A True Neighbourhood Gem! What a fantastic find! Dimples 231 cafe in Northcote is everything you want in a local cafe. The coffee is consistently excellent – you can tell the baristas know their stuff. I had the Chilli Scrambled Eggs, and they were perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of kick. The real standout, though, is the atmosphere. It’s so warm and welcoming, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, even when it's busy. It has a wonderful community feel. This has quickly become my new go-to spot in Northcote. Highly recommend!

What a charming cafe! My friend had the Asian scrambled eggs on sourdough. They said it was very tasty and filling. I had the french burger. The tastes of the mustard, caramelised onion, and cheese worked well together. The bun was easy to handle. We both had banana and cinnamon smoothies, one soy, one full milk. These were delightful. The cafe was clean and happy, the staff were friendly and accommodating. We are looking forward to returning. PS they love dogs, there is an outdoor window to order food with your dog at your side.

Great cafe with friendly staff. I had the mushroom toastie which was so good and well priced compared to other places. Frenchy burger and chips that my partner had were tasty and good value too - good place to visit after going to the Northcote Aquatic Centre around the corner. We’ll be back!
