About Chichi House Cafe

Perched opposite Hughesdale station, this unassuming suburban haunt swaps tired brunch routines for vibrant Indonesian comfort. The kitchen folds Southeast Asian heat into Melbourne café staples—think bubur ayam topped with poached chicken and crullers, or crisp cheeseburger spring rolls alongside rich beef rendang nasi goreng. Commuters drop by for swift morning flat whites, while the sheltered back courtyard caters to relaxed weekenders and leashed dogs supplied with water bowls. The sweet finish leans equally playful, starring pandan French toast draped in toasted coconut and palm sugar toffee.

  • Indonesian-inspired brunch: The kitchen anchors its daytime menu in Indonesian street-food staples like congee, mee goreng, and rendang fried rice alongside classic café fare.
  • Dog-friendly rear courtyard: A sheltered rear outdoor space welcomes four-legged companions with prepped water bowls and bookable tables.
  • Station-side convenience: Situated right across from Hughesdale railway station, serving quick takeaway coffee and hot breakfasts for commuters on the go.

  • Dedicated Dog-Friendly Courtyard

    Guests bringing their canine companions are accommodated in a dedicated rear outdoor space arranged with water bowls on arrival.

    They are very dog friendly and when we booked a table noted we had a dog and so they sat us in their back courtyard. They had a bowl for water ready to go.
