A Husband (Cafe) You Can Get Around

Husband café in South Yarra was another one of our randomly-generated picks out-of-a-hat that turned into a wonderful morning experience.

We trekked down from home and were greeted by some of the friendliest (I’d even push to say the friendliest) greetings that we’ve had at a café yet! Definitely got the real “welcome-home-honey” vibes!

The food was very friendly too the wallet and the coffee brewed up hit the spot. We ordered the Pork and Fennel sausages, inspired by trying something out of our norm, and they were absolutely delicious.

Our stop was brief, but the warm memory of their staff and breakfast remains!

If you are one who frequents Prahan Markets, then I recommend taking the short walk east towards Husband on your next trek.

When we opened the door, they greeted us with a huge smile and told us to pick whichever seat we liked and enjoy our coffee time. Such, such friendly staff.

The interior is simple and stylish. Plants hang from the ceiling, and light pours into the cafe.

I ordered an almond latte and the pork and fennel sausages.

At Melbourne cafes, a meal for one is about $22 to $28 on average. (My personal sense, July 2023.)

The food here is on the cheaper side, about $5 less than at other cafes.

Out came the pork and fennel sausages, with a generous serve of coleslaw.

The coleslaw was topped with pickled red onion and zucchini, and I polished it off. The sausages were delicious too.

A good cafe sparks ideas and gets the conversation flowing.

After enjoying a chat for a while, we left.

It’s a special cafe that feels reassuring, the kind you’d want as your regular.
