5 Melbourne brunch spots
1. Combi
Even if you haven’t visited this raw, organic cafe in person, we bet you’ve already salivated over their Instagram feed. Expect wholesome and lip-smackingly tasty juices, smoothies and breakfast bowls, as well as our personal favourite; a parfait of chia seeds soaked in house-made nut milk layered with nuts, berries, banana and house-made coconut cashew yoghurt served in a glass jar. There truly is #nofilter needed for these works of art.

3. Laneway Greens
Fancy a savoury brunch? With thoughtful flavour pairings and seasonal ingredients, Laneway Greens is a new take on the traditional salad bar and the perfect option for lazy weekends (or busy weekdays). Popular picks include the miso glazed salmon with nori, pickled cucumber, ponzu dressing (pictured above) and hot miso soup. If you’re feeling a little parched, they serve cold pressed juices and smoothies that are too good to miss.

4. Green Cup
Superfood smoothies, wholesome snacks, acai bowls and smashed avo are the superstars at the Green Cup. If you’re feeling a little naughty, we highly recommend the guilt-free hot choccie smoothie with antioxidant-rich raw cacao, cinnamon and almonds. Decadent and oh-so satisfying.
