Amazing vegan cafe, with beautiful food and great coffee (no dairy milk).

Our favourite cafe in Footscray. Light-filled, calm and surrounded by veggie patches - the staff are lovely and the coffee is always on point.

Originally opened as "Olympic Donuts" during the Melbourne Olympics in 1956, the hot jam donuts are a staple of Footscray culinary culture. The coffee is okay, I often grab a takeaway from Rudimentary and 2 donuts.

Great for a walk by the Marinynong river, through wetlands and the large valley. There's even a bouldering wall under one of the bridges!
