About Raya Melbourne

Little Collins Street regulars trade notes on this compact counter for true Southeast Asian breakfast comfort. The move is the classic kopitiam spread—crunchy toast layered with butter and fragrant kaya jam, ready to dip straight into peppered soft-boiled eggs. Counter displays pack novelty with ube banana pie, beef rendang pastries, and thick slices of pandan chiffon cake. Seating is tight across a few small tables, making it an easy perch to sip a foamy teh tarik or hojicha latte alongside a warm matcha cookie.

  • Kaya Toast Sets: Crisp toast slicked with butter and kaya jam, paired with wobbly soft-boiled eggs for morning dipping.
  • Southeast Asian Bakes: Bakes and pastries rotate through pandan chiffon, ube banana pie, and savory beef rendang pies.
  • Specialty Teas and Drinks: Pours include rich, foamy teh tarik alongside whisked hojicha and matcha lattes.
  • Compact City Perch: A cozy CBD spot with small tables built for quick morning bites, sweet fixes, and solo visits.

Why Choose Raya Melbourne

Discover why Melbourne diners choose Raya for authentic Southeast Asian breakfast sets, inventive pastries, and comforting drinks.

  • Authentic Kaya Toast and Soft-Boiled Eggs

    Crispy toast layered with rich kaya coconut jam served alongside perfectly textured soft-boiled eggs and seasoned with soy and pepper.

    Toast was so good, crispy and flavorful, the matcha was creamy and warming, and the egg was perfectly cooked and with perfect texture.

  • Comforting Teh Tarik and Morning Drinks

    Foamy, fragrant teh tarik milk tea and rich specialty coffee concoctions designed to warm and energize your morning.

    The teh tarik is superb, a big warm comforting hug, delicious flavour, light and foamy, great way to start the day.

  • Distinctive Southeast Asian Dessert Fusion

    Signature creations like kaya toast chiffon cake, ube pie, and fragrant pandan chiffon deliver inventive Southeast Asian flavour profiles.

    Their ube banana pie is super nice and creamy, not too heavy and very comforting.

  • Creative Specialty Cold Brews and Teas

    Innovative pairings combining yuzu, hojicha, matcha foam, and espresso bring fresh discovery beyond standard cafe fare.

    And last but not the least cold brew with the pandan foam! I don’t know who woke up one morning and thought “we need this”!

  • A Comforting Taste of Home

    Traditional flavours and familiar breakfast rituals evoke the nostalgic warmth of classic kopitiam dining in Malaysia and Singapore.

    Would really recommend the kaya toast and soft boiled egg as well, just like how the Malaysians have it back home ♡

  • Mood-Lifting Day Maker

    Delectable sweet treats and welcoming hospitality provide an uplifting escape that recharges your afternoon.

    So many bad work days have been turned around here. Love the cookies especially, but also divine coffees and little glutinous sweeties

  • Matcha Teh Tarik

    love the matcha froam, not too much sweet, enough matcha taste and deep taste of teh tarik, good combo and both things are balanced.

  • Miso Caramel Chocolate Cake

    The caramel's subtle saltiness delicately counterbalances the rich bitterness of the chocolate, resulting in a symphony of taste that is not overly sweet, but ever so beautifully balanced.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, seating, and ordering for your visit

  • Visit Early for the Best Cake Selection

    Arrive early for the best choice of sweets; popular baked slices can see limited selection by 12:30 PM.

  • Keep Group Sizes Small

    The cafe features compact seating, making it well-suited for solo diners or pairs rather than groups larger than three.

  • Season Your Eggs for Dipping

    Prepare soft-boiled eggs the traditional way with a dash of white pepper and dark soy sauce before dipping your kaya toast.
