HIGHER GROUND REVIEWS
Nice place for a bite to eat, bustling environment if you visit when it's busy (which it usually is). My wife and I walked in and got a seat right away but we saw many people waiting for a table so be prepared for that. Food is reasonably priced and was fast to arrive. The inside of the building feels very spacious and can hold quite a few people. There were a few small birds flying around inside while we were eating. Overall a good experience, I would return.
Gorgeous restaurant right near Southern Cross Station with an amazing vibe and great food & coffee. We loved the little birds flying around inside the super high ceilings. It felt a bit dystopian, in the best way!
Higher Ground Cafe is a culinary gem! Set in a beautifully restored former power station, its industrial-chic ambiance adds a unique charm. The menu offers a wide range of options, from coffee and healthy choices to small plates and fine wine. The atmosphere is captivating, the coffee is superb, and the breakfast options are delightful. With ample seating choices, Higher Ground Cafe is a must-visit destination for any occasion. Prepare to be delighted by their culinary delights! PS: the hotcake was amazing!

TOP PADDOCK REVIEWS
Heard a lot about this place and it doesn’t disappoint! Super good vibes and excellent seat options both indoors and out. Very inviting and aesthetically pleasing! It’s quite spacious too! The food was good overall - I reckon standard brunch food however the highlight after ordering 7 dishes was the blueberry ricotta hotcake! It’s crispy at the bottom, creamy and light at the top! A must-try item if you visit!
Great experience today. The food is superb. We ordered the Eggs Benedict, Top Paddock Breakfast, Pink Smoothie and the Blueberry & Ricotta hotcake. The hollandaise sauce, chorizo and smoothie as part of our meals were standouts. The hotcake was a deep dish pancake with a great ricotta cream like topping. Service and coffee was on point. Considering we booked at peak hour on the weekend, they were on top of their game.
Awesome breakfast spot in Richmond. The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. The service was amazing and the venue is beautiful. Definitely recommended. Definitely coming back.

MANCHESTER PRESS REVIEWS
Another gem in Melbourne - it's easy to see why this place is highly rated. The building has its own history. The latte was my initial choice, however was suggested a blend (I believe from Bolivia) which tasted great as an espresso. The waiter knows his stuff - and an excellent recommendation. Enjoyed the smell / aroma and the taste (quite rare for me to just have an espresso). Whilst in Melbourne I've had the espresso just twice and this was my second palace (in that weekend I managed to fit in 10 cafes).
One of the best breakfast places in Melbourne. Amazingly decorated coffees, yummy chia pudding, bagels with Aubergines and everything in a beautifully hidden place in the middle of CBD.
All the bagels sounded so good I had a really hard time picking!! Chose the maple bacon banana which was super yummy and a big portion. Wish I was more of a coffee person to be able to enjoy the specialty coffees they offer. Would come back to try the other bagels!! :).
