This is a wonderful little place to visit. Not only are the staff amazingly friendly but the coffee is excellent and the tasty food. Everything was so flavorful and better than I hoped for! Service was great. Very friendly staff! In this cofe, it is a pleasant atmosphere and a wonderful coffee is served there. I like to eat here: Potato cake with roast beef and poached eggs. yummyyy! read more

Really good food and good brisk, friendly service. Also good environment and good vibe. I'm not actually a fan of their coffee though! To me it has a green, sour taste. At different times of day it seems to get very crowded and also I wonder if it made it into a tourist or university guide because the last time I was there quite a few people were waiting for a table and a lot of people were taking selfies. read more

Coffee was good. The cinnamon scroll stole the show for me though! Amazing. They have an extensive brunch menu too. I'll be back for sure. Loved how spacious the interior is, feels like a big warehouse but nice. read more

Seven Seeds - The match made in heaven: Cinnamon scroll + coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carlton, VIC

Got the chance to try this place when I was in Melbourne, and the food was amazing! Definitely worth the wait and the coffee was something out of a European place. I order an egg benedict over a waffle, which was something different. The ambiance of the place shouted hipster to me, decor was very different than any cafe you would see in CA. read more

While Geocaching my brother and a couple of friends of ours popped in for a coffee. We instead opted for milkshakes after seeing them on the menu - I specifically went for the PB & J. It was delicious.. the size was perfect (maybe not for $10), but also as it started to get a bit sweet. Also had a taste of the Vanilla & Malt and that was also refreshingly delicious. Will have to come back and try the food and coffee! read more

Whoever says Seven Seeds is not a 5 star experience is LYING. This place is sooo freaking good. I lived across the street from this heavenly joint for 6 months. The glorious smells wafting in through my window was enough to get me out of bed and down to the restaurant in no time. The burger (best of my life) was amazing. I mean, patty cooked to perfection, toasted buns, cheeeesey goodness. Literally welcomed me back to the world of food after days battling food poisoning. Everything else= equally as amazing. I used to have a thick slice of the raisin toast every morning before Uni. I still dream of that toast! And the crumpets. Drool! These are really sweet, I mean, they have condensed milk on them. Only get these if you have a sweeet tooth! Anyway, I love this place. Can't wait to return soon! Lovely coffee (go for a Flat White), and delicious food. You can't go wrong! read more

The food is well prepared so did the coffee. I had a waffle with egg Benedict. So far, it has been the best in Melbourne. You can see chunks of ham in it. The Hollandaise sauce on top enriches the flavor and also it looks great on picture. I love how the shop is divided into different sections with beautiful settings. Both Piccolo and Espresso rock! However, they did not wash the plates properly. I have to change plate twice to get a stain "less" plate. read more

Great food and coffee! It is a bit hidden as its entrance is on a small alley that you won't expect to find an open business. Espresso infused french toasts are light and absolutely delicious! Pleasantly surprised by the chicken carbano as it's much more flavorful than expected, with pickles which makes it very refreshing. read more

It's located in an urban street surrounded by what looks like warehouses. Wanted to check it out because it was on Berkeley Street, and ordered the chicken sandwich, breakfast burger, and the flat white. Chicken sandwich was very tasty, but the sausage on the breakfast burger was too greasy and sweet. The combination with the sweet sauce was synergistic, and not in a good way. We couldn't finish half the burger, would not recommend unless your palette favours the sickenly sweet. Be warned that there's a 10% surcharge on the weekend, and 15% on holidays. read more

These guys are one of the top dogs in the Melbourne coffee scene, and for good reason. They're always roasting and experimenting with new beans from around the world. They care about the industry and try to engage the community when it comes to new styles. Ask for a black coffee and they'll suggest a single origin of the day. Want to try a filtered coffee? Ask them what they have on and then have it served with some tasting notes. Coffee cupping sessions on Wednesday (9am) and Saturday (10am) are a great way to learn more. They're free, so just rock up 5 minutes early and then have a go! You'll be nerding on about acid and mouth-feel in no time. For me, this place is all about the coffee though. Of my dining experiences here I can't say I've been thrilled. The muesli I had once was tired and boring - as if it had simply been picked up off the supermarket shelf. It came with a compote of fruit which tasted like defrosted frozen berries. The small glimmer of awesome was the "chai milk" but it wasn't enough to save the dish and convince me I'd spent my money well. Baked eggs are delicious, though the portions are smaller than what's normally found elsewhere in Melbourne. This isn't a bad thing (I think for we all eat way too much and food waste is appalling) but in terms of value, I think it's just a tad overpriced when others offer up similar dishes at the same price and give you more than two eggs, a tablespoon of tomato sauce and a scattering of (I counted 8) beans. Skip the food, go for the coffee. read more

I'm going to go ahead and assume all the food at Seven Seeds is as good as my own breakfast today. Life changing comes to mind! I didn't even know I liked pears and pecans but I though I'd give it ago and boy am I glad I did! Delicious, fresh, Brioche French toast with poached pears and pecans *drool* washed down by hot chocolate! Sitting in a Cosy window seat watching the world go by! Seven seeds provides a lovely dining experience. It's crowded but not uncomfortably so and the service was great, the guys here should be proud of what they do! FOOD MAGIC! read more

One of my favourite Melbourne coffee roasters, seven seeds does great coffee, fast and helpful service and delicious cakes (not baked on site though). The space has a converted warehouse feel and there is never too long a wait for a table if you don't have a huge group. The food menu changes every so often but usually is pretty poor fare for vegetarians, they will never modify a item off the menu either so your choices for non-meat meals is pretty limited. Having said that the coffee is what you go here for and the free coffee cupping sessions are fantastic. You have to do this at least once. read more

Being a coffee snob, ive always appreciated certain coffee beans. I like my blended over origin. I like vittoria, seven seeds, and Campos coffee. So when I found out that seven seeds had their own cafe in Melbourne, how could I not go. At 9am on a Sunday, it was easy to get seated straightaway though by eleven, two or three groups were waiting to be seated. The menu looked fantastic with something called heirloom carrot toast with lemon ricotta, smashed avocado, greens and chilli dukkah for 14 dollars and 2 dollars for a poached egg. I couldn't wait to taste carrot toast and lemon ricotta. My friend ordered their French toast. We got a skim mocha (extra hot) and a soy cappuccino. Though service was quick, the coffee and meal were disappointing. My mocha was tiny for 4.30, tepid, no coffee or chocolate flavour. Felt like I was drinking milk. Very very disappointing. The heirloom carrot toast was spiralized carrot and greens on sourdough toast slathered in guacamole and ricotta. The ricotta didn't have a lemony flavour. The chilli dukkah was flavorless. And the menu lied. It was not carrot toast. It was carrot on toast. The most disappointing breakfast I've ever had. Everything tasted bland and the same. And to add to it the coffee was not even hot or tasted like coffee. Bad barista day perhaps? Points for quick service, presentation of food and price. read more

As you'll be able to tell with most of my posts - I love coffee. And one of my favourite coffee blends around Melbourne is without a doubt Seven Seeds. Their coffee is consistently amazing, and very different to most blends going around without being over the top. Going to the cafe where all the magic is done isn't as amazing as I'd hope, but that's probably as my affection for the blend is over the top. The coffee was still amazing! Had a Reuben sand which in one of my previous visits which too was great! The place is so busy however (I guess a burden of their own success), and not a great place to relax, especially if your a Melbourne Uni student looking to study. I do however find myself back there often picking up a fresh batch of beans to use at home, where there's a crazy range to choose for all methods of brewing! read more

I just couldn't bring myself to give Seven Seeds 4 stars. I wanted to do it but, thinking back on my poached eggs on toast and the breakfast menu in general, I couldn't do it. I like the decor though- reminds me a little bit of Axil in Hawthorn - open plan, colours and decor that work well together and lively atmosphere. The coffee is great as well - perfect for a coffee run if you live or work in the area. Their breakfast menu did not impress me at all though and the actual dish (when you think about the price of it) was a bit disappointing. I would return for the coffee though. read more

Sunday morning (Father's day) was über busy with a mixed demographic of students, families acouples Exposed brick, concrete floors, high ceilings create a cool if somewhat hectic vibe inside (there is an open kitchen with cooks and baristas running about) Ordered a short macchiato - good temp, touch bitter, beans roasted a touch long perhaps? After quite a wait (mind you I was warned before I sat down), my huevos rancheros looked beautiful and tasted fresh, perfectly fried eggs, micro herbs .. I enjoyed the contrasting textures of the salsa, beans and tostadas. However the tomato felt like it had a bit too much tomato paste in it.. I would have preferred a cleaner tomato flavour. All in all the experience was fine. Papers - yep Music - good background tunes, electronic, chill out. read more

Stopped here a couple of times when we were in Melbourne. This place is easy to miss as it blends it with the surrounding buildings as it has an unassuming facade. But so glad we stopped in to grab a bite. I got the eggs and waffle benedict, which was great! My friend got the coconut crunch french toast which was also really great. Also, it's a great place to get some work done -- has good coffee but no wifi unfortunately. read more

Seven Seeds was a solid start to an early morning. Getting there before 9am was great because there was no queue and service was quick. My dining partner and I enjoyed coffee and hot chocolate featuring Mork chocolate. What a delight! I dined on the bacon, eggs and waffles benedict, which I found to be savoury and filling. The hollandaise sauce was slightly better than most and the crisp waffles were a nice change from the normal sourdough muffins. I would highly recommend this dish! The burger my friend got looked tasty as well. It had Wagyu beef and bacon, with another special sauce and a side of chips. It was quite a hearty selection for breakfast but a good choice. The ambiance was clean and woodsy with high ceilings. There was a community feel with the large tables spread out, lots of room to host more patrons. I will definitely be back and will know better than to walk by again, as the sign is painted on the building, so look for it! :) read more

Whether you're after coffee and cake to catchup with an old friend, or you want a late brunch because you decided to sleep in a little, Seven Seeds has something for you. This place was recommended to me by a new friend - it's close to the University of Melbourne, and only a short walk from several tram lines. While it's got a casual vibe going on, with plants hanging from the ceiling, it's table service here so grab a seat wherever and one of their friendly waitstaff will come to you. I dropped in on a Monday afternoon just before the kitchen closed. I ordered the Iced Latte which came from the 'cubed' drinks menu, appropriately named given the giant ice cube that floated in the middle of the glass. Adding smashed avocado and chorizo to my poached eggs on toast- was a decision that I did not regret. Being so close to one of the city's biggest university campuses, you're likely to see students on their laptops, or catching up on their readings. Venue/ great! Food/ delicious! Service/ excellent! Seven Seeds is definitely 5-star in my books. My only wish.. that I had discovered this place sooner. And maybe that my Iced Latte was bigger. But that could just be my bias towards ice caffeinated drinks talking. read more

Great little find next to Middle Fish Thai, menu looked good and coffee was excellent.

Food: Mind blowing. I personally love the Roasted mushrooms on toast and Eggs ben on waffle. Classics. I have brought numerous visitors (non aussies and aussies) there and no one ever has anything bad to say about it. Coffee: pretty good. One of the better cold brews I've had. Tea was.... well tea they are afterall a coffee establishment. Highly recommend the coffees Service: absolutely no complaints. Attentive and fast hands. Crowd: the only drawback. If you between 9am-11am on a weekend, expect to wait. They are popular! But once inside, it will be worth it. Even when crowded, it is not overly noisy and suffocating Note: They do not have free wifi last I check and you have to pay at the counter. They sell coffee beans! My barrista friend uses it at home. read more

Yet another fabulous spot for coffee and brekkie! (Melbourne folks are spoiled for choice - I'm not sure why people don't weigh 1000 pounds with all the deliciousness around.) Coffee was fantastic. The hot latte was perfect - not a hint of bitterness. And the iced latte came with one giant cube, which kept the coffee from getting overly waters down. Kudos to them for that detail! Housemade lemonade was also refreshing and not overly sweet. Brekkie portions we large and prices were normal. It's a popular spot though when we arrived at 1pm during the week, we still managed to get a seat without waiting. The staff was all super-friendly as well. All in all, a great spot in the area! read more

Seven seeds is a great cafe tucked away in the outskirts of CBD. A great pit stop for cyclers as racks are provided inside the cafe. We tried the smoked salmon served on crumpets with spinach purée and poached eggs. As well as the caramel crumpets. One of our fave meals in Melbourne. Their coffee is also made in the garage next to the cafe and there's a room for tasting sessions. You really can't go wrong with the coffee here. They also serve it at brother baba budan in Melbourne CBD. read more

Seven Seeds is one of the cafes I try to visit whenever I'm back in Melbourne. They consistently make a good coffee and today was no different. My latte was well made with good flavour. It's a good environment to sit an enjoy a coffee or bite to eat in. There's several large tables, some bar seating, and a number of small tables. The decor features a lot of wood (lighter shades) with gives it a very comforting and inviting feeling. The venue is a good size but it gets full at lunch time. I arrived around 11am today and didn't have any trouble finding seating, but when I left a little after 12 there were people waiting for tables. read more

Arguably the best place for coffee in Melbourne. Although seriously, Melbourne has such a strong cafe and coffee culture, you really can't go wrong with coffee at other cafes. But still, Seven Seeds is worth a visit and makes a very good impression. The siphon coffee was delicate yet flavorful in taste. The cold drip coffee was served in cute carafes that look like those where you pour sake out of. Because the coffee was served cold, we were given a small bottle of syrup instead of sugar if we wanted to sweeten our coffee. The entire atmosphere at Seven Seeds was grunge + industrial + bohemian. Loved the high ceilings and loft feel with the rustic wooden tables and chairs. If anyone reading this is from Chicago, it reminds me of places you will find at the Fulton River District. The employees are a little too school for cool but hey, that adds to the vibe. If I lived in Melbourne, I would want to hang out here all the time. read more

Two visits, two days, two friggen amazing experiences. This is probably one of, if not the only place in Melb-town that I am giving 5 stars purely for coffee and superb staff. It takes a lot to impress this chicken little and boy did the Seven Seed staff exceed and excel. Warmly welcomed by well presented staff, we were tended to swiftly. Quite a feat on a busy weekend. Our orders were taken with a smile and readily delivered high quality coffee. The decor is a highpoint. It invites the eye to wander around the room. The internal bike rack is a great selling point. Just a wee note, other than the delicious doughnut, a Matt Forbes creation, we didn't get to try any food. One visit was purely coffee cake cheer me up, the other a much needed latte injection before tackling the QVM. read more

Not only is this one of Melbourne's hardest to find secrets but so is there coffee. Recently I have found some of Melbourne's best cafés and then found that Seven Seeds also supply the coffee. Not only are the beans roasted to perfection but their baristas give the beans the treatment that they deserve. When you first walk into Seven Seeds you are instantly inspired. Whether it be the bicycle hooks that make you think that you should be thinking of other methods of transport, or the indoor garden that makes you appreciate that the produce and beans that you are eating and drinking, to the shared table which helps break down social barriers Seven Seeds is a must for any lover of life. read more

The Seven Seeds name is synonymous with great coffee in Melbourne and probably further afield. I remember being in Lorne down the Great Ocean Road and in need of a coffee at Falls Festival. There was a nice looking cafe. Pretty swish. Nice setting. Could be good for grazing. But there was also a shitty looking coffee stand in front of a supermarket. It had a big sign saying it served Seven Seeds coffee. That was decision made. Seven Seeds was a regular haunt during the uni days and the coffee never disappointed. What I would say is that their food offerings could do more. They offer small foccacias and other such things. Good but not big. But the coffee is obviously the winner here. read more

Seriously one of the best eggs Benedict I've ever had! I hope they never take it off the menu! Two poached eggs on a waffle and inside the waffle is ham hock and cheese! Not the most "instagrammable" breakfast ever but after tasting the chipotle hollandaise your taste buds will be happy! Also a coffee roastery so naturally they also do good coffee. Also they use real chai so it might be a bit Heavier on the spices compared to some places that use powder or syrup chaos. Can't go wrong here! read more

The food was so good!!! I got the broccolini salad so flavorful and fresh. I didn't even need dressing. My mom got the peach toast. The peaches were good but too thick. Presentation was on point. Wait time was reasonable 15 mins. We were just two people so we got seated at the communion table. The location is sweet! You have to search for it. There's a front tht just says 'seven seeds' in simple text across the walls but the back entrance is awesome with a bunch of graffiti. read more

Awesome café spot with some delicious brunch/breakfast offerings. Came here for brunch with the bf during our trip to Melbourne a couple of months ago. The place can get quite crowded, so expect a wait prior to getting seated, though the turnover seems to go quickly enough. Both the bf and I got separate orders of eggs with toast (poached for me with a side of halloumi cheese, scrambled for him with a side of bacon for him) and we also shared an order of their strawberries and cream topped crumpets. The food was simple but absolutely delicious. Everything tasted super fresh, and those crumpets were fantastic. Coffee was also quite good. Definitely worth a peek if you happen to be in Melbourne! read more

Dishes displayed in a well-designed way. Nice picture! Many people chose to study here, which is not bad, but means there will be a waiting during lunch time, and there's a high chance that you will be seated with other groups of people.

Seven Seeds is a very modern and spacious brunch venue. It was busy for a Wednesday morning but the line moved pretty quickly. We were seated within 10 minutes. We ordered the beef brisket hash and the 15 hour lamb. Both dishes were delicious and the meats were cooked really well. So nice and soft. The only let down for us was the coffee. It was a little weak and there was only one size. I couldn't get a large coffee haha read more
