Tucked in a residential pocket of Ringwood, Common Room is your go-to haven for a brekkie or lunch fix that hits all the right notes. This cosy local gem serves up all the Melbourne classics — think smashed avo, chilli scramble, and hearty sandwiches that’ll make you a repeat customer. And for the littlest foodies?

They’ve got Mini Me Waffles, kids size brekkie roll, and a kids fried chicken burger that might just keep them from swiping your chips (though let’s be real, probably not).

While the inside is snug and inviting, grab a seat out the front if you want to spread out. With plenty of larger picnic style tables, it’s the perfect spot to soak up some rays while you enjoy your meal. Just be sure to keep an eye on any escape artists, as the cafe sits near the main road.
