One of the few bakeries which open really early. So many fantastic options even though it just opened! I love the sausage rolls and Nutella Cronut the most. Coffee wasn’t as great as other standalone coffee places but the pastries were pretty fresh and delicious.

Loves the gnocchi, cafe is great too and they have a big range of sweets like little cakes and cookies (I’m a big sweetheart)
Great stuff
Amazing atmosphere
Always pumping
Omg!!!!!! Man omg!!! That was the best egg in my life, what a shame that I didn't try that dish beforeeee, I'm going to cry
Neds is a fantastic breakfast/brunch spot in South Yarra. They have a huge selection of baked goodies to eat in or take away. Coffee is good, service is super friendly and it has a happy vibe to it all. I dare to you to step inside and not go home with a box full of treats.
Go for the bread.
Be prepared to wait for a table as this place is in high demand for a city that loves brunch. I enjoyed some poached eggs on their beautiful bread and I would come here just to eat their bread! I did have food envy of my friend's frittata and will definitely be ordering that when I am in next. Quick service and lots of yummy baked treats to tempt you on your way out.
Will come back for:
+ Apricot pastry
Stumbled across this place whilst on the way to a meeting and needing a coffee. The displays of pastry though not extensive looked great and certainly did not disappoint. I had the apricot pastry and it was great. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and well balanced with the sweet and tart apricot. This went really well with my coffee. Will definitely be back to try out some of the other bake offerings.
Certainly, while DATS is the barista here:
There's nothing better than a "perfect fix" in the morning, right?
Then, honestly here's where to get serious coffee in South Yarra, if not of all Victoria.
As I'm pleased to say I visit almost every morning despite how far I travel.
Because unlike so many other coffee shops around/popping up everywhere.
With these coffee beans, ideal temperature applied, experience, the attentive service, result here is superb.
With his team that are always helpful and gracious.
Believe me it's the best shot for the serious coffee nerd.

I will not beat around - this is a terrific place. Some excellent planning went into space utilisation and food options. It’s a busy place with an eclectic crowd. The atmosphere is relaxed as is the style. Somehow the show ponies have not managed to overtake the place, they are there but are not setting the style. Young and older business heavyweights (both male & female) are sitting next to smart young mothers with pushers, sharing space alongside active retirees with some of the best presented 20 to 40 Yo’s in town.
But the food?
It’s exciting and appropriate to an International French Cafe style. I do brunch there about 3 or 4 times weekly, always the same. Poached eggs with bacon on sourdough toast, tomatoe sauce on the side. Bit pedestrian? Not! I am an expert on this dish and know all the spots and all the styles. Ned’s is so far ahead of the crowd it’s no contest. I think it’s the house sourdough toast which infuses the whole dish that does it, however the eggs are well sized and cooked to perfection. The warm plates help too. Don’t worry, I get at the pastries and coffee too. They are sublime.
Cafe eating, meeting and cruisin’ in South Yarra & Toorak - this is it for mine.

A very very busy restaurant filled with all wonderful things , love the ambience and love the food ,but service was kinda Ok!. Been there for a Sunday brunch ,was crowed but found the place pretty soon. Tried SOUFFLÉ and salmon frittata. Both were really tasty and have tried some of the sandwich to go there were just delicious and the coffee was just amazing . Would recommend for a yummy brunch and some coffee

I walked past Ned’s heading towards my lunch spot and was tempted. I stopped at Ned’s walking back to the car, and the family and I sat cozily on the busy street and devoured our spot of afternoon tea. Two coffees, a babycino, my vanilla slice and a vegan brownie for Mrs B totalled $21, so I estimated the fancy Mille-feuille slice to be somewhere in the $6/7 bracket. Pricey yes, but a high end Patisserie in a swanky neighbourhood normally command this price tag. That’s not to say that you always get value for money, but this time I most certainly did.

📝: Ned’s bake is the place to go to when you’re looking for fresh loaves or bakeries. There’s a selection of 15 different French and Italian-style loaves, as well as a large and colourful display of pastries, tarts, buns and savoury items .
❤️: Words cannot explain my love for their World Donut Day special last weekend, the Caramel Custard and Pistachio Donut. So good!! Creamy filling and a nutty pistachio topping 😍. The Salted Caramel Kouign Amann with dulce de leche filling was also SO GOOD 🥰—can I have more please 😂!!!
Great atmosphere, staff were lovely and great food all around. Would definitely come back here again when we are in the area.
Many selection of bread and pastries
Coffee is not bad. Food is decent. It is worth going back to try other items. Went there during Christmas and they were selling some xmas specials, worth visiting.
Good place for breakfast as it opens early compared to other breakfast places, however coffee was served cold on a cold morning.
Ned’s Bake Cafe is an exceptional venue to visit on your trip to Melbourne or for your daily pastry & coffee run if you are a local. If you have the opportunity to meet the owner on your visit, you will be met with someone who treats you like family or a close friend not just another patron. He is engaging & appreciates every customer he meets with. The food is fresh & has amazing flavour. I have a new found love for this place & will definitely go out of my way to return when I travel to Melbourne in the future.
