What Are The Most Instagrammable Cafes In Melbourne?

9 Most photogenic Melbourne cafes 

To tell the truth. These days, it's common practise to snap a photo of your meal before digging in. It helps if the dish is already photogenic so that you only have to worry about taking a good photo, choosing the right filter, and writing a clever caption.

We've all been to a café for the Instagrammable atmosphere rather than the food. To save you time from scouring the web or following random people's feeds, we've compiled a list of cafes in Melbourne where you can take a picture-perfect selfie with your food, drinks, and cutlery.

Top Paddock

Instagram posts of Top Paddock's famous hotcakes flood my feed, giving the eatery an almost mythical status. Having opened the wildly popular Three Bags Full and the even more popular Two Birds One Stone before settling on Top Paddock as their best café, owners are no strangers to the industry.

Lots of natural light floods the spacious interior, which also features cutting-edge furniture and decor crafted from reclaimed materials. All of the dishes on the menu are made with fresh, local ingredients and showcase the chef's creativity. Both form and function, in terms of taste, are valued highly here.

Ascot Food Store

Donuts! Donuts dusted with powdered sugar and served hot with a plunger of fresh made custard wedged in the centre. I don't think I've ever seen a doughnut that deserved an Instagram post more than that one. On the other hand, keep this in mind. I went there around lunchtime, and all the sweets had already been bought up.

Many of the entrées are also worthy of an Instagram post, in addition to the desserts. A beautiful renovated home, the café features sleek modern touches like black floors and wooden communal tables.

Operator25

It's only been two years, but this little cafe in a residential area has already become a favourite among the locals. It's in a converted phone line with exposed brick walls and communal tables for a cosy atmosphere reminiscent of the old days of dialling.

Brunch is a speciality, and the menu is always changing to make the most of the season's offerings and to give diners something new to try each time they come. Dishes like pickled ginger and poached soy egg add a global twist to fall favourites like congee. The latte art here is just as impressive as the food.

Addict Food & Coffee

Since it was opened by two well-known former. St. Ali chefs, it's no surprise that this new café in Fitzroy has quickly become a staple of the local community. There's more going on inside this seemingly ordinary café than meets the eye. Even the tiniest morsel of this food is beautifully presented.

N2 Gelato

This unusual ice cream, which is often featured in Instagram posts, is frozen using nitrogen gas. From time to time, whipped cream or meringue is piled high atop the ice cream.

Pana Chocolate

The chocolates can be found at many stores, but if you really need to satisfy your sweet tooth, you should head on over to their flagship café. Share photos of these tasty treats on Instagram without guilt.

Pana Chocolate's raw vegan dessert recipe is what gives its layered cakes their signature rainbow of colours, and they're a big deal. The many compartments of the case can be easily seen when displayed. Plus, if you're looking for a sweet treat to round out your nutritious meal, they stock a wide variety of artisanal.

Pillar Of Salt

Pillar of Salt has been around for quite some time, but it is only in recent years that its delicious food and fragrant coffee have made it a popular cafe. The café's earthy vibe comes from the exposed stone walls, open air courtyard, greenery, and wide-open layout.

Seasonal menu items tend to be photogenic and therefore popular on social media platforms. The American buttermilk pancake and desserts of any kind are all fan favourites.

Auction Rooms

This converted factory, located far from the madding crowds, has been named one of Melbourne's best cafes year after year. The openness of the building is the first thing that people notice when they step inside the blue brick building.

Cafe patrons can enjoy the sense of expansiveness afforded by the building's setting: a vast warehouse with multiple stories and large windows. When compared to the dark timber walls and concrete floor, the warm glow of the pendant lights is quite appealing.

It's easy to see why this place is a favourite amongst the locals; the menu is always changing and the food looks like works of art on the plate but tastes even better. A board for breakfast and French toast are just two of the brunch specials available at this welcoming restaurant.

Tall Timber

There's something reassuring about the way Tall Timber mixes modern and rustic styles. The white stone walls, outdoor seating, and profusion of potted herbal plants in the courtyard make for a picture-perfect setting.

PRO-TIPS:

It's greater to have too many options than not enough, so try to see things from as many angles as possible. Try a variety of different camera angles, including a horizontal, side angle, or elevated angle, and play around with the depth of field by focusing on various objects on the table.

Use whatever is available; the cafe's decor, your table, your friend's food, as well as your coffee could all serve as backdrops. Play around like the focus and pay close attention to the frame you've created.

Problems, decide whether or not to photograph any leftovers. In accordance with this, coffee is served either before or after the meal. A half-full coffee next to a freshly served variety of dishes is not ideal for creating the desired "flat-lay" aesthetic.

If you want to make your Instagram post look its best, use the built-in editing tools and filters to play around with the lighting, contrast, and other aspects of your photo. Obviously, there are situations in which the use of filters is unnecessary (which is fantastic news!)

Simple things like the name of the dish or the name of the cafe you took the photo in can make for a great caption. It's recommended that you use hashtags if you're the type of person who does so.

This is a post for you, but it's also an ode to the cafe for creating edible works of art that you can show off to the world.
