One of my top brunch places in CBD. They have such a cozy spot, where you can choose to sit in their more intimate space inside the cafe or to watch the crowds outside. Love how delicious and pretty their dishes are, top recommendation will be the burger! Canโt wait to be back after ISO โจ
It feels like Billy's cafes are popping up everywhere, but I'm not going to complain; because as far as chain cafes go, I actually think they are really good. They feel less generic than standard chains, and have a more comfortable and friendly feel. This particular cafe is conveniently located in Melbourne Central, so is a great spot for a coffee stop. They do have a full menu, but I find their pastries display to be so attractive that I usually just have coffee and cake.
Popping in on the week of Valentine's Day, the display had suitably love themed treats available, so we had a hear cookie, heart topped cupcake, and the lemon polenta cake. All the treats were delicious, and the cakes were so fresh and moist. Our coffee was also great, and the service is friendly and quick.
In such a busy location, the team at Billy's Central are doing a great job caffeinating shoppers and local workers. It's definitely not a difficult choice to stop here for a coffee break.
A nice place to sit and relax and have a coffee. I ordered the ice coffee. It was $6.50 and came in a takeaway plastic cup. There was a generous amount of ice cream in it and the coffee was aromatic. The coffee to milk ratio was perfect.
Been here a couple of times and still like it. Food tastes great, everything feels really fresh. This time I ordered pulled pork rolls and itโs defo a great choice. The veggie are fresh, bread is soft, the pork is tasty and eggs are cooked perfectly. What I love most is the sauce, all together is amazing and the portion is huge as well. Staffs here are really friendly and professional.
Billy's Central is one of my go to coffee spots in Melbourne Central. They get the coffee just right and it gets made quickly. I've also tried their cabinet food, I think it was the banana bread, which was nice.
The brunch menu looks great - will have to check it out next time.
Very good food and convenience location. Staff are very friendly. Definitely will visit again.
In recent years Billy's Central has popped up all over the state in various shopping centres kinda like The Coffee Club. The menu mimics the latest brunch trends offering hotcakes, french toasts, smashed avos with almost identical presentation, however the quality for each branch varies. I saw the French Toast in their instagram and just had to try it.

My Rating: 4.5
A quick lunch catch up with an ex-colleague in an easy to find, located indoors cafe is Billy's Lounge. That particular day it was raining so it was perfect to pick this place. The great thing is that they allow for table reservations which was easily done via Zomato.
๐LOCATION๐
Billy's Lounge is situated within Melbourne Central on Level 2, right next to the overpass bridge.ย
There is seating outside which faces the overpass bridge but it can get quite busy with many pedeastrians walking through. There is also seating inside the cafe, with table seating on both sides of the wall and in the middle is a long high table with high chairs which are suitable for solo or 2 people dining. I opt to sit inside towards to the back to avoid too much noise and people passing through.ย
๐SERVICE๐
Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful. Provided us menu and water very promptly. Took our order very swiftly and within 15 minutes both our meals arrived on our tables.
๐MENU/PRICE๐ย
We ordered:ย
Aloha! Loco Moco, $22.00
(Grilled beef burger patty on bed of mixed grains with mushroom gravy and fried egg, served with blanched asparagus, grilled pineapple, squash, carrot, drizzled with truffle oil and crushed macadamia)
Portabello Mushroom Burger, $19.50
(Capsicum pesto, smashed avocado, roquette salad, grilled halloumi cheese in black bun served with beer-battered chips)
๐VERDICT๐
The Aloha! Loco Moco is from their Specials Menu and it was absolutely delicious. At first I thought the serving looked rather small but actually I discovered it was perfect portion. Only minor thing is there needs to be some kind of sauce, I felt that the dish was a little on the dry side without any sauce. If there was a small dish of the mushroom gravy on the side, I think it would have been perfect. The beef patty was grilled perfectly and the combination of grilled pineapple (sweet) and mixed vegetables of asparagus, squash and carrot was great. The slight taste of the mushroom gravy in the mixed grains was nice as it kept the grains moist.
My ex-colleague loved her Mushroom Burger. The portabello mushroom was quite big. The avocado and capsicum pesto was delicious, giving it good flavour to the burger as well as the halloumi cheese. Overall a stand out dish.
Everything on this plate is my favorite! And next time I wanna try other dishes~
Service was fantastic - friendly but not hovering!!! Definitely recommend and will be on our list of places to visit when in Melbourne.
Wow I never knew that there was such a amazing cafe over in Melbourne central until today.
.
Ordered the American dinner style breakfast . Portions were huge and I ordered add on such as the crispy fried chicken.
So juicy and the pancakes were so fluffy. Eggs could be done the way you prefer
.
Had the other dish of the day : the chicken waffle . So good . Love the beautifully fried crispy chicken together with the egg waffles .
Drizzled with maple syrup that was heaven.
Also got in house brewed iced coffee with ice cream and it was so good and it gave me the caffeine to continue shopping !
.
I would come back again for this amazing brunch experience
This is my second time eating at this cafe. They have a new menu, and great to see that the dishes are so tempting as usual! Itโs hard to decide what we should have.
Presentation and taste are excellent, and service is great too. Would recommend you try out this place for brunch the next time you are in Melbourne Central.
Would be great if the tea is served with tea leaves instead of tea bag.
I can see why Billy's was so busy on my Sunday morning brunch, this is such a great cafe!
A very good menu, we had 3 different dishes that all tasted amazing. The coffee was on point and the presentation of everything was beautiful.
The ingredients were all fresh and really good quality, I would definitely come back to visit.

Now here is a place that puts up a fantastic brunch menu. The menu has something for everyone. The best thing is this place is conveniently located in Melbourne Central @melbournecentral so you can satisfy your shopping appetite after a big brunch! ๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ช๐ ๐ - two perfectly poached eggs in a spiced tomato and capsicum sugo with crumbled feta and drizzled with pesto. It is just heavenly dipping your toasted turkish bread in this rich and comforting sauce.
๐๐๐ช๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐๐ค๐ฉ๐ฉ๐- served with house made granola, orange coyo and mixed berries. Excellent presentation and the granola contrasts nicely with the custard pannacotta. The berries also adds a freshness to each bite.

Love the ambience of this place. Has indoor and outdoor seating and the owner James was super nice. Highly recommended! ๐๐๐๐
A nice and hidden place for weekday brunch. Chicken waffle and chilli scramble are both delicious. I love they used the green chilies instead of red ones. Definitely could enjoy your meal in the heart of CBD.

@billyscentral is where you need to be this weekend for a sumptuous brunch feast. Located inside @melbournecentral this cafe specialises in great quality coffee, breakfast and brunch dishes, both sweet and savoury, and smoothies.
Everything on the menu is truly extraordinary, different and is packed with so many lovely flavours.
What we had here:
Tiramisu hotcakes, oh my this was absolutely indulgent, decadent and very irresistible, loved the fact that it wasnโt too sweet or intense with flavours but perfectly balanced for a yummy morning breakfast. Must try
Billy Bowl, start your morning with something fresh and healthy by ordering this dish with field mushrooms, so many elements put together in a tasty way. Definitely a must try!
Chicken waffle, if itโs your cheat day of the week, then must order this delicious bubble waffle, with bacon, eggs, fried chicken, Asian herbs, mayo, sesame seeds and maple syrup. Loved it.
We also had a green smoothie, super filling and will keep you full for a very long time.
And matcha latte and a regular latte, Iโm definitely coming back for the matcha one, since it was made in the right way.
Moreover, the prices are all very reasonable, compared to the best quality breakfast and brunch dishes they serve here. The service is friendly and quick and the team of staff and manager are all very lovely, attentive and kind humans.
Itโs located inside a shopping Centerโs green oasis on the skybridge between @emporiummelbourne and @melbournecentral so you can expect only good vibes here.
Highly recommend this cafe @billyscentral to all my foodie friends.
Having walked past this cafe for years in MC, I finally gave it a try and it did not disappoint. They have some classic brunch dishes, as well a cool unique twist on a chicken waffle by doing it on crispy HK egg bubble waffles! The serving portion for the shakshuka was also very generous - not enough bread to soak it all up! My favourite was the panna cotta with a very rich and creamy vanilla flavour.
Perfect location, great portions and delicious food. Highly recommend stopping by if you want a quick bite without the hustle and bustle of the typical brunch cafes.
