The Farm Cafe

This venue is a finalist for best family-friendly cafes in Good Food’s Essential Melbourne Cafes and Bakeries of 2025.

The Farm Cafe

Cafe$

A cupcake, a babycino and the opportunity to see some cows and ponies? It’s the toddler equivalent of dinner and show. Tucked behind the Abbotsford Convent is the slightly ramshackle but completely joyful Collingwood Children’s Farm cafe. Adults will love the generous avocado toast with poached eggs, beetroot relish and goat’s cheese, or stewed rhubarb topped granola and excellent Streat coffee.

Good to know: Entry is free, accessed from the riverfront bike path.
