Great place to eat and relax. Food was fresh and moorish. Leaving you wanting to go back for seconds or thirds. Great atmosphere and adorable personnel. Very homely cafe considering it was once a home to somebody. I can reservedly and without hesitation, recommend 20 young street cafe.

It was so nice to return to 20young street after soo many years away from Moonee ponds. It was like walking into an old friends house. The food was great, just as I remembered from years ago. The service was great, with a genuine smile. Best sandwiches in Melbourne in my opinion. Soo fresh, quality ingredients and made with love. Do yourself a favour and get here for quality food and coffee from a passionate local family.

We recently used 20 Young St for catering our company event and couldn't have been happier with the experience. From the initial consultation, their team provided wonderful advice on food selections that perfectly suited our group's diverse tastes and dietary needs and our budget. The food itself was absolutely delicious - fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. They provided generous portions that ensured everyone was well-fed, with plenty left over. What really stood out was their genuinely friendly and professional service throughout the entire process. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality catering with a personal touch, this cafe is an excellent choice. We would definitely use them again for future events.
