Heard about this little cafe from a write up somewhere and thought wed give it a go. A few people lining up for takeaway coffees so a rather good start. The menu is full of classic dishes with middle eastern flavours; nothing too hipster. Highlights: Everything was OK, but nothing stood out. In a city full of amazing eateries, you have to be exceptional. Lowlights: need to step up the service game. More focus on the middle eastern flavours would have a massive difference.

This was our first time visiting The Spot and heres what we think of it!
Harissa scrambled eggs – this was a beautiful dish with a lot of scrambled egg on the multigrain! The harissa, cayenne, labneh and avocado were great additions as well adding complexity to the flavors I had tasted – salty, sweet and spicy all at once and complementing each other! It may not sound possible but it was! What made this dish stand out was that the harissa which gave me that extra kick but was not overly spicy!
Nutella and ice cream waffles – this may sound like a simple dish but it takes skills to make a perfect one and they definitely nailed it! The waffles were thick and not overly crispy and lets face it – who doesnt love Nutella and ice cream? Sweet tooth lovers out there, this is the dish for you!
Juices – we had ordered the orange and apple juice separately and I just have to say how fresh they were! You could actually taste the fruits but in a liquid form!
Overall, The Spot has done really well and I would love to see what other surprises they have in store for the future!
The Spot is a little cafe tucked away in a quite part of Coburg. Its a little gem that serves up great brunches with friendly service.
My friend and I ordered the smashed avo, the harissa scramble and the buttermilk waffles. Although they were simple dishes, they were executed well. My faves were the scramble and the waffles. Havent had such soft and fluffy waffles in a while!!
If youre after some great brunch staples with a middle eastern twist, make sure you head on over to The Spot and try them out for yourself!
Great coffee, great food, great service!
The Spot is THE spot to go if you’re after a good feed. We got the Harissa Scramble, Smashed Avocado and the Buttermilk Waffles and a flat white.
Harissa Scramble was hands down one of my faves! The harissa and labna is house made, which give it the extra special touch and makes it that much more delicious! This is the perfect brunch item!
Smashed Avocado was packed with goodness! Again, their labna they crumble over is house made, generous serve of avocado and rocket, balanced perfectly with the heirloom tomatoes, dukkah and poached egg.
Buttermilk Waffles were delicious to the max!! The batter is, once again, house made. The inside is light and fluffy. The outside is crispy and golden. Topped with vanilla ice cream, maple syrup and fresh berries.
I highly recommend popping by – you won’t regret it!
What a lovely, modern brunch place in the heart of Coburg! We started with a Soy Cappuccino & Almond Latte and they hit the spot. The coffee was smooth & the perfect temperature. We then ate the special Vegan Bircher, which had the perfect balance of flavour as you could control the ginger syrup poured on. It tasted sweet & tangy, but also healthy and filing.
The smashed avo had a generous portion of toast & smashed avo, which was well seasoned with fresh feta & heirloom tomatoes. The egg was poached to perfection.
We also had the coconut water & fresh orange juice, which was so refreshing and organic tasting!
The waitress was extremely friendly and accomodating. I will definitely return!
We came here to The Spot Cafe in Coburg for brunch. It was a cold morning but we felt warm and comfortable even sitting outside.
The decor is pleasant crisp and fresh and we found the staff friendly and helpful.We ordered the Shakshukah which we thought was not only a very authentic middle eastern dish it was one of the best Ive ever had. It came with two perfectly cooked poached eggs with runny yolks, labne, Jordanian sastra and served with fresh Turkish bread. The flavours were all there the capsicum and tomato paste was rich and the depth of flavour was intense – beautifully balanced. Just sensational.
We also ordered the Nutella waffles which came with fresh strawberries and creamy vanilla ice cream. As soon as they hit the table we were so impressed. (see photo) Presentation and portion size were right on point and surprisingly it wasnt too sweet. Another truly delicious dish. Faultless.We also had the salted caramel freakshake with peanut butter and pretzels. It was amazing! The flavours worked so well sweet, salty and nutty it was irresistible.
The Spot Caf has been around for a while now and today it definitely surpassed our expectations.We were delighted to be invited here and we most definitely look forward to coming back again soon! One could easily say – this is The Spot to be!
Clean, modern cafe with a decent size menu. Had the fritters stack and was pleasantly surprised at the generous serving. Even though the veg goodness was towering on the plate, quality of the food wasn’t compromised. Really yum
