When a visitor to Melbourne says, ‘coffee?’ the only response can be, ‘where?’ And when my Sydney-sider friend was stuck in Melbourne over lock-down, the choice was West 48. I admit I had been here before, it was another friend’s favourite café for years, but it had been years, since I had visited so that I recognised the layout before the name.
Our local cafe, great coffee and food :)
Hidden gem in Footscray serving delicious brunch dishes and excellent coffee. It helps that the service is also friendly. Mac and cheese was excellent and still light to eat despite having 3 kinds of cheeses. The corn fritters are not overly oily and paired nicely with the smoked salmon.
Beautiful coffee, nice friendly service and good food, that pretty much sums up West 48.
We went there at about 10:15am and could either wait for a table or sit outside. It was cold but sunny, so we chose to sit out. It was great because they got blankets
Hubby ordered the burger 🍔 and I got the hotcakes 🥞. The kiddies got the most healthy option, which is the brunch bowl w chicken (could choose between chicken, smoked salmon or tofu)
The hotcakes was delightful, although I wasn’t 100% sold on the berries that came with it. It tasted like frozen berries.
The waiter knew I was getting the brunch bowl for kiddies and smartly checked whether we wanted to omit the wasabi. Good move! The kids loved their brunch bowl w fried chicken tenderloins, edamame beans, seaweed, avocado 🥑, Mayo and rice.
Our tummies full and caffeine cravings satisfied, we drove back home for a relaxing Sunday nap.
Wasn’t sure what to expect as this was our first time brunching in Footscray with the baby.
Service was friendly and accommodating. Loved that the outdoor seating had a water cooler spray, much needed for hot days. And baby was happily sleeping in the cool mist too.
Food was also lovely and filling. Our fav was the brunch bowl with crispy chicken. The corn fritters with smoked salmon was delicious as well.
Overall, a stellar brunch experience ❤️
One of the west of Melbourne’s go to brunch spots. In a bustling area of Maribynong & Footscray, it provides a spot for the locals to enjoy and excellent brunch with something on the menu for everyone
We had the lamb curry, weirdly you can only order it after 12. We went there at 1145, so we could not order it when we order at 1155. the waitress was lovely and hold our order for us. The service was great and the coffee was lovely too.
Amazing place and great coffee! Found on Zomato, the reviews lived up to the product. Packed when I got there, fantastic staff and great experience. Will be back

Consistency is sometimes hard in hospitality, however West 48 seems to be able to deliver.
Having visited quite a number of times over the last couple of years, we find that the service and food draws us back despite there being numerous alternatives.
The only negative is street parking - not easy.
More a 4.5. Loved this place. Unsuspecting little cafe off the main stretch of Footscray. Staff were friendly and the food was SO GOOD. A couple of different options that steer away from the usual. Good use of space. Nice coffee. Would come back here ☺️
Delicious breakfast and great coffee, yummy sweets + outstanding service from Ian! Perfect combo to start the day! Highly recommend this place ubereats with them is good too well organized no spill coffee with cling wrap and a crate and quality of coffee is just as always great! Thanks Sandra for always making my coffee so good! 💕
Came here on a Sunday and whilst busy we managed to get a table straight away.
Ordered the corn fritters and coconut eggs. Both dishes were great, coconut eggs in particular was very well balanced and super tasty, roti was a little too crispy for my liking but apart from that was a delicious dish. Coffees and fresh OJ were all up to par for a top Cafe.
Service was prompt and friendly, look forward to coming back and trying more of the fairly extensive menu.
I found this nice cafe by chance, and had nice food.
The volume is a bit small, but the taste was amazing.
Had Maple Waffle and Brunch Bowl.
I went to West 48 for breakfast and ordered the Mushroom Stack. The background music, unique military-style cutlery holder and dog-friendliness created a great ambience to come into.
They have a great menu, which made it hard to choose a dish, but the Mushroom Stack was more than I expected. A generous portion and a nice mix of flavours that made a delicious combination!
A great place for breakfast if you’re in the area. We arrived when it was busy and we sat outside for awhile before we could be moved inside, in winter. The staff are kind and welcoming.
Will definitely be coming back here!
Coffee is good, the Oreo milkshake was amazing. And the food was incredible! Absolutely loved the vegetarian shakshuka and samvar coconut eggs especially!
The staff are friendly and chatty, and the vibe of the place is lovely.
Favourite Cafe in Melbourne so far!
Great local place to eat if you're from the inner West. Delicious selection of food and drink. We expected serving size to be bigger but we didn't leave hungry. Can be busy on the weekends so recommend booking a table, especially if you're bringing your dog for an outdoor seat.
My new favourite cafe! Best food, best staff, best vibes. I’ve been here pretty much every day for the last week.
