About Tall Timber Cafe

On Commercial Road, Tall Timber pairs high-caliber specialty coffee with generous, inventive Melbourne brunch classics. Morning crowds gather for plates of chili scramble and thick French toast crowned with cinnamon mascarpone, balanced by lighter options like beetroot-cured salmon. Out back, a tranquil open-air courtyard centers around a communal table set with an herb and veggie garden, offering breathing room for dog walkers, post-run crews, and lingering catch-ups. Pour-overs, silky batch brew, and flat whites keep the counter humming all morning.

  • Garden Courtyard: A sunlit outdoor courtyard features a long communal table centered around an integrated veggie garden.
  • Year-Round Counter: Open 365 days a year, keeping its doors open straight through public holidays.
  • Elevated Classics: Kitchen staples span thick French toast with cinnamon mascarpone to vibrant chili scrambled eggs.

  • Smashed Avocado

    You might start with their signature smashed avocado, a Melbourne staple, but Tall Timber gives it a lift with tangy feta, a soft-boiled egg, and a sprinkle of dukkah.

  • Shakshuka

    The Shakshuka was a delightful medley of flavours, with perfectly poached eggs nestled in a rich tomato and capsicum sauce.
