Sweet Evelyn
π Brunswick, VIC
Relaxed Brunswick cafe with a leafy back courtyard, dedicated kids play nook, pet-friendly policy, and a full brunch menu. Known for house-baked pastries, generous burgers, and fresh cold-pressed juices.
This cafΓ© was recommended to me by a friend, and from the moment we walked in, I could see how thoughtfully it has been designed. Every need is considered β from being pet-friendly to accommodating families with kids. The staff were warm and welcoming, always smiling, and the cafΓ© truly felt like a community in itself. Many of the customers clearly knew each other, which was such a lovely and comforting sight. The food portions were generous and satisfying. I visited to celebrate my momβs birthday, and while I was clicking pictures, the owner must have noticed or overheard the occasion. Out of nowhere, he surprised us with a brownie and a candle, beautifully written with βHappy Birthday.β That thoughtful gesture truly made my day. We enjoyed warm, comforting coffee, and the prices were very reasonable for the quantity of food served. I highly recommend this cafΓ© for its heart, hospitality, and genuine warmth.
π Family Action Verdict
Best for families with young children who want a relaxed, unhurried brunch without leaving Brunswick. The kids play nook means parents can finish a coffee before it goes cold. Generous portions, house-baked pastries, and an attentive team make this a neighbourhood favourite for family groups β dog owners are welcome too.

βWe stopped by for brunch with my wife, the kids and our dog after not getting out together for a while, and it turned out to be such a good choice. The fresh cold pressed orange and watermelon juices were spot on. I had the crispy fried chicken burger and it was honestly one of the juiciest I have had in a long time. The chips were hot and properly crispy, and the portions were generous. My wife really enjoyed her smashed avocado on sourdough with poached eggs and feta. The staff were prompt and friendly, even when it got busy. Our dog settled in straight away and was welcomed comfortably. The kids found the toys and stayed happily occupied, which meant we could actually enjoy our lunch without rushing. Such an easy, relaxed experience. A genuinely great family and pet friendly spot. We will definitely be back.β

βVisited this cute local cafe over the weekend and it was buzzing with heaps of people. They offer an extensive menu with a variety of dishes, as well as a big cabinet full of pastries baked in house. We loved their brownie and their burgers. The burgers have a brioche bun and theyβre super generous with the sauce!! The cafe is pet friendly & kid friendly so the perfect spot for parents. Would visit again to try their other items πβ

βDelicious brunch spot! I Decided to stop into Sweet Evelyn today for brunch with some family and was very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and there were large portion sizes which were perfect for sharing food with others. The coffee and fresh juices that they served were also a highlight. We will definitely be coming back!β
