Omo Café

  • Restaurant

Omo Café is a hidden gem tucked away in a Melbourne laneway, serving Japanese-inspired brunch and dinner alongside specialty coffee and premium Uji matcha.

Whether you’re craving comforting katsu, rich mazesoba, or a relaxing pour-over, their menu blends Japanese tradition with a modern café twist. Start your day with a hand-whisked matcha, or wind down at night with warm dishes and curated drinks. A selection of Japanese alcohol, including draft beer, highballs, and more is available. Don’t miss the house-made sweets, including canelés, cakes, and cookies, baked fresh in-store.

Omo is a welcoming space where foodies and coffee lovers can enjoy all-day dining with flavour, warmth and character.
