On a busy street of Richmond, Roam was a great find for an afternoon coffee and some senstional cakes. In amongst an office building, Roam is a vast space with lots of natural light, plenty of great seating and some awesome neon signs. The vibe is cool and comfortable.
We ordered some coffee and cake, and everything was great. The coffee was really good, and it arrived promptly. The cakes were generous serves, fresh and tasty. Service was friendly and we felt quite relaxed in this lovely space. We would happily return to try food from the brunch menu, which also looked really good.
A pleasant experience.
Coffee was good. Service was great. Food was as expected of a good quality cafe. Portions were generous enough. Pricing was fair. Space was nice and suitable for group meets.
Worthwhile if local.

Arriving at Roam on a weekend afternoon, I was surprised that there was only two other occupied tables. Alarm bells started ringing in my head but I persisted with my decision. For this I was rewarded with an enjoyable meal, and delightful service.
My partner's skinny latte was very good, and very easy to drink, and so was my iced coffee.
I ordered the Polenta Breaky and this was quite the light and healthy dish. The polenta was a beautiful golden brown, crisped on the outside and soft inside. A bit under-seasoned in itself, but when combined with the rest of the ingredients on the dish, problem solved!
My partner's Big Breaky was fantastic. The potatoes and Brie croquette was super cheesy and very moreish. Both the mushrooms and chorizo delivered on flavours, plus the scrambled eggs was so creamy and buttery. We were told by a friendly staff that they chose to use rindless bacon, which was less fatty. As such the bacon was more similar to a bacon jerky, one that was rich in flavour but also addictively crispy.
We took away a chicken and avocado wrap for a friend, and she demolished it in a flash so that's a thumb up from her too.
It was indeed a satisfying meal, and EatClub made it a very affordable meal.
This was a lunch out spot for me using a eat club voucher I had. There's ample seating area in the area which makes it ideal for a lunch out or an informal official meal. I was here mainly to try out their chicken salad which has raised a few eyebrows.
Unfortunately they only had a limited menu as theyve apparently had a shocking day. So I chose their chicken avacodo wrap and a muesli. The guy infront was extremely nice to me and it was so pleasing after being disappointed with their menu option.
The wrap was such a filling meal wjth the goodness of creamy chicken, avacado and greens. This finished off with the nutty nutritious muesli was very good. Not the most fresh products, but I'm guessing that their original menu would've been nice. Recommended!
Great place to go when you want somewhere more quiet than the other places on bridge rd. Spacious. Great for big groups and has a dog friendly outdoor area! Big fan of the Bolognese toast!
Friendly staffs, spacious and comfortable, plenty of parking around, good food and coffee, will definitely come back in the future to try other items on the menu :)
What a fabulous cafe for breakky, brunch or lunch in Richmond. We started off with coffees the had the mighty beef burger with a generous serving of fries. The roast lamb salad was super tasty with its balsamic dressing. My favourite meal was the Roman fried eggs served with delicious prosciutto, truffle paste, labne on sourdough. Everything in this cafe has been thought about. The deco is on trend with its neon signs, staff are fantastic, they serve St Ali coffee and food is so good.

I was hungry like a wolf today so called into Roam cafe for an early morning bite ahead of work. Being part of a fairly modern apartment building this cafes dimensions were quite large, but it didn’t feel cavernous at all due to well thought out internals breaking up the space. We sat at one of many share tables at the front of the cafe while classic David Bowie played to ease us into the day.
We were offered coffees to start with (St Ali) and observed other customers doing the same. Staff were very good at knowing the regulars coffee orders which is bound to please. After our coffees arrived we then preceded to order some of the hearty dishes from the breakfast and lunch menus.
We ordered the Calamari from the lunch section and OMG, this is one of the better calamari dishes out there, the baby squid rings where tender, in a super tasty batter and paired perfectly with roquette and balsamic mayonnaise.
Next up we tried the Polenta Breaky which was a nice bonus being gluten free. It came with super crunchy cheesy polenta which was perfect for soaking up the yolk of the poached eggs. This dish is kept fresh with the freshly picked basil leaves, cherry tomatoes, perfectly sliced avocado and drops of balsamic. I loved this dish, no toast in sight yet a super satisfying breakfast from the great flavours to the generous portion size.
We also ordered the Breakfast Green salad, a delightful mix of spinach, charred asparagus, broccoli, cherry tomato, pecorino, caramelised onion and kept fresh with some lemon tang. It also had a lovely crunch from sweet potato crisps, while the poached egg and added smoked salmon made for a super filling meal. The additional upgrade to include salmon is well recommended.
Accompanying our meals I also ordered a mixed juice blend which was sweet and had celery, carrots and other yummy items.
My favourite of the three dishes we tried today was the Polenta because I’ve had such bad Polenta dishes at other places and I now know how good it can be. Overall I was surprised at how generous the serves were with all of these dishes
I hear Roam soon plan to launch a Parma Night on a Friday night, which should get peoples attention. Every other parma night I know of in Richmond occurs on the quieter Monday thru Wednesday evening, so a Friday night option is sure to be welcomed.
A big thank you to David and the team for your hospitality.
Open, baby and pram friendly with a warm vibe, roam is a gorgeous cafe with a venue that isn’t just your typical breakky stuff. Serving up st Ali coffee, we really enjoyed our visit to Roam today! The Nepalese egg white crepe with smoked salmon, avocado and Labane was delicious and a refreshing change from your typical “avo smash, baked eggs kind of menu”. The bolognaise poached eggs were also great! The service is friendly, the food is great and they’re super accommodating!
Funky cafe in Richmond, great coffee. Lots of space & wicked decor.
Food was really good food.
Service was attentive.
I’d go back for the coffee.
Got here for a late lunch so the kitchen was closed. Had a toasted sandwich which was delicious. Palace was fairly empty I had the pick of seating. Great atmosphere even without people inside and the coffee is great. Nice place to come after a workout and hang out for breakfast or lunch. Very friendly staff. #BeatTheGrind
We had a delicious brunch at Roam cafe. We started off with coffees while looking at the menus. We decided on the mighty beef burger with a generous serving of fries. The roast lamb salad was super tasty with its balsamic dressing. My favourite meal was the Roman fried eggs served with delicious prosciutto, truffle paste, labne on sourdough. Everything in this cafe has been thought about. The deco is on trend with its neon signs, staff are fantastic, they serve St Ali coffee and food is so good.
Friendly service, very good coffee, well trained barista! Food is fresh, burger was moist, cheese cake yummy. Great modern clean place to catch up with friends.
BEST EGGS BENEDICT I’VE EVER HAD, HANDS DOWN!
I wish I had remembered to take a picture before I started eating, but I almost couldn’t stop once I started! I don’t know what they put in their hollandaise sauce here, but it the BEST I’ve ever had! The English muffin was toasted perfectly, the eggs were poached just right, even the hash browns I ordered on the side were just the right amount of crispy!
I also had an apple, carrot, and ginger juice and I cannot recommend that enough! Will absolutely be coming here again!
Located near from chapel, the amazing cafe. They have great selection of food in the menu. I loved the service here. The staff here were super friendly. I like it when the gave my kid a a paper and coloring pens. The seating inside are great and well organized. I do recommend this place
Very good coffee. The staff is charming, always looking to see if everything is good and we didn't have to wait long to have our food. For any Belgians reading this, I had the waffles and these were the closest from our Liegeoises waffles. Would definitely recommend trying them out. The other food were very good too.
Delicious food and plenty of options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike! The egg & toast portion was generous to say the least (2 slices of bread and a LOT of egg) - it was delicious but unfortunately we weren't able to finish it! The polenta and poached eggs were interesting and the whole meal was filling overall 😊
•Coffee is good
•Staff are friendly
•Interior is nice
Delicious coffee - beans from St Ali cafe, so you won’t be disappointed. Steak sandwich is great - a bit pricey for the breakfast menu in Melbourne but that’s the only negative really.
