Vamoska Cafe

Altona North's hidden gem cafe: shakshuka, creative toasties, specialty coffee and fusion flavours.

A quirky, intimate space in Altona North with a cosy, curated feel. described consistently as a hidden gem and a surprise discovery. A small number of tables inside, a kid's corner with books and blocks, and a warm personal atmosphere from the small team. By evening it transforms into Big Bear Kitchen, a separate dinner concept with burgers and wings.

Dual concept venue. Vamoska Cafe by day and Big Bear Kitchen by evening (burgers, chicken wings, pork rack, prawn tempura po boy); an exceptional specialty coffee program featuring MCT bulletproof coffee, pink chai, sweet potato latte and matcha latte; owner has been known to prepare off-menu Indian dishes for guests; gluten-free options available; WiFi; kid's corner; listed on Too Good To Go; plenty of on-site parking.

A genuine Australian-Indian fusion. the owner's Indian culinary background surfaces in the off-menu specials, historic Indian buffet (discontinued), and dishes like shakshuka, pani puri and samosa chaat. The cafe menu has evolved but the Indian influence remains a defining thread.

Praised as very cost-effective for the quality and creativity on offer. The Indian buffet was $20 per person. Specialty drinks are reasonably priced. One reviewer flagged $14 for a ham and cheese toastie as steep. the more creative menu items offer better value.
