In Melbourne, healthy need not mean lacking in deliciousness when it comes to cafes. Good food made from healthy ingredients can taste truly sublime. Whether you are a yoga bending devotee or someone simply seeking better health, there is nothing quite as good as ethically sourced soul food, brimming with nutrients. Think organic produce, gluten free, paleo-diet, clean food, green sprout crunch and raw food. Here you will find plenty of sugar-free options, no doubt approved by your local Melbourne dentist. Healthy café food has come a long way since the Moosewood Cookbook days and patchouli infused hippie chick waitresses. Melbourne’s healthiest cafes have got you covered for great coffee, delicious dishes, and loads of alternative options.
