Why it's worth checking out

Good Measure sits on Lygon Street in Carlton, Melbourne's famous Italian-influenced dining strip just north of the CBD. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — the kind of welcoming, quality spot that draws a big, loyal crowd for good coffee, quality food and a relaxed atmosphere on one of the city's best-known streets.

The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed, characterful setting in a great Lygon Street location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a satisfying lunch or a casual catch-up. On a strip as famous as Lygon Street, a consistently well-loved cafe really stands out, and the sheer number of reviews speaks to how popular Good Measure has become.

With a 4.5 rating from nearly 2,000 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a coffee and a casual bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in and joining the regulars on Lygon Street.

Spot Score

The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.5 from 1,980 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
