Why it's worth checking out
NIJUUSAN sits on Faraday Street in Carlton, one of Melbourne's most established inner-city suburbs near the university. A 4.5 rating from 113 reviews marks it as a genuine local favourite.
The appeal is a relaxed, quality cafe with a loyal following — somewhere to settle in for a great coffee, a bite and a catch-up, in keeping with Carlton's lively food scene. Its Faraday Street location, close to Lygon Street and the university, makes it an easy and welcoming stop.
Cafe menus, specials and trading hours change over time, and weekends can get busy. If you're after a particular dish or specific opening hours, it's worth confirming the current details directly with the cafe before you head over.
