Friends of Mine

Friends of Mine is a cafe on Swan Street in Richmond with a clear focus on brunch, coffee and relaxed time with others. The venue describes its offer simply: food and coffee served in a comfortable environment, with brunch treated as the main event rather than a quick stop between activities.

The experience is centred on gathering. Friends are encouraged to sit back, relax and enjoy brunch together, with the option of opening some bubbly as part of the occasion. While the website does not list specific dishes, it does make the cafe’s food-and-coffee focus clear, without tying the experience to a particular style of cuisine.

Friends of Mine also hosts celebrations and positions the cafe as a venue for events of different sizes. That makes it relevant for groups planning a casual get-together as well as larger occasions, although the website does not provide further details about event packages or the space itself. For a quieter visit, the comfortable setting and all-day brunch emphasis may also suit solo diners, but the venue’s strongest invitation is to gather with friends.

It is open every day of the year, from 7am to 3pm on weekdays and from 7:30am to 3pm on weekends and public holidays. For Richmond locals and visitors looking for a brunch-focused cafe with event-hosting potential, Friends of Mine offers a straightforward, social option.
