About Roslyn Thai Cafe

Trade the predictable eggs on toast for savory Thai morning fare in West Melbourne. Patrons dodge the standard cafe routine for bowls of Gao Lao Nuea Toon—rich, slow-simmered beef broth laden with braised beef and tender greens—or khao khai khon, runny scrambled eggs folded with pork belly over rice and spiked with prik nahm pla. Beyond the modest counter, the room opens to a heated, covered garden deck welcoming four-legged companions with ready water bowls. The sweet counter finishes strong: think Thai tea canelés with crisp shells, fluffy pandan coconut slices, and iced Cloud Bloom jasmine tea shaken with young coconut.

  • Savory Thai breakfasts: Hearty morning bowls bypass standard cafe fare, featuring spiced braised beef soup, khao kai khon, and dried porridge.
  • Heated dog-friendly deck: The rear sheltered deck stays heated through Melbourne chills, complete with water bowls for visiting dogs.
  • Thai-inspired bakery counter: Pastry cabinets stock daily sweets like Thai tea canelés, pandan coconut sponge, and coconut-cream topped coffees.

  • Pandan Coconut Cake

    The pandan coconut cake was a real surprise highlight—soft, fluffy, and incredibly fresh, with a light coconut aroma that isn’t overpowering at all.

  • Foithong Taro Cake

    The cake was soft and light with a delicate taro flavor, not too sweet. The cream was smooth, and the foithong on top was rich and fragrant — the perfect finishing touch.
