Serotonin Eatery

Top choice in Melbourne


This plant-based cafe (eggs and feta are on the menu, but a lot is vegan) on the cusp of Richmond is centred on happiness – the joy that comes from seeing a coconut 'Magnum' in your galaxy açaí bowl, sitting on indoor swings or sunken cushioned seating sipping an iced gingerbread latte, and from how smug you feel after filling 'positive pancakes'. Kids' menu available.
