Elephant Cafe Newport

Such a gorgeous place especially if your spirit animal is Elephants. Absolutely beautiful stunning place! Well setup, lots of seating available indoors and outdoor. Clean bathroom outside as well. Such gorgeous decor. Food was yum, and coffees were delicious. Customer service is exceptional very welcoming and great staff!!

Came for brunch on a weekend to see what all the fuss was about a day the Cafe certainly didn't disappoint. The menu options had good variety and we settled on the salmon routine and muesli. Both dishes were top quality and coffee also hit the spot. We loved that we could bring the pooch and sit in the sunny outdoor area. Service was super friendly and overall vibe was on point.

There’s a lot of pressure on cafes to deliver outstanding food with great customer service and Elephant cafe hit the nail on the head on both elements. The wait staff were incredibly patient when dealing with our group of 12 sitting on the outside tables. We all ordered a variety of things on the menu with the Rosti’s being most popular. Pork, Salmon and Vege! Awesome portion sizes were welcome and the coffees were terrific! Highly recommend.

Best Cafe. Came here with family friends for breakfast. The servings are huge, fresh and always spot on. Coffees, cold/hot are out of this world. Just beautifully creamy smooth and great kick start to our day. Can't fault this Cafe at all. The staff are all amazing. Rob always makes us feel welcome and always know our order. Excellent job guys keep it up. Highly recommend this Cafe.

So glad I found this place on my holidays from work. I will definitely be returning on weekends and when I can. I love the atmosphere, sitting outside with birds chirping and listening to the Cafe music. There is a playroom down the side, which I haven't checked out. But great to see so many young families enjoy coffee and treats here. Also accessible public toilets. Updated 31/12/2023 I finally had brunch here today. Undeniably the best poached eggs and avocado. Very generous serving and such good quality that I don't want to brunch anywhere else.

Great place amongst the neighbours. Coffee is delicious/- not bitter at all. We had Cappuccino &: double shot latte with Skim Milk. Didn't have any food this morning because we just ran out of time...but...was well worth stopping in. Highly recommend & a must visit..parking can be a little tricky but worth the effort. G

The staff are so friendly and helpful. The food and drinks are excellent. Also very baby friendly, with a great little toddler playground in the rear of the cafe, including tables for outdoor loving customers. I can't fault this cafe. Well done guys.

The Elephant in Newport is, despite the name, actually not that hard to find. No map, no compass, no dramatic trek—just follow the smell of garlic-kissed tomatoes and Melbourne-level coffee and you're there. Disappointing for those hoping for a full Indiana Jones experience, but a win for breakfast lovers. Let’s talk food. The mushrooms? Small, delightful, and clearly living their best sautéed life. Eggs scrambled like they read the textbook on fluff. Tomatoes with a flirt of garlic—just enough to whisper “I’m fancy,” not scream it across the plate. And the spicy sausage? Oh, it’s got kick. One minute you're calmly enjoying your breakfast, next minute it’s staging a full takeover of your taste buds. Not aggressive enough to file a complaint, but definitely bold enough to remind you it exists. You’ve been warned. Service is classic Melbourne: friendly, casual, and probably owns a keep cup. Coffee? Genuinely excellent. Worth getting out of bed for—and I don’t say that lightly. In short: The Elephant may not be hidden, but the quality of this breakfast is a rare find. No maps needed, just an appetite.
