About Dixie Cafe Caulfield North
Dixie Cafe is a neighbourhood cafe in Caulfield North that leans into homemade food and good coffee, with a menu that reads closer to a Middle Eastern bakery cafe than a standard brunch spot. Locals talk about the shakshuka first: eggs cooked in a slightly spicy sauce, served with soft bread. The boreka breakfast gets a mention too for anyone after something savoury and baked. One regular said the shakshuka took them straight back to a small cafe in Tel Aviv, which tells you something about how authentic it tastes.
Beyond the baked goods, the menu covers chicken schnitzel sandwiches and wraps, a Reuben, toasties, salads and hot chips that people say come out properly crisp and salted. There are pastries and cakes to go with a coffee, and we've heard the biscoff cheesecake is a favourite. Vegetarian and vegan options are on offer, and the coffee has plenty of fans, including a frappe that one local calls the best around.
Value is a recurring point of local praise. People say the sandwiches are priced well for the quality, and one family reported a full meal with dessert for a modest bill. Staff come across as friendly and accommodating; one visitor asked for a ham, egg and cheese croissant that wasn't on the menu and the kitchen made it happen. We've heard the odd complaint about service and coffee on a busy day, so expect weekends to be lively.
Dixie Cafe offers dine-in with indoor and outdoor seating, takeaway, delivery and kerbside pickup, plus catering and custom cake orders. Walk-ins are welcome, and reservations are taken for full dining. Opening hours differ a little between weekdays and weekends, so check before heading in. It's an easy pick for breakfast, brunch or a casual lunch if you're in Caulfield North.

What Customers Say on Google
“The egg was cooked in the sauce to perfection. There was nothing left on my plate. As I sat and ate, I felt like I was in a small cafe on Even Gverol in Tel Aviv.”
“Really lovely staff, and extremely accomodating. The powdered chai and coffees are great! They also have really good sandwiches for an amazing price.”
“Just had an absolutely incredible schnitzel sandwich, every bite was a flavour bomb. The schnitzel was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, paired with tangy pickled cabbage that added the perfect contrast.”
