The coolest cafe in a cool urban hub of Brunswick, Code 21 is the kind of cafe you dream about. With it's cool decor, large open space and fantastic food; the beautiful staff and great service really bring it altogether. Innovative takes on classic brunch dishes makes this the brunch destination choice of many locals.
With beautiful plating, each dish is so elegantly put together, and if you eat with your eyes, you will want to dive right in. The smashed avo for instance, has the classic combination of avo and feta on toast but with the addition of strategically placed sliced beetroot which adds height, flavour and extra crunch to the dish. The eggs were perfectly poached, and the creamy egg, avo and feta are the dream combo.
The spiced hotcakes are a sight to behold. Layers of fluffy lightly spiced pancakes are stacked with berry compote, lemon curd, berries and meringue shards and definitely taste as divine as they look. A generous serve, there's plenty to share with your friends.
The coffee and drink selection is also excellent, and there are a nice selection of pastries to choose from. Like the neon sign says 'I licked it, so it's mine', as you will want to stake claim on each and every dish that arrives on your table.
Awesome mocha. Friendly staff. We had scrumbled eggs in a pumpking toast and haloumi pita. Both amazing. #code21 #greatmocha
We had visited Code 21 a few weeks back and here’s what we had!
Spiced hotcakes - served with acai ice cream, matcha foam, yuzu curd, maple crystallized cashew nuts, shaved strawberries and crispy meringue! All I gotta say is wow for preso and taste! The hotcakes were thick and fluffy and it was spicy as they had described (not overly spicy)! It was interesting having a sweet and spicy hotcake but what made it work was the rest of the elements which had sweetened things up!
Crispy southern fried chicken waffles - served with chipotle slaw and cranberry bbq sauce! The reason why this was my favorite was how beautiful it tasted! The fried chicken was crispy and juicy, the waffles were soft and crispy and that cranberry bbq sauce was such a wonderful topping! The tanginess and saltiness of the sauce just gave the dish and extra kick!
French toast - served with strawberry ice cream, fairy floss and raspberries! This was the special of the day and all I gotta say is wow! The french toast was thick, crunchy, fluffy and moist inside! Everything you could have ever asked for all on one dish!
We were really pleased with the experience we had and would definitely visit Code 21 again to try the rest of their menu! 🥰

Huss and all the staff members were very welcoming. The food was a 10/10, could not fault anything! The hot chocolate and chai latte were both so tasty and went down so well! Definitely recommend this place!
Lovely place with great service, food and coffee. Quirky wall decor and clean. We had the diced avacado on pumpkin toast and the hot cakes. You really couldn’t fault it between the service and food. This would have to be my favourite avacado breakfast for sure - the pumpkin toast was really good. The hot cakes were done well and so creative. Overall very happy and will most definitely return.
