Snippet: Hugging the bay, bisected by a canal and shaded by plane trees, Elwood ranks highly on the charmometer. There’s no train, trams barely skirt the perimeter and arterial roads stick to the edges, maintaining a cosy village feel despite being just eight kilometres south-east of the city. It’s a place for ice-cream (or hot chocolate) on the beach, pasta with a sea view and Sunday jazz with snacks.

Snippet: A thick, silky home-made custard is the ideal partner for a warm crumble – or just about any dessert or cake, for that matter. Sure, store-bought is easier, but the taste and texture of home-made are in a league of their own. It’s so delicious I could drink it by the mug!

Snippet: If coffee’s not sweetened and topped with cream, we don’t want it – or at least Gen Z don’t. Gone are the days of the humble flat white and long black. Melbourne cafes and coffee shops are now overflowing with cold foam lattes of all kinds. Banana bread, tiramisu, Milo and Biscoff are just some of the flavours you might find in your cup of coffee in 2026.

Snippet: It may look like a mini croissant, but this Japanese-born treat tastes and feels completely different. Shio pan translates to salt bread; it’s made by wrapping milk bread dough around a log of cold, salted butter that melts into the fluffy bread as it bakes. The result? A crisp golden-brown crust and soft buttery interior that’s salty-sweet and pulls apart, instead of flaking like pastry.

Snippet: Research by bookings platform OpenTable reveals one third of Australians consider hospitality venues to be their dedicated “third place” – a space separate to home and work – leading to higher demand for cafes that stay open past the typical 3pm closing time. It’s why many cafes now double as wine bars and remain open until the evening, creating a place for customers to walk in and enjoy a drink and a snack without committing to a three-course menu.

Snippet: Sydney is, notoriously, a morning city. Every Saturday, hundreds of people congregate at Bondi Beach for their 4am run. Bill Granger’s reinterpretation of brunch fare turned “Australian cafe” into an internationally recognised cuisine. And if there’s a universal complaint about the city, it’s how difficult it can be to buy a good cup of coffee after 2pm.
