What you’ll find at Neighbourhood Espresso
Neighbourhood Espresso sits in a quiet local street, fast becoming a meeting spot for locals due to the rich coffee and delectable fare.
In designing the layout of Neighbourhood, Cleo has drawn on her prolific travels as a source of inspiration. The Melbourne café scene shaped the modern menu, with a breakfast/brunch selection that includes green pea fritters, mixed mushrooms on sour dough together with a lunch selection of amazing burgers together with hand cup chips. The meals rustically modern plating mean you will catch a few patrons snapping photos from their Instagram page before tucking in.
