coffee today, and the vibe and service was excellent - thanks!
Thank you Arcadia cafe and Daniel for taking care of us so early on New Year's Day you had so much fresh food and the best service and flavours to brighten our breakfast the V choc chip are epic !
Absolutely loved my experience at Arcadia, beautiful food, perfect coffee and lovely staff. The atmosphere is so cozy and homey, perfect for enduring Melbourne winter. There is also an incredible selection of cakes to choose from which have been a joy to test out recently. Will be back!
Have been to this cafe a couple of times and loved every visit. Not only do they have a great menu but also heaps of options to choose from in the display window that are both filling, vegetarian, healthy and very tasty. I most recently had the vegetable fritters which were served on a kale and sweet potato salad. I was left feeling super satisfied with the meal and enjoyed every vegetable part of this meal, even though I'm not usually vegetarian.
Definitely recommend checking this cafe out when you are in the Fitzroy area!
Roast Chicken Focaccia Sandwich and a latte for lunch. Sometimes it's the simple moments that provide me a resolution. Sitting alone in a cafe up against the front window looking out at the rain and passers bye. Service: 8/10, F: 7/10, Cf: 4/5
My favourite place for coffee in Fitzroy!! Staff are beautiful and we have never had a bad experience. The coffee really is a little piece of me! Must try!
Very friendly and great environment. I was there from 4.15pm to 5.20pm on Monday practicing for a job interview. When I left I realised everything around me was packed and the place had actually already shut at 4.30pm but the lady was so polite that she didn’t ask me to leave. Their service was beyond my expectation for a $5 coffee I had spent there. Highly recommend this cafe and would definitely go again but will make sure I leave on time! 😊
The manager working at this cafe is a delight! Service was very friendly and attentive with perfect timing between coffees and our meals. The smashed avo was on the slightly smaller size compared to other Melbourne cafes but still delicious. The toast cane buttered which was annoying as butter upsets my stomach so perhaps butter should be listed on the menu or on the side. The omelette was HUGE!!! Lots of sweet treats on display.
It’s a 3.5 for me, another example of why you need the half mark option. The cafe sits nicely on Getrude St and is a bright airy space. I had coffee here with a friend. The coffee was lovely and made exactly to my taste. The service was lovely from several servers younger and older. I didn’t eat here but will do next time.
Been the once and omg the tasty breakfast menu! The corn fitters with advo and poached eggs were a really triumph in flavorsome breakfast delight .. who woulda thought of capers too! Loved it a lot and cant wait to try the menu again.
Always guaranteed a great coffee & a great breakfast that's very much value for money. Staff are always very professional and try to accommodate where they can. I love sitting on the bench by the front window - great little spot to watch the happenings of Gertrude street
Very nice breakfast/brunch food and place to just sit and relax with a friend. Has amazing chai latte! I enjoyed the general atmosphere and vibe!
Came here for the bottomless boozy brunch on a Sunday and I loved it! Such a cute spot to catch up with friends + food and drinks were tasty. I loved the corn fritters, it was so good!!! Staff were very nice and friendly too :) The Waffles & green bowl on the menu actually looks very tempting too, so will bring my partner here to try them next time!

Arcadia has one of the quintessential Fitzroy cafe vibes - loved dining on the street and watching the bustle of Fitzroy go past. Their Eggs Benny had a delicious hollandaise sauce on some lovely warm toasted English muffins. The ragu pasta was also a hearty, meaty option and the sauce was very flavoursome. I would love to try their other sweet options next time (the french toast sounds very promising!) as I found the berry pancakes a tad on the sweet side.

With the sunshine out, we ate outdoors and had a lovely time watching the hustle and bustle of Gertrude Street and watching trams past us by.
The food here is absolutely delicious! There are lots of veggie options and places to sit. The staff are great and perfect for any cafe feed :)

Arcadia is definitely one of the best brunch places in Fitzroy, especially with their twists on the classic brunch dishes and their extensive options to accommodate dietary requirements e.g. Gluten Free, Vegetarian, or Vegan 🍃
We got:
☕️ Latte & Matcha Latte
The coffee was delicious! I’ve also been obsessed with Matcha again and this didn’t disappoint. We always enjoy hot drinks esp on the rainy day we had 🥶
🍳 Huevos Rancheros
We believe this was our first time having a crispy tortilla for brunch! It’s genius to have this as a brunch option as it’s quite hard to find in the morning and the dish itself was sooo freaking delicious 🤤 Andrew ordered this one and I was jealous, it’s not everyday that I get jelly of his food! 😂 All of the flavors and textures in this dish were spot on ‼️ The sweet, savory, tangy, bit of spice were well balanced.
🥗 Some like it Hot & Scrambled
This dish was also very yum! I rarely get anything with avo but I can never say no to Sujuk! Then combining that Sujuk flavor with the spice from Harissa sauce was just *chef kiss* 👌🏻 Scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked, oh and the knife was amazing to cut through sourdough bread (this is rare find! 😂)
As it was raining heavily, we preferred to dine indoor, but we could definitely tell how good it would be to sit either outside or on the courtyard when it’s a sunny day ☀️
Overall, we’d love to come back to try their other dishes as some were quite intriguing like Halloumi Burger, Holy (not) Cow Burger, Papa’s Pappardelle and more 😋
The best corn and zucchini fritters I’ve ever had - perfect amount of crispness and the corn was sweet and juicy. It could have been stacked for a neater appearance and salad was a bit excessive, but otherwise the dish was hard to fault. No complaints from my dining companion who had the Arcadian eggs and ricotta hotcakes. Ricotta hotcakes very well presented and the dulce de leche garnish was a nice touch.

Arcadia is a great cafe located along Gertrude Street, Fitzroy. Visiting on a sunny winter morning for brunch we opted to sit outside and take advantage of the sunshine.
We ordered the Arcadian eggs, macadamia dukkah eggs and the French Brioche to share. For drinks we had the green cleanse and mocha peanut butter protein smooothies. Everything we ordered came out beautifully presented.
For me the highlight was the French Brioche, it was amazing. Featuring brioche French toast with crunchy peanut butter, fresh berries, raspberry coulis, passion fruit curd, dulce de leche & rose water pannacotta, it was full of flavour and texture. All the components and flavours of the dish worked together beautifully. It was sweet but surprisingly not too sweet, the fruit and peanut butter balanced the sweetness.
The macadamia dukkah eggs were lovely. Although simple in appearance, everything was done well from the halloumi to the blistered cherry tomatoes and the perfectly poached eggs. I really enjoyed the olive toast.
The Arcadian eggs was another tasty dish. I liked the touch of sriracha in the hollandaise. Whilst the smoothies were filling and refreshing.
Overall I had a great experience at Arcadia. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious. I recommend you check them out if in the area. I rate Arcadia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5. Thanks very much for having me.
Totally recommend the place. Amazing food, nice drinks-just as strong as i like them :) and incredible service. Defs coming back. Worth the travel ❤
