Red Door Corner Store

Had a fantastic experience at Red Corner Store Cafe in Northcote! The food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding. Every staff member who served us was attentive and friendly, with a special shoutout to Lily, who looked after our table. Her warm smile, polite manner, and professional attitude truly made our day and are reason enough for us to return. There was also another young lady in a white T-shirt and apron who brought our coffee – unfortunately, I didn’t catch her name, but her friendly service added to the great experience. I ordered the Dukkah Eggs and a large strong latte, both of which were absolutely delicious. The eggs were perfectly seasoned, and the coffee was spot on – couldn’t have asked for more! Highly recommend Red Corner Store Cafe for anyone looking for excellent food and impeccable service in a cozy, welcoming space. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Always a pleasure having breakfast with the family at this place! Visited plenty of times, consistently fantastic food and great customer service that goes above and beyond most other places in this area. A very cozy vibe overall, however when it's busy it can get a bit loud and overstimulating given the seating layout - especially when other patrons bring along their crying children. I highly recommend any of their breakfast items as well as the burger. The tarts are also spot-on in terms of crust and filling and are always best when you can get them while they're fresh! The prices are balanced and reflect the effort that is put into each menu item, as well as their premium quality of ingredients. They also have great options for high-protein lovers and it's a great spot for post-workout nourishment! A few small notes for improvement though - The double espresso can sometimes be quite watery and acidic, which is understandable given the peak coffee-rush on most mornings which leads to a higher running temperature of the machine. The cold brew has also sometimes tasted a bit 'mossy' due to either the water that was used during production, or fridge/open air oxidation, or perhaps the overall flavour profile of the beans that are used. Some refinement on these items would make them amazing for the coffee purist crowd! As someone with heightened social anxiety, I thank you for being so hospitable and lovely towards myself and my family. The positive attitudes, attention and effort from the staff is always greatly appreciated.

Great little cafe and when I say little its more a reflection of the cozy feel than actual size! We were seated in the courtyard on a day when the weather was perfect for it. Our coffees, an almond cap and an iced latte were both perfect. I tried the shakahouka, perhaps one of the best versions in Melbourne - punchy flavours from the simmered sauce , the eggs baked to perfection with the sharp chorizo and goats cheese elevating the dish. My partner had the bircher with mango and passionfruit and I was told it was lovely. Plan to see us return team Red Door Corner Store!

Fell in love with when we went through the red door. Cozy, welcoming space with delicious coffee and food. We ordered the French Toast which has honest and not showy like other cafes these days. Not too sweet, tart and creamy with a maple to tie it all off. So looking forward to visiting again ❤️

📍Red Door Corner Store, Northcote This is such a beautiful cafe in Northcote that was absolutely bustling for a Saturday lunch. We shared a Reuben toasty which was absolutely delicious and the pesto chicken toasty which was also very delicious (each ~$14). The toasties were a decent size and nice and crispy. They were a little messy to eat as they were quite oily, but this is what makes them delicious imo. We also had some chips to share, and I loved how crispy they were and the rosemary salt that covered them. Overall 3.8 ⭐️ out of 5.
