Why it's worth checking out
Brick Lane sits on Guildford Lane in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, tucked into one of the city's characterful laneways. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine fixture — known for its quality food and coffee and its lovely, characterful laneway setting, the kind of beloved spot that draws a big, loyal crowd for a special brunch or a proper cup.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a charming, atmospheric laneway setting in the heart of the city, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up. Its quality and lovely characterful surrounds have made it a real favourite, and Brick Lane has clearly won over a big following of city workers, locals and visitors.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,700 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular laneway cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great coffee and a quality brunch in a charming laneway, it's often just a matter of dropping in down Guildford Lane in the city.
