Why Choose Marche Cafe?
Marche is a Hawthorn fixture that does both café brunch and proper baking well. Fresh baguettes, focaccia and brioche come out daily, paired with house-made sweet treats and cakes; the focaccia in particular draws regular praise. The team is consistently noted for friendly, attentive service, and the space works equally well for a quick coffee or a longer sit-down.
About Marche Cafe
Marche Cafe is a cafe and bakery on Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn, Victoria, and it sits somewhere between a neighbourhood brunch spot and a proper bakery. Baguettes, brioche and focaccia come out of the oven fresh each morning, with house-made sweet treats and cakes alongside. They've been trading on this stretch since 2016, which is part of why it feels like a fixture of the street.
The bakery side gets plenty of love around Hawthorn. We hear the focaccia is a favourite, particularly the mushroom one, and the sweet cabinet draws praise for its variety, from raspberry custard slices to cakes made in house daily. If you want something more substantial, locals rave about the baked eggs, the eggs benny and the French toast, plus a generously filled bacon-and-egg bun.
Salads are the other big talking point. The pumpkin salad comes up as a standout, and people who don't usually bother with salads have walked away converted. One local did grumble that the salads are on the pricey side and that a takeaway box once looked under-filled, so it's worth glancing at what you're getting. The matcha is also a draw, hand-whisked and made to your preferred sweetness, with an extra shot on request. The coffee has a good reputation too.
Staff are a consistent highlight. People describe the team as warm, friendly and attentive, and they keep up well when the lunch crowd rolls in. It does get busy, so get in early if you want a table or a particular salad before it sells out.
Marche does dine-in with outdoor seating, takeaway and reservations, and it caters for vegetarian and vegan diets. It also handles catering for offices and events across Melbourne's inner east; one local ordered a team lunch and said it all went smoothly. Custom cake orders are available too. They're open for breakfast and lunch most of the week but closed some days, so check the hours before you head in.

What Customers Say on Google
“The eggs benny were perfection and my friend thoroughly enjoyed the French toast - coffee was amazing too!”
“A quiet unassuming place with attentive and friendly staff. My friends had eggs on toast and said that they were cooked perfectly. I had the Tradie....a generously filled bun with eggs, a load of bacon and eggplant relish all piping hot.”
