Touchwood

Touchwood sits on Bridge Road in Richmond, a lively inner-eastern suburb of Melbourne. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — combining quality food and good coffee with a relaxed, characterful setting (with a lovely leafy, plant-filled feel), the kind of welcoming spot that draws a steady stream of regulars.

The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed, characterful atmosphere in a convenient Richmond location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up. A cafe that's nailed both its food and its lovely atmosphere really stands out, and Touchwood has clearly won over a big, loyal following.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 700 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, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Touchwood on Bridge Road in Richmond.
