An unassuming local shopping strip in the inner north-western Melbourne suburb of Maidstone has been home to a great plant-based café for some years now. We’ve been regular customers since it opened and it managed to survive the pandemic. It continues to do well under a fairly recent change of ownership.
The coffee at One For The Crow has always been top notch. My last visit confirmed that this is still the case, pairing the reliable Allpress beans with Alternative Dairy Co’s oat milk to produce very smooth, chocolately and delicious drinks. I forced myself to drink two large oat lattes, just to be sure!
The food menu is also worth highlighting, comprising a great variety of fully vegan dishes. The meals here are generous and tasty, while frequent menu changes mean there’s always a surprise or two. The popular dishes can be relied upon to always make the cut, though.
Excellent coffee, friendly owners and yummy vegan food – a perfect combination!
(I failed to take photos on my last visit to this café so I’ve used the café’s own logo on this post.)
