flinch coffee & play

Mamma has just discovered one of the coolest family-friendly cafés in Northcote, and we couldn’t wait to share it! Flinch Coffee & Play is the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal while having fun with the whole family, thanks to owner Tammy and her incredibly warm, welcoming team who truly understand families. There’s never a dull moment here, with board games, Mario Kart and Pokémon family nights, plaster painting, and plenty of Japanese character favourites to admire. The all-day menu is just as impressive, featuring everything from bao buns and Japanese soba noodle salad to cauliflower fritters, with the real standout being the fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes served with a range of sauces and toppings like fresh fruit, homemade ice cream, and sorbet. If you’re looking for a café that combines great food with fun and memorable family experiences, Flinch Coffee & Play is an absolute must-visit.
