Hangar Coburg North Cafe Restaurant
180 Gaffney StreetWalking distance, open until 9 pm seven days.
Classic Italian deli and bakery, serves good coffee. A local institution with a long history - one of the first Italian delis in Melbourne. From Weekend Notes: "O'Hea's is a panificio (bakery), pasticerria (cake-store), formaggeria (cheese store) and salumeria (cold meat deli). With their coffee machine whirring away all day and busy sandwich bar, they're a popular café and lunch stop as well."

Probably the best barista coffee in the area. Small, quirky room with an al fresco out the back. Just over the road from the Lincoln Mills Homemaker Centre (Bunnings, Office Works, etc).

Another great local place - good for breakfast, lunch and coffee. A little further away from our place, but worth checking out. Fairly new to the area, but already built a great name for itself. From the team at 'Cheeky Monkey' in Richmond and the 'Rubber Duck' in Clifton Hill.

An amazing, very trendy new place, with awesome ice cream and gelati. Well worth a visit! Try the Buffalo Milk ice cream. About 3km from our place - a good chance to enjoy the ice cream and walk off the calories!
