About 9grams

This Pakington Street hub nails Melbourne-grade espresso alongside a daytime menu packed with bold Middle Eastern twists. Regulars crowd the tables for skillet-baked shakshuka and searing chilli eggs, washed down with velvety flat whites or a chilled date shake. Multi-generational groups breeze through tricky orders and stroller tangles with zero friction, backed by staff who remember names and keep the coffee flowing well into the late afternoon.

  • Middle Eastern brunch flair: Skillet-baked shakshuka and spiced chilli eggs offer a distinct departure from standard breakfast plates.
  • Stress-free family tables: Staff comfortably manage custom requests, kid orders, and family crowds without missing a beat.
  • Late afternoon service: Stays open and serves fresh food and espresso long after surrounding cafes close their doors for the day.
