The staff were busy but even so they were helpful, coffee was good and consistent. And the breakfast was really good, looked small but was really filling.
Sick as hell name too. Jus' Sayin'
Fergus is always reliable for great food and coffee, staff are always friendly every time I come in
Yummy sliders and good Coffee. Nice eating in courtyard
4.0 Very Good
We made a booking here and although it was a cold day it was nice out back where they had a sheltered outdoor space. It was dog friendly and even had a corner for kids to play.
It was also my first coffee in a long time, I did wish it was slightly more stronger but I did enjoy the smoothness of my latte.
I ordered their shakshuka which consisted of baked egg, beans, chorizo, lamb rosemary sausage and topped with lime yoghurt. It was a very hearty meal and probably the best shakshuka I’ve had to date despite the egg not being runny (it never seems to be). Although quite savoury it had a lovely sweetness, I only wished that there was more Turkish bread to accompany the dish.
Solid brunch spot in the south eastern suburbs, make sure you book a table as it was at capacity (20 customers) when we were there.
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking Fergus is just what you can see from the front door. While internally there is a large communal table, window bar and several individual tables – perfect for solo dining, a quick coffee, or brunch on a quite day, continue through the store to their spacious hidden courtyard out back where you can enjoy a more relaxing dining experience.
I visited Fergus with some friends for brunch. My strong skinny almond lattes were nice. I won’t comment on the service as this was an invitation.
Situated in a bright undercover courtyard this was a great cafe outside and nice and bright inside the cafe facing the street.
I tried the Fergus Benedict which was perfectly cooked poached eggs w spinach, grilled bacon, a really yummy hollandaise sauce, on a crispy rosti w fresh apple radish salad.
This was a solid dish, the potato rosti was crispy and crunchy.
My friends enjoyed their food and some of the dishes looked extremely impressive.

The brunch game at Fergus is strong. The team here has everything down pat – charming service, excellent food and outstanding coffee. With a cute and cosy courtyard, you’ll be hard-pressed not to enjoy your experience here.
The Shakshuka is a must order here. Hearty, rich and especially comforting for the colder days ahead. Plenty of chorizo and lamb rosemary sausage makes this an incredibly filling dish, and the piquant sauce is just divine. The lime yoghurt balances out this heavy dish with a subtle citrusy tang, and you’ll find yourself lapping up every last bit of the sauce.
The Club Sandwich aims to please. Layers upon layers of fresh and tasty fillings, and the combination of Dijon mustard and tomato relish gave this sanga a sharp and sweet kick. The hot and crunchy chips keeps you coming back for more, and provides a good contrast to the soft and juicy sanga.
Simple but effective is the French Toast. Soft and fluffy bread, crushed pistachio, poached pears, mascarpone and maple syrup makes for a wonderful combination of taste and texture. Nutty, with a touch of caramelised sweetness, and so moreish.
The Fergus Benedict and Pulled Pork Tacos got the thumbs up from my friends, as did the fantastic coffees. A faultless experience from start to finish.
Located in leafy Malvern, Fergus draws in the crowds with an honest and unpretentious brunch offering.
The menu is extensive and boasts options that suit everyone. Think nourishing bowls, hearty mushroom medleys atop crusty bread and yummy sweet treats.
As expected of any great Melbourne café, coffee is great and poured by adept baristas. There are also plenty of drink options for those not so caffeine-inclined.

This place is such a lovely brunch spot. We really like the courtyard area in the back, which makes our brunch much more enjoyable. We had the shakshuka, pulled pork tacos and prawn linguine. All the dishes were really good, the highlight has got the be the shakshuka. The flat bread dipped in the sauce was just heaven.
We really recommend this place!
Friendly service, deliciously fresh dishes and drinks, cute courtyard. Loved everything about this cafe!
We ordered the Protein Bowl with added smoked salmon and avo, the Bircher Muesli, the Zucchini & Corn Fritters and the Berry Acai smoothie. Every dish was packed with flavour and went down very well 😊😊.
Will be back again soon!

I'm so glad that I discovered this gorgeous cafe in the leafy streets of Malvern East. Fergus is all white brick walls and warm timbers, with plenty of natural light, comfortable seating and a relaxed vibe. The staff and baristas are excellent. So friendly and welcoming, making Fergus the perfect retreat for locals. The cafe was packed full when I dined here just before Christmas, so it's evidently quite popular. Being the festive season, I started with a crisp glass of wine, while hubby went for the iced coffee. This was one of those marvels where you pour hot milk over an iced coffee sphere, creating the perfect blend for an iced drink. So delicious. The cappuccinos were also amazing, so the barista really knows his stuff. The menu is quite diverse, and there are some delicious options to choose from. We went with some super tasty corn fritters, and this dish was a super generous serve with four perfectly round fritters sitting atop steamed spinach, and topped with smashed avo and a gorgeous poached egg. This was an impressive tower, and the fritters were so crispy but tender, with great seasoning and excellent flavour. I couldn't resist the amazing French toast, as it's one of my favourite things to order for brunch. This version was so soft, not too eggy,and came with cream and a gorgeous poached pear, and an ample sprinkling of my favourite nuts... pistachios. A jug of maple syrup was great for some extra sweetness, and I really loved Fergus' take on this cafe classic. It was such a pleasure to dine at this fantastic gem of a cafe, and I really believe that Fergus has everything going for it. So many fantastic food choices, amazing coffee, a liquor licence and of course a pretty, comfortable space to relax in. The staff are the loveliest people around, and I can't wait to return to try more of their fabulous menu.
This little cafe is a goldmine, super busy but attentive staff. Food came out hot and quick and was delicious. Lots of street parking options, little outdoor seating area. Clean bright space that’s been thoughtfully designed. Recommend!
Lovely local little cafe, with friendly staff, cosy! Rear courtyard is spacious, and front bench made it easy to come alone or with a group. All day lunch menu is great for those that want a big start, and specials are always interesting!
Great menu and delicious food. A lovely environment with a covered/heated courtyard. Good service too. Would recommend
This is a great neighbourhood cafe. There is a fantastic spacious covered courtyard that welcomes dogs. The coffee is consistently great and the service is efficient and welcoming. The food is delicious and the menu is tempting. This is a versatile, lovely cafe where you can choose to linger if you wish or have a quick lunch break.
One of the best places to go to breakfast/lunch. Really friendly staff, good food at a good price, great portion sizes and an easy location to access from public transport. Fergus is one of Malvern East’s best cafes in my opinion would highly recommend. Pictured below is the smashed avo (+ egg) on normal and gluten-free bread.
Gorgeous cafe in East Malvern. I had the mushroom toast here on a busy Monday morning. It was presented beautifully with a great selection of mushrooms. The coffee was good, service was great, I really love the decor relaxed vibe and courtyard at the back. The perfect location for brunch with mates or a small get together with family and friends.
