Warm morning light inside Sweet Evelyn Cafe with coffee on the table

Brunswick, Melbourne

A place where every cup
feels like coming home.

All-day breakfast, specialty coffee, house-made sweets, and dinner from Thursday to Saturday. Dogs always welcome at 128 Union Street.

Dog Friendly

Neighbourhood kitchen. Creative meeting place.

Sweet Evelyn Cafe sits at the heart of Union Street, Brunswick. It is the kind of place where baristas know your order, dogs nap under chairs, and a quiet coffee can turn into a two-hour conversation.

Whether you come in alone with a notebook or arrive with a whole crew, there is always a table and something freshly baked waiting for you.

Thursday to Saturday

Dinner, done properly.

The neighbourhood café by day becomes something a little more special by evening. Pull up a chair for house-made gnocchi, golden chicken parmigiana, and good company. No fuss, just great food.

From the micro-bakery

Made here, every morning.

Every sweet on the counter was baked in-house before the doors opened. Recipes evolve with the seasons. Some sell out by noon. Come early, or be surprised by whatever is left.

The bakery is the heart of the café: the smell alone is worth the walk down Union Street.

The Sweet Evelyn way

More than a café. A corner of Brunswick worth calling yours.

Sweet Evelyn is a place where friendships form over flat whites and strangers become regulars. Where you can open a laptop, spread out a sketchbook, or just sit and watch Union Street hum.

Four-legged friends are as welcome as two-legged ones. Pull up a chair.
