Rowena Corner Store

The Rowena Corner Store sits on Rowena Parade in Richmond, a lively inner-eastern suburb of Melbourne. A much-loved corner-store cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — combining quality food and good coffee with a charming, characterful corner-store setting, the kind of welcoming neighbourhood spot that draws devoted regulars.

The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a charming, characterful atmosphere in a lovely Richmond corner-store location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up. A cafe with genuine neighbourhood character that's nailed both its food and its coffee really stands out, and the Rowena Corner Store has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 470 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 a quality coffee in a charming setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in at the Rowena Corner Store in Richmond.
