Brown Bear Cafe

I was staying for a day in Preston with my company and randomly walked into this local cafe. I would say it’s a hidden gem!!! Price is affordable + quick service. The matcha latte was tasty and the avocado toast was delicious, prefer to have more options like seeds or honey for toppings tho.

Nice little cafe with a few outdoor seating. The menu is good however the delivery/taste although ok is just not quite up there yet. The service was slow but once we were served it was friendly and the slowness was overlooked. The decor was dark but interesting. The coffee was also good. #goodcoffee

They were very accommodating with my ‘no bread’ request, putting more vegies on my Brown Bear big brekkie instead. Lovely people running the place. Quaint little cafe just a couple of doors up from Sacred Heart Mission op shop for those who are so inclined.

A really great and standout cafe in Preston. I came here in the morning with my partner for breakfast and coffee. Im usually a person that has my coffees warm, to which my request was met with a very appreciated and knowledgeable explanation - they heat their milk to 60 degrees which is just got enough and the optimal temperature. The care and effort they put into their coffee is reflected in their food as well. The food is absolutely delicious and is paired with very warm staff and a welcoming environment. They also raise money for a great cause. Overall I love this cafe, would recommend it to anyone in the area and will consistently be back

Very cosy cafe. Superb coffee and food. Really enjoyed the environment. The name of the cafe corresponds with the kind action behind it which we admire. This won’t be our first visit

Excellent service friendly staff. Great food. We had Berries French toast and porridge delicious flavours and generous portions.

I had a vanilla late with almond milk and the smashed avo with halloumi. This was my first coffee in Melbourne as well as my first time trying halloumi and everything was amazing and tasted so fresh. The staff were so kind and handed over every coffee with a smile. I will definitely be back!

Brown Bear offers something just a bit different, everything is a pleasant twist on familiar foods. The barista is an old hand, and knows what he's doing.... Lovely chef and gorgeous waitresses...
