Tucked away in the heart of Carlton, this cozy cafe offers a relaxed setting that feels inviting whether you’re settling in with a laptop or catching up with friends over lunch. The space, with its vintage touches and warm atmosphere, welcomes a mix of solo diners, families, and small groups, along with their four-legged companions.
The menu leans comfortably into both hearty and casual options.

Burgers, including a double patty New York-style and a Portuguese chicken option, provide a filling lunch accompanied by chips and a drink. For something lighter or sweet, there’s a variety of baked goods like brownies, banana bread, and croissants with Nutella, alongside a well-curated coffee and tea selection.
Outdoors seating adds a relaxed vibe for those who enjoy fresh air while dining, and the range of amenities—from wheelchair accessibility to a kids’ menu and dog-friendly policy—reflects a thoughtful approach to different needs. Whether it’s a quick bite or a leisurely brunch, this spot offers a grounded, welcoming space in Carlton’s local scene.

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!

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!
