A unique cafe in Coburg

Set on the grounds of Pentridge Prison, Coburg, The Boot Factory café is steeped in history. The building dates back to the 1850s and it was once part of the Coburg penitentiary where well behaved prisoners worked making shoes & boots for the prison guards.

The Coburg café is now family owned and the restoration has used all of the original features, the setting is an iconic space that looks over the guards tower and the looming walls of the prison.

The Boot Factory is famous for its hand made and home loved food. Dishes are transformed by the brigade of classically trained chefs using only the best ingredients and time honoured traditions making pastries and baking bread.

Suitable for breakfast, lunch, dinner, parties & more formal occasions, the interior has been sensitively decorated to create an atmosphere that is second to none, lounge away with a coffee on the comfortable chairs looking over the terrace or take a communal table and dine with the whole family. Children also love the atmosphere in the café and its noticeable that the babies just seem to settle in to the environment without so much as a cry.

Functions

So much more than a brunch spot, we have an amazing, historic space that is suitable for all corporate functions, special occasions, day or night.

Choose from 2 different areas to hold your function or party – our Loft is a private dining area that overlooks the café. Alternatively, it can be used for business meetings with fully equipped AV kit, flip charts and tables. The main floor is full of character where you still see the Pentridge walls and even the guard tower. Functions for all sizes are welcome, up to 140 people!

Our head chef and his talented team make everything from scratch using the finest local ingredients, using time honoured traditions. We offer canape, buffet and set menus depending on your preferences.

What`s cooking on the next menu?

We are excited to be introducing a new member, Gurdit our new Head Chef, comes from some of the best and has worked in St Ali and The Botanical where he honed some fantastic skills, cooking, baking, curing & smoking. Needless to say we are anticipating a fantastic change to the menu that will always follow seasonality and something a little unexpected.

So far we`ve played with tuna, kingfish, pork ribs and we are looking at some new breakfasts as well as an extended dessert range, so, watch this space!

Menu launches in March…

Breakfast, lunch & coffee love…

Baristas ready to serve you the best coffee in Coburg with coffee beans from Toby’s Estate. You would find our coffee’s flavour a well rounded sweetness with a lovely nutty finish. Stay for one, two, three or take them away, the coffee is on!

The chefs carve out our menu daily, its fresh, its handmade and it smacks of love.

Try our crushed avocado, rocket & feta with grilled corn and tomato salsa or our sweet potato & halloumi hash and wash it all down with a super charged smoothie made fresh from our bar. Our lunch menu include crowd favourites such as Cajun fish tacos with Pico de Gallo and wash them down with a local craft beer from Barrow Boys or a cheeky little glass of Pinot from the Yarra Valley.

Delicious menu with a difference, to top it off extremely friendly and attentive staff. Absolutely love the decore, very unassuming and funky. Prices very reasonable and our plate servings were perfect. One of our top 5.
