Zumbo Cafe is already very well known for their bakery, Fancy Nance high tea and of course the ice cream donuts!  And, the breakfast selection is a great addition.

Set in a big, classy building on the trendy Flinders Lane, it screams inner city Melbourne.  And, the new mid-winter breakfast menu is the perfect way to start the business day.
