About Station Street Cafe

Steps from Nunawading Station, this neighborhood hub trades bustling commuter rush for generous table space and an enclosed toddler play area in plain view. Parents linger over breakfast burritos and taro lattes while little ones stay occupied with toys. Regulars drop in before train connections for well-pulled espresso, warm scones, and slow-cooked beef gnocchi served under gentle background tunes.

  • Enclosed Toddler Play Corner: A dedicated toy-filled corner keeps toddlers safely occupied within clear sight of dining tables.
  • Spacious, Low-Key Setting: Solid, widely spaced tables and low background music provide breathing room right by the station.

    Solid, well-spaced dining tables ensure your meal does not feel crowded or cramped.

    It was clean and spacious! You weren't sitting on little tables where one dish was going to just take up all the space!

  • Stress-Free Peace of Mind for Parents

    Parents can slow down and enjoy a warm meal peacefully rather than rushing out due to restless toddlers.

    having a safe place for him to play means we can relax and enjoy our meals for once instead of shovelling them in and leaving in a stressful huff.

  • Elevated Neighborhood Brunch Classics

    Generously plated brunch items and culinary dishes exceed typical neighborhood cafe standards.

    We had spent a week in Melbourne eating at various places and this was hands down the best brunch we had.
