Birdcage Altona Cafe - Hobsons Bay

I'm not a local, but met others here for brunch. It was a lovely surprise. Great food and coffee and friendly,efficient service. A great, local cafe.

If you are ever in Altona, love a great coffee served by the most friendly & attentive staff and enjoy a very inventive menu then Birdcage in Harrington Square near Westona railway station is a must visit. It is little wonder it had become a favourite with the locals.

Found this place to be very pleasant in appearance and inviting. Staff were friendly and never pretentious which makes everything better. We had beef burgers that looked sensational but the buns were a bit dry and the meat patties a little dry. This burger needs more sauciness, but it comes with a yummy side sauce for the chips so that went into my burger and made it that much better. The chips were delicious and my French earl grey love tea was very special. The decor and staff are very inviting but the front door blowed open all the time so with the concrete floors and rustic tables and chairs it feels cold. I wouldn't want to head there on a cold morning for breakfast. As a suggestion, how about providing some cozy blankets for our laps for those draughty days, this might warm it up a little. Overall we were happy with the place.

Ive visited Birdcage a few times in the last month or so with a couple of different friends.Coffee is good (they're open from 6.30am so I can gratefully get a good coffee first thing before work) The food has been good, last time was a bit bland but other times very nice. Be great to have more vegan food on the menu (scrambled tofu etc) Friendly staff, this is now becoming a busy little cafe! Well done!

Called into this cafe on Sunday whilst out walking and were pleasantly surprised. We decided to try an egg and bacon roll with our coffee. Egg was probably not cooked long enough for my liking but the rest of it was good, served on brioche bun. Coffee was good and we were served by a very pleasant young lady.
