French Inspired Café near Malvern
Tired of the same café options close to home? Located on Claremont St, South Yarra, Two Birds One Stone is the kind of place locals have made their regular caffeine spot. It has become a firm favourite with locals from Malvern and the surrounding suburbs too.
Our menu changes with the seasons, the space has real character, and the service is the kind that makes you feel genuinely looked after rather than just processed through.
If you have been searching for a café near Malvern that goes a little beyond the ordinary, this is a good place to start.
Breakfast and Brunch Worth Making Time For
Our kitchen puts real thought into every dish, and the menu reflects that. We work with seasonal produce and change things up regularly, so there is always a reason to come back.
The seared smoked salmon is one of our most popular dishes. Prepared in a cured pan with beetroot and citrus, it is served with grilled asparagus, cumin-roasted zucchini, charred broccoli, a poached egg, zesty lime, and a potato-quinoa-kale rosti. It is a proper dish, made with care, and it shows.
For something lighter, the smoked-to-serve salmon salad brings together green beans, mango, honey rosemary dressing, baby cos hearts, and heirloom radishes. Fresh, clean, and genuinely satisfying without being fussy about it.
Beyond the salmon, you will find breakfast classics like omelettes, smashed avocado, and a full breakfast board, as well as more adventurous options for when you are in the mood to try something new. There is always something worth ordering, whatever kind of morning you are having.
Coffee Done Properly
At Two Birds One Stone, coffee is taken as seriously as the food. We use single-origin beans, work with skilled baristas, and make sure every cup is consistent and well-made. For Malvern locals who appreciate a good brew, we think you will feel right at home.

The Vegan Brunch Malvern Residents Love
Our vegan brunch menu is a proper part of what we offer, not a small concession to dietary preferences. Every plant-based dish is made with the same seasonal produce and attention that goes into the rest of the menu.
The Chargrilled Eggplant with grain salad, candied walnuts, pumpkin hummus, and poached eggs is a standout. The Coconut Chia Pudding is light and nourishing. The Shakshuka is warm and full of flavour. Sauteed Mixed Mushrooms and a Veggie Burger round things out for when you want something more substantial.
If you have been looking for a vegan brunch near Malvern that treats plant-based eating with genuine care, this is the one. It works just as well for a solo breakfast as it does for a table full of friends with different dietary needs.
The French Café That Keeps People Coming Back
Two Birds One Stone has a character that is hard to replicate. Panelled white walls, warm stained glass, comfortable booths that give you a little privacy, and an outdoor seating area that is lovely on a fine Melbourne day. It is a space that feels considered.
We take our baked goods seriously, the way a good French café should. House-made crumpets, pancakes with rhubarb jam and berry compote, and a rotating selection of pastries.
