Brother Alec

Story

One of the first coffee-focussed upstarts to venture north of Separation Street, Brother Alec is exactly what you wouldn't expect from a northside cafe on the hipster-heavy 86 tram line. As cool as Brother Alec may be, owners Jessica Moussi & Malia Sloman have made sure pretentious and unwelcoming it ain't. You're just as likely to see mums and colourful locals getting their daily coffee as you are coolkids on fixies hitting up the Lebanese and American inspired breakfast dishes, and all are welcomed with the same earnest enthusiasm.

That said, good service isn't much without great coffee and both are king here. Brother Alec use a fair-trade organic blend from Espresso Syndicate - a local micro-roaster - and the beans are extracted through a La Marzacco machine to deliver rich, nutty espressos and mellow tasting, picture-perfect lattes that still get you blazing. With Brunswick native, co-owner & head barista Jessica Moussi at the helm, you're in safe hands - she's been making coffee for years and consistently brings the rukus (if by rukus you mean well-crafted espresso coffee).

Some of the friendliest service you can find in the northern suburbs from the team at Brother Alec. Wish more cafes would aim for this standard. Setting means nothing without friendly service. I've driven 20 minutes out of my way on the way to golf just for their Breakfast Roll. Only place to put an omelette inside a bacon roll, tastes amazing! They offer Single Origin, Batch Brew as well with blends for white coffees from Speciality Coffee. Morning roll (with bacon and omelette) was perfect too, would definitely come back for it.

This cafe is amazing! There arent many like it in Melbourne. The owners and staff are exceptional - always friendly, always professional. The atmosphere is relaxed, warm and unpretentious. On top of all this the food and coffee is perfect. My biggest problem is trying not to always order their delicious HLAT.
