Yes of course we're open on australia day for business as usual from 7.30am till 5pm (kitchen closes at 4pm) and no we're not taking bookings its first in bested dressed - having said that we turn tables over fairly quickly so there shouldnt be any problems getting seated

For that matter we're open right through the weekend too!

And we wouldnt be foxy if we didn't have some super special yummy coffees on offer so check out the following:

Mexico San Cristobel Terruno pure washed aribica

Honduras Fernández Cup of Excellence Lt 15 

and there's still a little bit of the El Salvador Adia Battle Selection - strictly limited and arguably one of the finest coffees you will ever taste!

They're all available for filter coffee in addition to our usual Sweet Marie's blend and changing assortment of sngle origin and single estate coffees!

Ok so it's the new year already - how did that happen?

We're back in full swing here at Foxy - as no doubt you are as well - and we've been busy behind the scenes fine tuning and refining what we do and scouring the globe to bring you the best seasonally harvested coffee that we can find!

And with the new year comes a few new changes as we welcome our NEW head chef, Elisa - yet another Kiwi who joins us after her extensive stint in the UK where she headed up some of the finest kitchens in the land

We welcome her contribution and hope that you will join with us in embracing the changes that her experience brings 

Expect to see more dailey specials on the menu board and in the cabinet as well

As expected our organic burgers -  organic beef burgers, marinated tofu burgers,  free range chicken burger, and haloumi burger - all lovingly prepared on Dench soughdough rolls - are taking off in a major way, and are just the thing for an afternoon snack or a takeaway meal (available till 4pm)

And our all day breakfast menu (till 3pm that is) featuring Frank's organic eggs, and free range bacon, among other things, is as popular as ever, and runs alongside our more savory items, such as soup, salad, zucchini fritters, and panini

Coffee and cake are available till 5pm daily 

In fact coffee forms a integral part of our offerings here at Foxy Brown - as on any given day we'll probably be running with several espresso blends, as well as a bunch of single estate coffees - AND filter coffee, which is roasted specifically for our unique Clever Coffee Dripper application, and then ground to order and individually hand crafted.  

For the uninitiated filter (or pour-over coffee as it is often refered to) uses (in our case) a paper filter to trap oils and acidity, and to allow the coffee to brew for a predetermined interval - which brings out and captures the aroma and unique charcateristics of the coffee's origins

Each cup is different and (hopefully) an unexpected pleasure - which in no way detracts from our excellent espresso-based offferings, but which offers welcome respite for those who, like me, suffer from 'palate fatigue' from drinking too much 'regular' coffee!

And with triple sized filter baskets and a double ristretto base standard for every espresso-based coffee that we make - our coffee packs a pleasurable punch, providing added bang for your buck!

And DEMTER certified biodynamic and unhomoginsed milk completes the picture - providing unsurpassed creaminess in every cup

And being located off the beaten track doesnt hurt either, positioned as we are opposite the train tracks on South Crescent, Westgarth (ok... some folks refer to it as Northcote, but what would they know?) - exactly half way between Dennis and Westgarth train stations on the Hurstbridge line

With plenty of parking available, we welcome little ones and have been listed in Melbourne's top ten family friendly cafes two years running!

And yes we have a change table and an enclosed rear courtyard (weather permitting) which is just the thing for the rug rats to run around in

And did I mention that we have free wireless internet?

So we look forward to seeing you soon at Brown Town for some awesome tunes, and yummy food, and coffee so good that you'll consider crossing town for it!
