Why it's worth checking out
Awa French Crêperie & Café sits on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, one of Melbourne's most iconic and characterful inner-north neighbourhoods. A French crêperie and café, it's earned a strong reputation for its authentic crêpes and galettes, along with good coffee — the kind of charming, quality spot that brings a genuine taste of France to the area.
The appeal is that combination of authentic French crêpes — both sweet and savoury — quality café fare and a relaxed, characterful setting in a great Brunswick Street location, ideal for a leisurely breakfast, a casual lunch, a sweet treat or a relaxed catch-up. A genuine French crêperie offers a lovely point of difference, and Awa has clearly won over a loyal following in Fitzroy.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 300 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular café gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for an authentic crêpe and a good coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated on Brunswick Street.
