**LOCATION**
Vertue café can be found in a tucked-away alley off Elgin Street, next to the Shell petrol station (Coles Express) at the corner of Lygon and Elgin. To reach it, walk through the alley by the petrol station, go to the end, and turn right. You'll discover a small laneway with outdoor seating, partially sheltered by colorful umbrellas. Upon entering the café, it may be a bit dim, but the inviting aroma of freshly roasted coffee will welcome you, especially if you love coffee. As you venture further inside, you'll notice a large coffee roaster in the center, with two seating areas on either side offering pleasant natural light.

If you’re after a peak Melbourne experience then Vertue is a great place to visit. The cafe is in a beautifully converted warehouse in a semi-hidden location follow the cute signs , they roast and sell their own fantastic coffee their filtered was the best I’ve had! and serve really interesting dishes with super unique flavours.<br/ <br/ We had the Chai Pannacotta $16 with wattleseed vegan granola, stewed rhubarb, Granny Smith apple compote and cinnamon crisps.

And the super interesting Caramel Corn French Toast $21 with espresso soaked brioche topped with sweet corn ice cream, sal...
On a sunny day, who wouldn’t want to spend it brunching at Vertue Coffee in Carlton. With the smell of coffee and amazing food I was put in a good mood immediately. <br/ <br/ I went for the ‘Pea Smash’ with minted smashed peas, sourdough grain toast, hummus, toasted pepita and dukkah. I loved he sourdough as it was perfectly crunchy on the ended and soft in the middle. It worked so well with the smashed peas and runny poached egg. I seriously did not want this dish to end. <br/ <br/ My friend went for the ‘Inca Salad’ which was made up of Organic quinoa, pickled cauliflower avocado, cashew cheese, shredded kale, sweet corn, baby carrot and toasted pepita. The perfect summer dish. <br/ <br/ T...
We visited Vertue Coffee for breakfast on a Tuesday, and finding the cafe was quite a challenge since it’s truly tucked away. However, the experience was absolutely worth the effort once we discovered it.
Stepping inside was a delightful experience; I really loved the entire atmosphere.
We started with the Pea Smash, which was a fantastic vegan option bursting with vibrant green goodness.
Then we savored their unique take on Eggs Benny, which was out of this world. The dish featured Mac N Cheese croquettes, ham hock, and perfectly poached eggs—truly a dream come true and incredibly delicious. I highly recommend it!
To top off our meal, we enjoyed a beautifully crafted Panna Cotta resti...

WOW! We had a great experience at Vertue Coffee.<br/ <br/ Loved the décor and layout, so bright and light and beautiful. <br/ <br/ The coffee is amazing too. I tried a Cold Brew top notch. <br/ <br/ My lunch dish was divine!! I tried the Super Greens with added tofu. There was coconut tzatziki and pumpkin hummus with loads of greens. The flavours were great and it was so filling! <br/ <br/ You gotta visit this place if you're in Carlton!
I typically go for the 'Truffle Mushroom Toastie,' as it's probably the best value dish on the menu. I can't recall the exact price, but I spent under $15, which included a lovely cup of latte. The addition of curly fries on the side was a fantastic bonus! The toastie itself was quite tasty, although I suspect they don’t use real truffle; it still had that delightful truffle aroma. I highly recommend a visit!
Follow the sign and it will lead you to coffee. I absolutely loved my visit to this cafe the presentation was amazing and the upstairs seating definitely makes it more relaxed and private. Coming downstairs afterwards the place was full which is a great sight. My only negative is signage isn't grest as you need to know about this place otherwise you won't stumble upon it.
Overall M loves this place. She admits she probably won't order the harissa eggs next time. This is. a big statement for M who had me going to the same restaurant, for the same. udon noodle soup, for two years, before I finally snapped. The harissa eggs were not such a dish for her –. nice to try but only once with so many other vego options on the menu. She loved

Coffee at the corner with great options. Loved their decor. Must visit place for a cafe explorer
Coffee was good while the food wasn’t.
