No frills, just flavour

The Bendigo Street Milk Bar in Richmond might not have the polish of some of its flashier counterparts, but it more than makes up for it with quality coffee, hearty breakfasts, flavour-packed sandwiches, and a tight, ever-changing specials list.

A nostalgic neighbourhood nod

The fit-out channels the charm of a country-town corner store—simple, welcoming, and a little nostalgic. Like the old-school milk bars it’s inspired by, this spot offers more than just food and drinks. You’ll also find shelves stocked with local gems like AG artisan bread, Persian fairy floss, Royal Nut Company snacks, and all the classic milk bar essentials.

Space to stay awhile

There’s plenty of room to settle in, whether you’re inside, out front, or soaking up the sun in the back courtyard. The menu is full of comforting favourites like the egg and bacon roll, Thai chicken wrap, and bush-spiced calamari—unpretentious and satisfying.

A quiet favourite with staying power

It may not be the trendiest café on the block, but with its friendly staff, quiet location, and no-fuss food, it’s easy to see why locals and newcomers keep coming back.
