Seddon Deadly Sins

On Victoria Street in Seddon, this café has served breakfast and lunch since 2003, when Chris arrived from Wagga Wagga wanting to bring small-town warmth to inner-west Melbourne. The front room is small, with tables sketched by hand and menus tucked inside Little Golden Book covers; a shaded courtyard sits at the rear, offering seating for various weather. The kitchen turns out all-day breakfast and lunch, freshly baked cakes and a dark Italian roast house blend, with vegan and gluten-free options and free-range eggs throughout.

The Good Room, a function space in Rococo style, hosts high teas, cocktail parties and private gatherings. Dog-friendly.
