Footscray Milking Station started as the hidden gem of Footscray but is now a popular haunt for locals and beyond since opening its doors in 2012.
Situated on the corner of Bunbury and Cowper Street, this cosy little café has old world retro charm, with just the right amount of modern flair to keep its punters coming back to eat delicious fare and drink good coffee whilst soaking up the afternoon sun that filters through the café.
With an intriguing and delicious menu, utilising local produce and serving up dishes with lots of International flavours, Footscray Milking Station is open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch.
