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 ...
Friday's brunch, great advice ...
Eat good food
Drink good coffee
Listen to some vibe ... Latino music
Unwind, ready for the weekend ... C E L E B R A T E life ...
Thank you Buenos Dias for reminding us of what's life is all about .... JT-13/04/2018.

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. 💙
Buenos dias in Carlton North is the brainchild of three Latin Americans with a passion for food, coffee and the vibrant Latino culture. ¡Buenos días! means 'good morning’ and is a common and happy phrase used across Latin America where children grow up being taught to say good morning to all they meet or simply pass along the street.

Buenos Dias Cafe is a welcome addition to the ever growing Melbourne cafe scene. By going back to their roots, owners Nicolas Aristizabal, Sebastian Jimenez and Head Chef Andres Bejarano have brought to life a fun and welcoming slice of Latin American culture to the heart of Carlton North.
We love this place. Great coffee, awesome food, unpretentious staff and low key vibe. Lots of work has gone into each plate and its so nice to see, given I find most breakfast places just are not worth the price... this place is the complete exception! Please don't change!
Colombian cuisine served with a smile. Popped in here on a sunny weekend, enjoyed lazing in the
well set out outdoor seating area.
Everything here is home made with ingredients imported from South America.
The wait staff starts off (with a huge smile) explaining their favourites and items off the menu.
We opted for freshly squeezed juices (served with either milk or water), and the pulled pork special.
Finished off with their biscuits (I can't remember what they were called, but an excellent recommendation from Their staff
Nutella (white) and Dulce De Leche (brown).
Will I go back : yes
Reminder to self: take a photo of the menu next time
Delicious and authentic South American food, and great service. Coffee, house made chorizo, calentado and alfajores! Yum! Highly recommend it!
Great food and great service. Food is reasonably Priced. The calentado and chorizo are stand Out. The alfahores are amazing as well. Reccomend to all.
Wow, an amazing Latin cafe in Carlton North. So glad I came across the place, food and coffee were spectacular! A must try, I'll be back very soon!

Buenos Dias! We could all do with a cheerful greeting every morning. What better way to start the day than with a good breakfast too? The three owners of the newly opened Buenos Dias are passionate about sharing the food and coffee of their home countries with us. On the menu they’ve chosen to feature dishes from a variety of Latin American cuisines, the
Buenos Dias is a Latin American café in Carlton. If you’re looking for a different style of brunch, with a bit more Latin American flavour, this ones for you. They make a their own chorizo, sauces, salsas and dulce de leche caramel in-house which keeps the flavours authentic. At Buenos Dias you can still have your smashed avo or your poached eggs with salmon, but with a wonderful Latin American twist.
Thankful for social media or I would of never found out about this place. This cafe is a breath of fresh air to Melb cafe scene! Go here if you want hearty flavoursome food without the pretentious vibe you might get at some places! The staff are lovely so welcoming and service is prompt! I hope more Latin American food options get added onto the menu. That the standard stayed up there. Look forward to returning ✌️
Fantastic addition to the Melbourne brunch scene. A South American twist to the brunch fare which only add more depth colour and variety to the scene. Sous vide eggs were precious. Flavour twists to typical dishes just makes the menu nice and interesting. Still a work in progress but this new kid on the block is off to a good start with passionate owner and very attentive staff.
Such a warm and inviting atmosphere with a unique and delicious offering of foods that Melbourne sometimes lacks. Particularly love the freshness and homemade taste of everything, juices especially!
Had to check out the dog friendly outdoor area; it's perfect. The food itself is incredible, and they even made some puppicinos for my sausage dogs. Thanks heaps to the staff - definitely one of the best kept secrets in Melbourne right now.
This place does bring us to South America. The lively ambience, the friendly and bubbly staffs, the strong Huila blend coffee and the authentic SA food. Really enjoyed the experience. Come here if you want a slightly different brunch place. It surely will give you a different start of the day.
Takes me back to South America.
Great food, great service.
The coffee is amazing and the owner Nicholas makes you feel like you are sitting in the heart of Colombia enjoying their amazing food and hospitality.
Great atmosphere and the staff are so lovely and friendly! Has turned into my local coffee shop, can't wait to come down and try more on the menu!

Outstanding food. Loved it !! Reminded me so much of my country 🇨🇴.
Ingredients are fresh, atmosphere is nice.
I ordered the Calentao Rolo. So worth it. I swear it feels like home. Such an authentic spot for those who love Latin American cuisine and those who want to explore it. It has a bit of everything. 🇦🇷🇨🇴🇧🇷🇨🇱
Found this hidden gem recently - a true asset to Melbourne's thriving brunch scene. A lot of unique and delicious menu options that you don't find anywhere else due to the South American influence. the slow cooked beef is one of my favorites. Oh and perfect "Melbourne" coffee too. will visit again.

Great place to have the perfect coffee pair with delicious food. Buenos Dias, is the perfect place to enjoy food that combines Latin flavors with Aussie style. The scrambled eggs with arepa and the alfajores are my favorites, the best I have tried so far. This place offers great service without a doubt, great option for Sunday's brunch.
Highly recommend it !!
Love this place.The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We especially enjoyed the huevos pericos with arepa, everything was great (even took photos so we could try to replicate at home). I have to say that the food was fresh, properly prepared and a great value for the price. We highly recommend it.
An excellent way to run away to South America without leaving Melbourne. The beautiful and well exchecuted menu will take you with one bite to Peru, Argentina, Colombia and more. Lots of flavors and colors in your plate, just the way that it should be. Buenos Dias has a great enviroment, friendly staff and a GREAT COFFEE. I'll come back to try another dish in you menu!
Amazing coffee, out of this world food and wonderful service! I especially love the Ropa Vieja and the mora juice. The something sweet options are also so delicious!!! The best lemon curd profiteroles!They also have a wonderful court yard which will be lovely when it gets warmer! 10/10!!
I've found my new brunch spot! Buenos días has a great atmosphere, friendly service and high quality food. The arepas are made from scratch and brought a tear of joy to my eye - check them out. The juices...mmm...the cakes...mmm...I could go on...
Highly recommend this cafe for its fantastic, satisfying food and soul warming coffee. The owners are very friendly in helping you decide on which of their favourite dishes to try from all around South America.
Best Latin food in town.
I had the opportunity to go to this place . WOW! The food is so authentic and more than authentic delicious . Affordable and so pretty in presentation. GIVE IT A TRY!! Is worth it !
My boyfriend ordered the alfajores with a latte and I had the leche asada!!!!!! blow-minding!
La mejor comida latina en la ciudad.
Tuve la oportunidad de ir a este lugar. ¡GUAUU! La comida es súper auténtica me sentí muy n casa. Asequible y la presentación es ARTE. ¡¡DALE UNA OPORTUNIDAD!! Vale la pena !
Mi novio pidió los alfajores con un latte y yo la leche asada !!!!!! Blow-minding
Great cafe with an authentic Latin America flavour, recently open but owners and staff make You feel at home since the moment you step in. It has quite a selection of handpicked food and drinks and with no doubt, one of the best coffee in Melbourne. Will definitely come back!
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 😍
