About Drip Cafe

Cheltenham locals head to this plant-fringed corner retreat for sunny daytime brunch and relaxed evening dinners. Royal blue accents set a crisp Aegean feel inside, while the leafy back courtyard gives dog owners a breezy sanctuary to unwind. Morning regulars lean into iced drinks, chilli scrambled eggs, and crisp hash browns before the kitchen shifts gears later in the week. From Thursday to Saturday nights, the counter makes way for a dinner menu featuring pan-fried barramundi fillet and rich prawn linguine.

  • Dog-Friendly Courtyard: The spacious rear garden terrace welcomes dogs alongside human diners for open-air brunch.
  • Thursday–Saturday Dinners: The kitchen transitions into twilight dining Thursday through Saturday, dishing out prawn linguine and barramundi.
