Sanctuary & Co

I had the French toast—so yum! It came with lots of fresh fruit and a heavy pour of maple syrup (which I didn’t mind). The staff were really friendly and the café has such a cute, cozy vibe.

This is a standout cafe. Firstly, best coffee in Hawthorn, easily. But also the vibe. I stop for a takeaway coffee every time I drive through Hawthorn. It's always always smiles and good moods and friendliness!! The coffee is standout and the one meal I had here (one of the bowls) was also amazing. Highly recommend.

My partner and I had breakfast here this morning. We hadn’t booked but the staff were super accomodating and managed to get us a table before the busy rush. The coffee was sooooo good and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the Benedict and the chilli scrambled. Definitely recommend both these dishes! The service was really friendly and quick too. Overall a great experience and we’ll definitely dine here again!

My son and I enjoyed an amazing breakfast at Sanctuary & Co and are certain to return. The servings were very generous, tasted delicious and the presentation outstanding. The owner (Dara) is a gentleman and his staff are exceptionally professional and polite. Highly recommended!

This is a local community café with delicious, thoughtfully prepared food, great coffee, and genuinely warm, welcoming service, not forgetting its laid-back atmosphere and positive vibes all around, wonderful!

Lovely cafe with good seating options, great service, great menu, the chicken sandwich was nice, but overpriced in my opinion for what you get. Turmeric latte was okay, but a serving of honey on the side would have made it great!

Found this nice cafe along Auburn road, not far from Auburn station. Friendly and helpful staff with yummy Japanese fusion dishes like panko prawn sandwiches, rice bowl and Japanese curry, also chilli scramble with a touch of southeast Asian sambal. Coffee’s pretty good too! Clean and cozy seating fronting Auburn Rd or pet friendly seatings by roadside or at the back. Overall a great breakfast/brunch experience, well recommended. We will be back with our friends.

Small local dog friendly café with outdoor patio seating. Enjoyed the smoothie $11: doesn't taste as sugary sweet like Boost's. Unsure if they add sorbet like Boost. The staff that served us was friendly and checked in to make sure everything was good without being overbearing.
