The Farm Cafe

Where else in Melbourne can you and a herd of cows munch on your breakfast together? The novelty of being in the Collingwood Children's Farm aside, the Farm Cafe churns out coffee that certainly passes muster - maybe the sweet and spicy 24/7 blend from 5 Senses with a finish like hot buttered toast. The seasonal menu is sensibly simple for what is mostly an outdoor cafe: slow-cooked baked beans, organic beef sausage rolls and a selection of hearty sandwiches. Takeaway baked treats from the Farm kitchen are a great consolation if you miss out on a table on busy weekends.
