Exceptional Coffee
Located just 5 minutes from Melbourne Airport, The Ninth Ave is a hidden little gem with a tight-knit bunch of regulars.

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.

Fantastic food, the best breakfast I think I've ever had. Service is a bit slow but so, worth the wait 😋Posted on Shiv11 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are a few reviews already discussing the exceptional service and my experience here was no different. Dined with my infant son and the staff were so kind offering me everything from a high chair to access to the parents room and even a little bed for him to nap in. They also checked on me throughout my meal and offered to help cut food for me though I politely declined. Had the eggs benedict off the recommendation by the lady who took my order and was surprised at how delicious it was. Easily the best benny I have had in Melbourne with room for margin. The coffee was also very good. Thank you very much for the excellent food and service Ninth Ave team! Update: just ate a Top Paddock eggs benny and not only was Ninth Ave’s better it was better by a huge margin. No contest.Posted on lucas peixoto8 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great food and very cozy atmosphere!
