About Briki cafe

Steps from Thornbury Station, Briki cafe delivers dialed-in coffee, house-baked vegan pies, and curbside treats for neighborhood pups. The Hutton Street perch bypasses main-strip noise in favor of a relaxed neighborhood rhythm. Commuters order flat whites straight through the takeaway window alongside the signature Briki roll, while regulars linger at sidewalk tables over slices of plant-based korma pie or hummingbird cake.

  • Station-Side Walk-Up Window: Tucked right beside Thornbury Station with dedicated walk-up window ordering for quick commuter espressos and dog treats.
  • Dedicated Vegan Savory & Sweet Range: Extensive plant-based baking featuring savory korma and nistisimo pies alongside vegan hummingbird cake.
  • Relaxed Neighborhood Perch: A quiet Hutton Street sidewalk setting removed from the main strip, welcoming neighborhood dogs and morning catch-ups.

  • Walk-Up Pet Window Experience

    A convenient street-facing window lets pet owners order swiftly without stepping inside, complete with treats for four-legged companions.

    Coffee from the window means we can stop by on our walk and the girls get treats!!

  • Bustling Neighborhood Sidewalk Hub

    Tucked off the busy thoroughfare, the cafe brings neighbors together to catch up across vibrant weekend sidewalk seating.

    On Saturday’s there is a great buzz with customers filling the sidewalk with their coffees and catching up with friends and family.
