The Ninth Ave.
Exceptional Coffee
Located just 5 minutes from Melbourne Airport, The Ninth Ave is a hidden little gem with a tight-knit bunch of regulars.
Step into the inviting cafe ambiance and take a deep breath. The aroma of specialty-roasted coffee will breathe life into you, and you’ll be greeted like an old friend. It’s the perfect location for business meetings, or an intimate place to connect with friends and family.
Our menu
Delicious Dishes, Exceptional Coffee
With food freshly prepared on the premises, the all-day menu at The Ninth Ave is made up of modern-Australian food with a classic twist. Standout dishes include the Benedict on Rosti, with housemade potato rosti, smoked ham hock, two perfectly poached eggs, and hollandaise. Or the Smashed Avo with heirloom tomato, whipped feta, soft baby herbs, and seed crisp. You’ll be tempted to try our whole menu.
Our barista-made coffee is a specialty-blend sourced from Roasting Warehouse: sharp, full-bodied, with hints of syrupy, rich dark chocolate.

Robert Aziz16 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What makes Ninth Avenue a great venue to visit again and again is the exceptional service! From the moment you are greeted, you feel very welcome, even when they are very busy, they do not compromise their customer service standards. Many cafes/restaurants fail badly at that but not here. Most definitely worth a visit by everyone and anyone. Jack Gorgis14 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
