Half Moon Cafe

Coburg's cult Egyptian falafel counter. fresh fava-bean ta'ameya wraps made to order.

Tiny alfresco-only laneway cafe with 2-seater tables. order-at-counter energy and a loyal walk-up crowd, not a sit-down dining room.

Falafel made fresh to order from fava beans (not chickpeas) in-house, served with housemade-tasting dips, pickles and chillies as palate cleansers, plus dietary customisation for vegan and other needs.

Family-owned Egyptian business spanning generations, serving traditional ta'ameya (fava-bean falafel) distinct from the more common chickpea-based Lebanese style.

Generally rated great value at $10-14 per wrap and around $26 for the open falafel plate, though one reviewer flagged the smaller add-ons (extra tahini, individual falafels) as overpriced.
