Seven Seeds

Amazing coffee, polite staff, and once in a while, you’ll spot a cute dog or two hanging outside.

Mon dernier brunch en Australie !! tout simplement parfait !!
L’ambiance et la déco sont très hypster, mais reste décontracté… Ont mangent ensembles sur des grandes tables, ce qui ajoute une ambiance très populaire et c’est ce que j’aime.
Le personnel est très sympa, à l’écoute, prend le temps de vous expliquer le menu même si le restaurant est plein.
Par rapport au autre restaurant de brunch, il apporte un vrai plus au niveau des boissons. Chaudes ou froides, ils ont leurs spécialités que vous né trouvez que chez eux. Que ce soit leurs Cubes Ice, leur FIZZ, leur café avec différentes façons de préparation (décoction, infusion, percolation…) !! Ils ont une vrai maîtrise dans leur boisson. Et le résultat ce fait sentir.
Côté repas, nous avons été enchanté… Les plats sont beaux et bons !! Nous avons découvert de nouvelle saveur et c’est ce qu’on cherche quand on va au restaurant ! Vraiment bluffant !
Par exemple le french toast à une crème pâtissière au potiron sucré incroyable !!
Je vous en dis pas plus venez essayer ce restaurant entre amis ou avec votre amoureuse vous n’allez pas être dessus !! ^^

Decent brunch grub but the coffees and teas are what makes this place a great place to hang out. The queue can be long but I suspect it’s because of its location ie not much decent brunch places around the uni. Great interiors — a raw industrial look with raw red bricks, complete with bike racks

Seven Seeds was a solid start to an early morning. Getting there before 9am was great because there was no queue and service was quick.
My dining partner and I enjoyed coffee and hot chocolate featuring Mork chocolate. What a delight! I dined on the bacon, eggs and waffles benedict, which I found to be savoury and filling. The hollandaise sauce was slightly better than most and the crisp waffles were a nice change from the normal sourdough muffins. I would highly recommend this dish!
The burger my friend got looked tasty as well. It had Wagyu beef and bacon, with another special sauce and a side of chips. It was quite a hearty selection for breakfast but a good choice.
The ambiance was clean and woodsy with high ceilings. There was a community feel with the large tables spread out, lots of room to host more patrons. I will definitely be back and will know better than to walk by again, as the sign is painted on the building, so look for it! :)

This place is always consistent with coffee and breakfast… One of the best. Coffee is all I’ve actually had here but Its, Spot on. Quality always remains on top.

We had the jerk chicken and the mushroom poached eggs.
Both dish were flavorsome and as we are health conscious, we thought these fish were healthy and tasty.
It was a bit hard to get street parking which was the downside!

Without question or doubt one of Melbourne’s best coffee locations. Been around for some time now with the same dedication, passion and commitment.

OK this was one of the best I have ever been to. They let you pick from beans before making your coffee so we were able to get something to our liking. I ordered mushrooms with celeriac purée and poached eggs, it was an absolute heaven. The purée was magic.
Ambience very hipster like but then again every restaurant in Melbourne’s Fitzroy/​Carlton area is like that.
Coffee was excellent, smooth, creamy with slight sweet kick to it.
Highly recommending to people and would go back for more. What’s cool is that other cafes in Melbourne buy beans from seven seeds so you can get the quality elsewhere.

This place was absolutely incredible! They had the best Nutella French Toast and coffee. The atmosphere was really neat and added to the experience.

Sourdough toast with bacon jam and a side of bacon. Just in case there wasn’t enough bacon…

This place was arguably a hard time to find but still SUPER PACKED, which was obviously a good sign so we agreed to wait in the quite warm, non– air conditioned, converted warehouse that is this café. Real neat atmosphere. So worth the search+wait because everything was yummy. Coffee was perfect. Will deff try to go back here.
But yeah, no air-​conditioning… Maybe try to get a seat by the window? I was okay with it after a while but my boyfriend was feeling rather uncomfortably warm during the entire delicious breakfast. Or maybe the air con near the door was just out that day. I don’t know. Food was good!

DEFINITELY go out of your way to make it to Seven Seeds. This café is world class in every way.
The service is unreal. During a huge Sunday brunch rush, the manager took his time to tell us all about the coffees we were about to try and even served us one on the house after he saw how excited we were. Lots of great, busy cafes have rushed and less than friendly service, but not Seven Seeds. It already stands out as something special the moment you walk through the door.
The coffee is obviously amazing. We had a ristretto, a long black, and a filter all of the same origin (but different roast for the filter.) The coffee is of course a stand out of some of the absolute best in Melbourne. Even with coffee order dockets pouring in, the baristas kept their cool and didn’t act like nobs when things got crazy. This is another stand out point. You’d be surprised how hard that is to witness in busy cafes…
The food is what surprised us most of all, with everything we’ve ordered any time we’ve been here being phenomenal. Simple breakfasts and unique lunch sanga specials are all served with perfection. I really can’t say enough good things about Seven Seeds. Just get here.

Seven seeds is a great café tucked away in the outskirts of CBD. A great pit stop for cyclers as racks are provided inside the café. We tried the smoked salmon served on crumpets with spinach purée and poached eggs. As well as the caramel crumpets. One of our fave meals in Melbourne.
Their coffee is also made in the garage next to the café and there’s a room for tasting sessions. You really can’t go wrong with the coffee here. They also serve it at brother baba budan in Melbourne CBD.

As you’ll be able to tell with most of my posts — I love coffee. And one of my favourite coffee blends around Melbourne is without a doubt Seven Seeds. Their coffee is consistently amazing, and very different to most blends going around without being over the top.
Going to the café where all the magic is done isn’t as amazing as I’d hope, but that’s probably as my affection for the blend is over the top. The coffee was still amazing! Had a Reuben sand which in one of my previous visits which too was great! The place is so busy however (I guess a burden of their own success), and not a great place to relax, especially if your a Melbourne Uni student looking to study.
I do however find myself back there often picking up a fresh batch of beans to use at home, where there’s a crazy range to choose for all methods of brewing!

Ich bin aufgrund der positiven Bewertungen dort hin gegangen. Von außen total unscheinbar aber tolle Atmosphäre drinnen.
Die Preise sind für Melbourne ok. Ich hatte auch das Ei auf englisch Muffin zum Frühstück und es war sehr gut angerichtet und sehr lecker.
Kann es nur empfehlen. Werde definitiv noch einmal hin :)

Firstly, any café that has bike parking just inside the front door, out of the rain has my vote!
Secondly, any café that lists «Coffee Butter» as an accompaniment to any dish on their menu as just set a new standard in coffee.
Lastly, if you roast your own coffee, then you better be able to make a good cup!
Now that we have that out of the way, Seven Seeds is hidden away in the back streets around Melbourne Uni so you will have to look for it. The coffee was, as you would expect, just perfect however, I would have love it if the waiter had told us more about what sort of coffee was on offer before we made our coffee order.
The food was great, a touch on the small side for the price but very very tasty! Crumpets with Coffee Butter is something you must try!
Beware of the hipster sound levels however, the concrete, brick and music do make for a rather noisy combination.

I’m going to go ahead and assume all the food at Seven Seeds is as good as my own breakfast today. Life changing comes to mind! I didn’t even know I liked pears and pecans but I though I’d give it ago and boy am I glad I did!
Delicious, fresh, Brioche French toast with poached pears and pecans *drool* washed down by hot chocolate! Sitting in a Cosy window seat watching the world go by! Seven seeds provides a lovely dining experience. It’s crowded but not uncomfortably so and the service was great, the guys here should be proud of what they do! FOOD MAGIC!

Two visits, two days, two friggen amazing experiences. This is probably one of, if not the only place in Melb-​town that I am giving 5 stars purely for coffee and superb staff. It takes a lot to impress this chicken little and boy did the Seven Seed staff exceed and excel.
Warmly welcomed by well presented staff, we were tended to swiftly. Quite a feat on a busy weekend. Our orders were taken with a smile and readily delivered high quality coffee.
The décor is a highpoint. It invites the eye to wander around the room. The internal bike rack is a great selling point.
Just a wee note, other than the delicious doughnut, a Matt Forbes creation, we didn’t get to try any food. One visit was purely coffee cake cheer me up, the other a much needed latte injection before tackling the QVM.

One of my favourite Melbourne coffee roasters, seven seeds does great coffee, fast and helpful service and delicious cakes (not baked on site though). The space has a converted warehouse feel and there is never too long a wait for a table if you don’t have a huge group.
The food menu changes every so often but usually is pretty poor fare for vegetarians, they will never modify a item off the menu either so your choices for non-​meat meals is pretty limited.
Having said that the coffee is what you go here for and the free coffee cupping sessions are fantastic. You have to do this at least once.

I just couldn’t bring myself to give Seven Seeds 4 stars. I wanted to do it but, thinking back on my poached eggs on toast and the breakfast menu in general, I couldn’t do it.
I like the décor though– reminds me a little bit of Axil in Hawthorn — open plan, colours and décor that work well together and lively atmosphere. The coffee is great as well — perfect for a coffee run if you live or work in the area.
Their breakfast menu did not impress me at all though and the actual dish (when you think about the price of it) was a bit disappointing.
I would return for the coffee though.

These guys are one of the top dogs in the Melbourne coffee scene, and for good reason. They’re always roasting and experimenting with new beans from around the world. They care about the industry and try to engage the community when it comes to new styles. Ask for a black coffee and they’ll suggest a single origin of the day. Want to try a filtered coffee? Ask them what they have on and then have it served with some tasting notes.
Coffee cupping sessions on Wednesday (9am) and Saturday (10am) are a great way to learn more. They’re free, so just rock up 5 minutes early and then have a go! You’ll be nerding on about acid and mouth-​feel in no time.
For me, this place is all about the coffee though. Of my dining experiences here I can’t say I’ve been thrilled. The muesli I had once was tired and boring — as if it had simply been picked up off the supermarket shelf. It came with a compote of fruit which tasted like defrosted frozen berries. The small glimmer of awesome was the «chai milk» but it wasn’t enough to save the dish and convince me I’d spent my money well.
Baked eggs are delicious, though the portions are smaller than what’s normally found elsewhere in Melbourne. This isn’t a bad thing (I think for we all eat way too much and food waste is appalling) but in terms of value, I think it’s just a tad overpriced when others offer up similar dishes at the same price and give you more than two eggs, a tablespoon of tomato sauce and a scattering of (I counted 8) beans.
Skip the food, go for the coffee.

Great little find next to Middle Fish Thai, menu looked good and coffee was excellent. You can tell these guys are experts and love their coffee, just look around at the coffee education décor and the cupping room.
My first long black was unfortunately off the mark, terrible crema with coffee flakes floating so I asked for a new one and they willingly obliged and apologised.
