Adore this place! Visit on most days. Their cakes are so delicious are different every day of the week! So it’s always a lovely surprise. Their sandwiches are my go-to, always a vegetarian option as well as a chicken and ham/pork. All made fresh on their delicious sourdough. Highly recommend for a lunch break if you’re ever in the area.
Top Paddock Cafe is a renowned spot in Richmond, known for its mantra of 'paddock to plate' that emphasizes the use of fresh local Australian produce.

Their menu features a variety of flavor combinations, with a special emphasis on Musubi, also known as onigiri, which is akin to an Aussie sandwich. The restaurant is also known for its rotating selection of coffee roasts from local and international roasters, and its Japanese style veggie sides that pair perfectly with Musubi.

Hands-down one of the best coffees in Melbourne, pour-over miso soup, ochazuke. A breakfast to be reckoned with.I love you, 279 Victoria St. Onigiri/musubi with mackerel and spring onion, and with mustard greens and sesame. Throw in what I think is hands-down one of the best coffees in Melbourne plus pour-over miso soup and ochazuke and you’ve got a breakfast to be reckoned with.
