About The Guilty Moose

Tired of the usual eggs on sourdough? Albert Park locals slip into this family-run corner for spice-forward morning plates and warm hospitality.

Out back, a quiet, leafy courtyard welcomes dogs while espresso pulls smoothly at the counter.

  • Inventive brunch plates: Standout morning dishes like Baghdad Eggs with harissa, hummus, and pita veer far off the predictable cafe script.
  • Leafy pet-friendly courtyard: A tranquil backyard garden provides a relaxed, pet-friendly outdoor escape away from street traffic.

Why Choose The Guilty Moose

Inventive breakfasts, tranquil backyard courtyard dining, and genuinely warm family service in Albert Park.

  • Distinctive, Spice-Forward Brunch Classics

    Break away from conventional cafe staples with signature dishes like Baghdad Eggs served with hummus, harissa, and warm pita.

    The Baghdad Eggs were fantastic and a good change from the typical sourdough bread and eggs.

  • Bold Flavours Beyond Traditional Breakfasts

    Creative items like carrot cake French toast and spiced potato bowls offer a genuine departure from standard morning menus.

    Such an unique menu and oh so tasty. We loved 'Baghdad eggs' and 'getting all Mushy' (mushroom dish). Bursting with flavours and unlike anything we have tasted in recent times.

  • Relaxing Backyard Garden Courtyard

    A quiet, leafy courtyard at the back provides an airy, comfortable retreat away from street bustle.

    Lovely outdoor area in the back yard. And while it's not the fastest, the food is delicious.

  • Pet-Friendly Outdoor Dining Setting

    Dine alongside your pets in a peaceful, dedicated outdoor area suited for slow morning coffees.

    Had a memorable brunch at this place, in their cosy pet-friendly backyard area.

  • Attentive Neighbourhood Familiarity

    Hands-on family hospitality makes visitors feel known, with morning coffees often prepared as soon as regulars arrive.

    new owners take time to get to know you and have a chat (if it's not too busy). I walk in to get my daily coffee and it's ready before I've even said my order.

    Nathan Jackson

  • Warm, Family-Led Local Hospitality

    A caring, personal ownership presence creates an inviting community atmosphere that turns guests into recurring regulars.

    What really makes this place special is the beautiful family touch — a wonderful mum and her two children running the show with care, pride, and exceptional service.

  • Baghdad Eggs

    You have to try the 'Baghdad Eggs'. I've travelled a lot, eaten a lot of different dishes and this one stays on my mind; unique, tasty and healthy/quality ingredients.

  • Hare Krishna

    Food was a delight, both the spiced potato meal Hare Krishna and the salmon omelet.

  • Burrito

    Today I had the burrito and an oat cappuccino and once again, they did not disappoint.

  • Getting All Mushy

    We loved 'Baghdad eggs' and 'getting all Mushy' (mushroom dish). Bursting with flavours and unlike anything we have tasted in recent times.
