Cafe
•Stovetop Carlton. Is it Carlton’s Cheers? Maybe? Without implying Ted Danson and Shelley Long hang out here, Stovetop definitely is the kind of neighbourhood spot where “everyone knows your name”. And if not name, then definitely your coffee order. Stovetop is cosy, warm, and inviting, and boasts a menu ridiculously stocked with delicious goings-on. Inside, Stovetop is as easy-on-the-eye and cosy as one would expect an immediately-well-loved new Carlton cafe to be. Slightly rustic, slightly filled with a well-designed modern interior, and definitely smells delicious. You know the drill, coffee machine pumping, new cakes and slices made daily, crazy busy during lunchtime, a loyal following. Combine that with the fact that the space is a delightful spot for a function, and you’ve got yourself a winner. Stovetop is found on Leicester Street, Carlton. Near Melbourne University, that’s between Queensberry and Pelham Streets. The 19 and 59 trams will get you nearby, as well as all the trams that roll up and down Swanston Street.

Stovetop is a stylish café offering a typical Melbourne brunch menu with some Asian, Italian and middle-eastern touches and a cabinet of sweet and savoury croissants, sandwiches, pies and slices. I had the benny that was light and tasty. The long black was dark and bitter - in a good way. The service very attentive and friendly. A nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating options.
Amazing cafe in Carlton with great menu. Super friendly staff. Coffee is well balanced. I recommend the Chermoula Mushrooms. Great place for brunch or lunch.
I celebrated my 30th birthday and my business turning one at The Stovetop, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. With just a week’s notice, the team went above and beyond to organise everything flawlessly. The atmosphere was so welcoming, the customer service was exceptional, and the staff were attentive to every single detail — they truly didn’t let me lift a finger all night. My friends and I had the most amazing time. I can’t recommend this place enough and will absolutely be hosting all my future events here!
The menu at Stovetop feels like it’s from a different universe—in the best way possible. A true fusion experience, where you can jump from Nasi Goreng to pasta to Mexican food, all in one sitting. We were greeted with a warm smile and friendly chit-chat before ordering, setting the tone for a cozy and vibrant atmosphere throughout. Next time, it’s coffee and breakfast on the agenda. Thanks, Stovetop. Loved it.
@stovetopcafe is a cafe towards University Square/ Melb Uni📍 I love the natural light in this cafe 😍 we enjoyed the nasi Goreng and the baked eggs. Both dishes were so good! All dishes including the cauliflower salad were so generous! We went on a day where they were understaffed and they were so busy with takeaway orders 🥲 the barista and floor staff were out due to covid. We still really enjoyed our meal and coffees- mum really enjoyed the NasiGoreng 😄. Super wholesome. ♥️☀️ 🍳☕️
