Merri Cafe

CERES Merri Cafe

The Merri Cafe is an organic cafe serving a range of delicious cakes and baked treats, locally roasted organic coffee, and a selection of tasty sandwiches, wraps and salads.

The Merri Cafe boasts a seasonally changing menu, which showcases our favourite organic, local food and drinks and supports our local farmers and producers, including produce grown at CERES Honey Lane Market Garden. As always, we celebrate growing, cooking, eating and learning together – putting food back at the centre of our table to create community and support community food systems.

The Merri Head Chef

Lead chef Hemi

Our Head Chef, Hemi Rakei Reidy has 15 years on Melbourne’s fine dining scene. Hemi‘s food combines power and patience, realising wholeness both on plate, and in process. His focus on farm and sea to table draws from his Maori roots and values locality, seasonality, and comprehensive use. Hemi‘s cooking fronts his belief that, from pit to peel, everything has its place. When not diving or foraging, Hemi is owner and consulting chef of Brunswick’s True North, and lead chef at the Merri Cafe.

Best mushroom toast ever i'm slightly bias but I stand true to my statement!! Also great crew and the best spot for a cuppa and a wander around some greenery X

Exceptional place to relax with a coffee and snack on the sunny balcony to meet with friends. There's plenty of seating and a large carpark. At the back there's also some animals for the little kids to observe located next to a 2nd cafe. Service is friendly and efficient. Seems like you are way out in the country, so will be back to this little haven in the middle of Brunswick.

Good food in a great location. It was cold in the outside booths in Winter but would be beautiful on a sunny day.

4 of us enjoyed breakfast at Merri Cafe this morning after parkrun at Kirkdale Reserve. The easy ordering system via qr code scanning with quick and our food and coffee arrived quickly. I really enjoyed the breakfast wrap gluten free option and the coffee was great! Thank you 😊 💓
