Best spot for weekend brunch & coffee in Brunswick
If your idea of the perfect Melbourne weekend brunch is seriously good coffee, generous plates and relaxed vibes, add Project281 to your list.
Their award-winning house blend, The Brunx, is roasted and brewed in-house, with tasting notes of malt, vanilla, nougat, caramel and milk chocolate. Smooth, rich and seriously delicious.
And the Triple Hot Chocolate? An absolute MUST. 🍫It’s indulgent, decadent and unapologetically chocolatey — basically happiness in a cup.
For food, the Steak Sandwich and Beef Benny both hit the spot. Wholesome, flavour-packed and delicious, with seriously generous portions for the price.
Even on a busy, bustling weekend afternoon, service was prompt, the vibe was relaxed, and the whole place had that easygoing Brunswick energy that makes you want to stay a little longer.
