This café is right in the heart of Hampton. The Superfood Salad was delish – it had broccoli, cauliflower, kale, sweet potato, quinoa, pomegranate, feta and almonds. Everything was cooked perfectly and there was so much flavour – I ate every last bite. Soy latte was also spot on and came out nice and quick.
I can’t wait to come back and try some more of their menu, especially the dinner menu!
Smashed Avocado & Feta w. Chilli & Roast Tomatoes 🍅

A gorgeous dish with simple ingredients which work so well together! A bit of heat from the chilli, some acidity from the tomato & freshness from the lemon really give this dish a well balanced & very enjoyable vibe 👌🏼 😉
Had dinner at Larsen and Co. and it was really lovely! I had the salmon and my husband had pumpkins tortellini and we were both really happy with our meals! Also had the calamari as entre and it was beautifully cooked! Not huge serving sizes but enough and really lovely flavours! I’d definitely go back.
[Coffee Review]
Had a brief wait for a train out of Hampton today so called past Larsen and Co for a take away coffee. They were in the throws of closing so was much appreciated that they got me my caffeine kick for the afternoon. (I was lacking in energy). Coffee had a good oomph to it and I would defiantly like to try some of those sweet treats in the cabinet when Larsen & Co are “more open”.
They’ve just started doing dinner here so we thought we would check it out. Food was great And the service was really friendly.
Highly recommend
Never fails to impress me the size of the coffees, scrumptious chilli scrambled eggs. Would recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a nice breakfast in Hampton
Ordered the Panna Cotta an Iced Chocolate, kids pancakes and a kids milkshake. Flavours were good across-the-board, didn't get to try the milkshake though as the little one smashed it down before I could get a chance.
Panna Cotta although wasn't presented in the conventional way, did still have the right flavour and the dish itself was nice, I think it was just a little mushy and if set properly would make the dish better.
Pancakes were yum. Banana pancakes with syrup was a winner for both dad and son.
Larsen and Co has become more popular in the suburb, clearly one of the best additions on Hampton St. I've visited this cafe two different occasions recently and this is my two cents about this cafe. Good food and coffee. Nice and clean fit-out and tables on side way. However, service here has been up and down in those occasions. On my last visit, the waitresses is disinterested in serving customers and looks bored which does not look good for the establishment at all.
To sum this up, it's still a great cafe to pay a visit. Am I returning? Yes and hope to be served with genuine smile. 😬
Looked like a nice little cafe as I walked past. Bright and well styled. That all went down hill when I entered. I had to ask for a menu. The staff weren't overally great. Menu average as was the food.
Today early morning had a lovely chai latte at Larsen and Co.
Never had a chai latte like this. Will be back soon.
Thanks to make my day guys.
Fabulous place for lunch. Great menu with something to please everyone. A nice twist on the usual cafe fare.
Both meals today were spot on and service was excellent. Great coffee too. Yum.
Massive coffee cups, lovely pot of tea that went well with the highly delicious brekky! Cheese options are tasty and the eggs were delicious! I came with a girlfriend to catchup over brekky. The service was friendly and they refilled the teapot with hot water for us too which was a lovely touch.
Being locals, my husband and I have tried most coffee places in Hampton and the near vicinity, so I can say with certainly that Larsen & Co has the best coffee! The blend they use, coupled with their ability to make exceptional coffees (let's be honest if you can perfect a soy latte, then enough said!), is why we continue to frequent Larsen.
The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable and laid back. The cafe is dog friendly, which is always a bonus watching the many fur babies who also come here.
The menu is modern, with a contemporary twist on classic meals. The banana pancakes with passion fruit mascarpone are a must, while their take on smashed avocado and toast is also a favourite.
Highly recommend Larsen & Co to all locals or anyone passing through Hampton!
Love this café. Had their chilli scrambled eggs on toast with crispy shallots, fresh coriander & pork belly. It was delish! Eggs were beautifully cooked and has slight kick of the chillies which I love.
Fantastic breakfast here. The wait staff did make an error with our order - but then not only did they refund the cost of the two dishes we'd received (and eaten 😳!) in error, but they insisted on bringing us the correct dish - on the house! Great service. Really yummy food. If we lived in Melbourne, we'd be regulars here. 🙂
I liked it. Alasdair is heading to Italy on Wednesday to continue his research, while I stay in Melbourne, working days and moonlighting as a husky physics tutor.
The coffee here is good - we chose to come here over all other cafes on Hampton street. I had an espresso. Espresso generally is not as beautiful as it was in the mid-late 2000s, and Larsen and Co, perhaps in reference to its Scandinavian styling, is a little light on the pours from the machine. I like it like it used to be- thick, heavy, maybe not as refined/ delicate as what I had today, but of a certain rustic charm. Reminiscent of the Eagle Leather bar in NYC before most of the scene went online. Visceral.
That is fine. Tastes change. Certainly the coffee here was good. Alas and I had a good time. I am just rambling.
Thanks Larsen
Best meal we’ve had out in a long time! Wonderful selection on the menu, food is always delicious! Well catered to any allergies, I have coeliac disease, the staff and chef were more than helpful and very friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for a 5 star meal!
