About STREAT Cromwell Cafe

Tucked along Cromwell Street, this Collingwood cafe pairs on-site roasted coffee and house baking with a leafy garden courtyard. The sprawling outdoor greenery feels like chilling in a private backyard away from city rush. Patrons head here for crumbed son-in-law eggs with chilli relish, crisp corn fritters, or a long macchiato alongside warm sourdough. Running as a dedicated social enterprise, the kitchen and floor provide hands-on hospitality training pathways for local youth. Counter cases stay packed with freshly pulled pastries, rustic loaves, and sweet treats ready for the table or takeaway.

  • On-Site Roastery & Bakery: Roasts coffee beans on the premises and features an in-house bakery turning out fresh bread and pastries.
  • Leafy Garden Courtyard: An expansive, green courtyard space offering quiet dining away from inner-city bustle.

Why Choose STREAT Cromwell Cafe

Distinctive reasons to visit STREAT Cromwell Cafe, from on-site roasting to its leafy garden courtyard and youth empowerment model.

  • Fresh In-House Roastery and Bakery

    The cafe operates an on-site roastery and dedicated in-house bakery, ensuring fresh specialty batches and artisanal pastries crafted directly on the premises.

    The coffee, which is roasted on site, as always was impeccable. Delicious food options catering to all dietaries. We even had to buy some extra pastries and other baked goods (from the in house bakery!) to take home after paying our bill

  • Dedicated Boardroom and Corporate Spaces

    Equipped with dedicated private facilities including a boardroom, the venue supports productive business lunches and corporate sessions paired with full catering service.

    We hired their boardroom for a business meeting and working lunch. Incredible service, everything was well thought out and the food and coffees were delicious.

  • Youth Hospitality Training Mission

    Every visit directly funds hospitality apprenticeships and vocational pathways for at-risk youth, combining everyday dining with tangible local impact.

    I like how this cafe is a social enterprise supporting at-risk youth by giving them work (and I think an apprenticeship). Great cause.

  • Empowering Community Transformation

    Dining choices actively empower trainees to transition into sustainable careers, creating lasting positive community outcomes with each meal.

    Unique place staffed by people for whom it is a circuit breaker from tough life experiences. 12 months of training/development/working here and 85% go on to live productive and independent lives

  • Son in Law Eggs

    My Son in Law eggs was a buffet for the taste buds, from the tart pickled veggies and mildly spicy chilli relish to the fluffy roti, sticky rice noodle and of course the sensational eggs themselves
