The Premises ️Melbourne’s Hidden Gem Absolutely loved my visit to The Premises in Melbourne! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly cool. The space is cozy yet lively, perfect for brunch dates, solo coffee time, or catching up with friends. I tried their brunch menu and everything was spot on! The eggs were cooked to perfection, the sourdough was beautifully crisp, and the flavours just danced together on the plate . You can really tell they care about ingredients and presentation. Their coffee? Next level. Bold, smooth, and honestly one of the best cups I’ve had in Melbourne. Baristas here know their craft and serve it with a smile Service was friendly and fast, it feels like one of those rare places that gets everything just right. The attention to detail, the chilled-out atmosphere, and of course, the amazing food make it a must-visit Whether you’re a local or visiting Melbourne, The Premises deserves a spot on your foodie list.

Staying just down the road I went in search of coffee. 2 shops close to each other. One was flat out so I decided to go to the quieter one. Fruits of passion. Ended up being the best choice as the next day I went to the other one. Fruits of passion tasted way better and was cheaper. Great coffee.

The Premises is in trendy Belair Street, opposite the railway station. The food is adventurous and the coffee is more than adequate. The decor is industrial chic, which is popular in Melbourne's inner suburbs. It's worth dropping in if you are in the area.
