Why it's worth checking out
Jethro Canteen sits on Burnley Street in Richmond, a lively inner-eastern suburb of Melbourne. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — the kind of welcoming, quality spot that draws a steady stream of regulars for good coffee and food in a relaxed, characterful setting.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, genuinely good coffee and a relaxed, neighbourhood feel in a convenient Richmond location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up. In a city that loves its cafes, a spot that's nailed both its food and its coffee becomes a real fixture, and Jethro Canteen has clearly won over a loyal following.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 430 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. 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 great brunch and an excellent coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated in Richmond.
