Federal Coffee

Melbourne's Federal Coffee Palace has been reborn as Federal Coffee. Located under the archways of the historic GPO building, the 15-year-old coffee stop has expanded its offering to an upmarket brunch menu, with coffee in the mornings and cocktails in the afternoons.

The all-day brunch menu focuses on Melbourne favourites with a French twist. Think smashed avocado with comté cheese, eggs benedict atop pork terrine, or triple-cooked French toast with lavender crème Anglaise.

After something lighter to pair with your coffee or champagne? A selection of toasties and pastries are available too. Products from local suppliers include bottled cocktails from the award-winning Everleigh and coffee from Melbourne's Industry Beans.

Cafe hours: Monday to Sunday, 8am-4pm.
Kiosk hours: Monday to Wednesday, 7am-4pm; Thursday to Saturday, 7am-6pm; Sunday, 8am-4pm.
