   ☕ Cafe · Melbourne CBD

   Kaya French toast is a standout; reservations open one day ahead, and walk-ins should expect a queue.

2. 1:34

   State Library Victoria

   🏛️ Historic site · Melbourne CBD

   The area is always busy because it sits right opposite Melbourne Central.

3. 3:03

   Hareruya Pantry

   ☕ Cafe · Carlton

   Flavours can be tasted before ordering; genmaicha is the pick, and always say yes to the brown sugar syrup.

4. 5:01

   Bakemono Bakers

   ☕ Cafe · Melbourne CBD

   It gets very busy, so expect crowds.

5. 5:22

   Little Rogue

   ☕ Cafe · Melbourne CBD

   The cherry blossom latte has a unique flavour; a chai latte is also on offer.

6. 6:25

   Dodee Paidang

   🍴 Restaurant · Melbourne CBD

   Walk-ins only, so queues can be long; dinner sometimes comes with live music.

7. 8:41

   South Melbourne Market

   🛒 Market · South Melbourne

   The bakery's pandan croissant sells out fast; the pandan flan is the fallback.

   An oat latte pairs well with a pastry from the market bakery.

10. 9:45
