Hector’s Corner is a must visit in Melbourne. Great coffee, food and friendly staff. This is the second year we have visited this establishment whilst visiting Melbourne from Perth and again it didn’t disappoint. Will definitely be back again. Thanks Hector and crew once again A++.

When you arrive you are greeted with a very warm welcoming. You know then you are in for a treat. No wonder that their reviews are all five star. The toasties are simply the very best not rock hard , soft and extremely tasty and filling. The coffee is superb. I would highly recommend visiting this cafe as obviously so do the locals . And they are also very dog friendly.
