Tucked away in the quiet stretch of Carlton Parade, this cafe offers a relaxed spot to enjoy thoughtfully made breakfasts and casual lunches. The mood inside is cosy with a touch of vintage charm — imagine mint green walls and stained wood shelves setting a calm, welcoming backdrop. Whether you’re stopping by for a latte or settling in with your laptop, the atmosphere feels easygoing and unhurried.
People come here for straightforward, hearty plates like scrambled eggs with chorizo and cheese-filled mushrooms, or something lighter like smashed avocado topped with feta and dukkah. The coffee is a draw in itself, with options that include soy cappuccinos and well-pulled lattes alongside a solid tea selection. If you’re more of a nibble person, small plates and quick bites such as waffle fries or sausage rolls offer satisfying choices without fuss.
The spot suits a mix of diners—solo visitors looking for a quiet nook, families appreciating the kids’ menu and dog-friendly setup, and small groups gathering for a casual feed. The outdoor seating lets you soak up the calm Carlton neighborhood vibe on sunny days, while the wheelchair accessibility and free street parking make it an easy option for many.
With quick takeaway and delivery on offer, it manages to feel both grounded in its local surroundings and convenient for those on the go. All in all, it’s the kind of place you might return to when you want food and drink that feel genuine rather than overly styled, served in a spot where the pace simply invites you to linger a little longer.

5 Decided to check out this local cafe because it had five star reviews. I must say, they deserve it. The hearty breakfast was glorious; cheese filled mushrooms, tomato chutney, and chorizo - so good - alongside skillfully cooked scrambled eggs, and tasty, crispy bacon. Definitely coming here again with my family or friends.
5 Our furry friends don't lie. The food in Sweet Marie smell so good that my furry friend Lilly was so attracted to them. Nice coffee too. While Lilly was obsessed with their sausage rolls, I personally like their chicken Banh Mi.
5 A cute little cafe that looks straight out of the 70s with mint green walls and stained wood shelves. The staff and service are top notch and the cafe is doggo friendly. The breakfast is great! The cheesy mushrooms was a delicious surprise! The New York burger was cooked perfectly, very juicy and full of great flavours. Well worth the visit and we'll be back!
4 Sweet Marie’s Cafe is a friendly family-owned cafe that caters to great coffee and simple but delicious food. Pricing is very affordable.
5 If you're looking for delicious home cooked meals and excellent coffee in Carlton, look no further than Sweet Marie's. This cozy cafe, conveniently located close to the station, is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. During my recent visit to Sweet Marie's, I ordered the big big breakfast and the bacon and egg roll, and I was blown away by the quality of the food. The big big breakfast was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, with perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, savory sausages, and tasty toast. The bacon and egg roll was equally impressive, with a soft bun, flavorful bacon, and a perfectly cooked egg. What sets Sweet Marie's apart, though, is the attention to detail and the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making sure that everything was just right. The coffee was outstanding, too, with a rich, full-bodied flavor that was the perfect complement to my meal. Overall, I can't recommend Sweet Marie's highly enough. If you're in the area, be sure to stop by and experience the delicious food, excellent coffee, and warm hospitality for yourself. You won't be disappointed!
