Big Elma

Coburg's neighbourhood gem. potato toastie, Basque cheesecake and coffee in a courtyard haven.

Warm, slightly eccentric neighbourhood café with a lived-in cosiness. cute courtyard, community feel and the kind of place where staff remember your order. A haven for post-walk coffee or lingering weekend brunch. Friday evenings bring a more convivial dinner energy with burgers and drinks.

Potato toastie featured on Postcards TV; Thursday-only focaccia not available otherwise; Friday evening dinner service with burgers and cocktails; functions and off-site catering (birthdays, events); eco-friendly takeaway packaging; artisan cups with local artist work; courtyard frequented by a local possum.

Distinctly Melbourne neighbourhood café culture at its best. seasonal Australian produce, European baking influences (Basque cheesecake, focaccia, hot chocolate), and a community-first ethos that runs through the menu and the space.

Honest café pricing for homemade quality. toasties, cakes and seasonal dishes priced fairly for Coburg. The Basque cheesecake and miso cookie represent exceptional value for the craftsmanship involved.
