Coffee and matcha washed on canvas drawn with fine line, watercolour and coloured pencils.

Sit back and enjoy the scenes of haiku with some absolute detailed works of Emily.

What people say

Breakfast and brunch restaurants are a great way to start your day with a delicious meal. And if you're in Melbourne, HAIKU on Toorak Road is definitely worth checking out. This breakfast and brunch restaurant offers a unique dining experience that will leave you wanting more.

One of the things that sets HAIKU apart from other breakfast and brunch spots is their night eatery, .kuro. This adds an extra dimension to the dining experience, allowing customers to enjoy delicious food and drinks in a cozy atmosphere well into the evening.

HAIKU also takes pride in their winter menu, which features new dishes inspired by Korean and seafood flavors. Their Hiroshima style haiku okonomiyaki with smoked salmon is a must-try for those looking for winter comfort food.

But it's not just about the food at HAIKU - they also feature guest roasters like Koppi Roasters from Sweden, offering a variety of single-origin coffee options for dine-in or retail purchase. And if you're looking for some creative inspiration while you dine, check out their custom tote bags featuring digital works by local designer .

Overall, HAIKU is a fantastic breakfast and brunch spot that offers something different from your typical cafe. With their unique menu items, cozy atmosphere, and creative touches, it's no wonder they have such a loyal following among Melbourne locals.
