Why it's worth checking out
Livingstone sits on Claremont Street in South Yarra, one of Melbourne's most stylish inner-south-east suburbs. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — combining quality food and genuinely good coffee with a relaxed, characterful setting, the kind of welcoming spot that draws a steady stream of regulars.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, excellent coffee and a relaxed atmosphere in a convenient South Yarra location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up. A cafe that's nailed both its food and its coffee really stands out, and Livingstone has clearly won over a loyal following.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 320 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 at Livingstone in South Yarra.
