About Brother Chris

On Deakin Avenue, Brother Chris brings Melbourne-grade brunch energy inland with serious specialty coffee and an inventive, boundary-pushing kitchen. Expect Padre roasts pulled with dialed-in precision alongside plates that stray far from regional cafe cliches. Morning regulars lean toward sweet potato breakfast gnocchi tossed with chorizo and bacon, crisp fried chicken atop honey-glazed waffles, or rich crab scramble. Spacious seating runs right through to Hue’s Room in the back, while the front room hums with thick brioche French toast stacked high with berries.

  • Padre Coffee Brews: Pours specialty beans sourced directly from Melbourne's Padre Coffee.
  • Inventive Brunch Menu: Serves imaginative breakfast plates like sweet potato breakfast gnocchi, crab scramble, and hot honey fried chicken waffles.
  • Dedicated Group Space: Features Hue's Room in the back, offering a quieter private zone for gatherings and group meals.

  • Inventive Brunch Creations

    The kitchen serves chef-driven morning creations like sweet potato breakfast gnocchi, honey fried chicken waffles, and crab scramble.

    The brunch menu is so fresh/innovative as in not the same overdone breakfast menu items found in every cafe.

  • Dedicated Group Space in Hue's Room

    Hue's Room provides a quiet, dedicated, and climate-controlled separate space suited for relaxed group meetups and gatherings.

    My group enjoyed a very relaxing get together on one of the hottest days this March (2024) in the newly opened Hue’s Room. It was very comfortable, quiet and private even though there were other groups sharing the area.
