I discovered this cafe on Groupon before realising it was a 10 minute walk from my house. I was warmly greeted by the waiter/barista who made me a great soy flat white and chatted to me about how tricky it is to make one without the milk splitting. He also accomdated my request to swap the toast on the big veg brekkie for arepas, one of my favourite carbs. The meal itself left a little to be desired. I wish it had some cracked pepper, and the veg were too oily for my liking. I also realised after the fact that the chef forgot the beans, which probably would've added the flavour the dish was lacking. I didn't really need them considering how full I was after that meal, but still a bit disappointed I missed out. I also think a cheese arepa would've been better with the dish, but I was given a plain one.
Despite these concerns, I can't fault Buenos Dias too much. As a Latin person, I'm constantly seeking new Latin restaurants in Melb. They're hard to come by here and I want to support any that exist. Secondly, the staff were super friendly here which also encourages me to give them the benefit of the doubt. I believe this cafe is still pretty new, and they're only open Fridays and weekends. Hopefully with a few tweaks and some more recognition, they can thrive.
Friendly staff and a really nice feel to the place. The menu has enough on offer but not so much you're overwhelmed. Both our dishes were great. The salsa verde was the bomb.
This place is great in that it offers a bit of variation from the standard 'brunch' menu, and it was nice to see some of my favourite South American foods on the menu. I enjoyed my meal (Heuvos Pericos) but it could have done with a bit more flavour. My friend said her food was really good. Coffee was terrific.
The service also let the side down a bit - the staff were friendly but forgot my order.
The ambiance was nice and overall we enjoyed ourselves.
Eat, Drink, Listen, Unwind ...

Come visit such a beautiful place, full of fresh exotic juices like Soursop or Passion Fruit, tasty South American fusion brunches and awesome coffee. 🙌🏼🍴☕️🥑🍳🌶
Come here with all friends of yours, it'll be amazing!💥 @HungryMate #HungryMate
Lovely little cafe in the midst of a busy city. Beautiful artwork on the walls and amazing food to experience from another country! Definitely recommend.
Huevos Pericos is an absolutely magnificent breakfast dish. Scrambled eggs like you'll find no where else!
Coffee and hospitality are noteworthy.
Loved everything, the coffee, the arepas and the passionfruit juice 😊.
If you want to try something different than smashed avo on sourdough, come and try the arepas 😊
Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu!
Excellent Calentao Rolo, Cacao Mole Chicken Quesadillas and Platano Asado.
Cosy and relaxed decor, friendly staff, nice courtyard at the back.
Highly recommend catching a 96 tram from the city to experience some delicious Latin American cuisine in Carlton.
Buenos dias buena comida! Haha. Okay so I Google Translated that, have forgotten what little Spanish I’d learnt. 🤣
Buenos dias know how to host and feed their guests!! ! Beautiful cafe in Carlton North, wonderful outdoor seating for this amazing summer, and truly delicious fare and exotic juices.
Destined to be a true local in these premises! They even have Inca Kola for those who want to reminisce about South American travel days. 💙
Enjoyed a wonderful brunch here with friends on a Saturday morning. The food is fresh and tasty and the service is super friendly - highly recommend this great spot. My only regret was being so full from brunch that I was unable to partake in one of the amazing treats on display. The muffins came out of the oven while we were there and the amazing scent that filled the cafe literally paused our conversation. Looking forward to my next visit.
Excellent coffee and food!!! The Huevos Pericos con arepa and the Plátano maduro con bocadillo y queso are great!!!! All dishes are beautifully served and the natural juice size is generous. They also serve tamales in special days. I have to go back and try the Calentao amd the rest of he menu. 🖤
Perfect for a brunch inspired by Latin American cuisine. Amazing food, friendly staff and nice environment. Highly recommended.
AMAZING breakfast, good prices/portions and lovely staff. I'll definitely be back.
Delish authentic food and drinks. Make sure you try their homemade sauce! Will definitely be back.
Amazing place!
The staff is super friendly and the place has good coffee and delicious food. Also, the menu really stands out as it turns South American classics in great Australian brunch meals.
Staff were super lovely and the menu offers a great range of Latin American flavours. Food delivered on taste, and leave room for alfajores 😍
