Found an amazing new place in North Melbourne - Affinity on Errol! It is how cafes are to be - small, cosy, good and and great coffee. The burger I had was "drop-dead" perfect and the pork-belly sandwich which my cousin had was full of flavour. The cafe uses biodynamic meat, I know it sounds like a gimmick but it honesty taste "mind-blowing"! Taste the difference! The service is great and attentative without being too intruding. Definitely will be back again. Highly recommended.

On 29 October 2022 for our Brunch Date we went to Affinity on Errol We got: Iced Latte Breakfast Burger + Halloumi This is a classic and they made it just right! The egg was cooked perfectly, buns were nicely toasted, hash brown was crispy and the additional halloumi added the extra savoriness to the burger Kinoko & Crispy Tofu Rice Bowl + Fried Egg This is something special that you need to try in this cafe! Same as the burger, the egg yolk was perfectly runny and fully coated the rice, the tofu was soft to the touch, and the star of the show ⭐ the mushroom broth ⭐ was incredible ‼ It was the first time I’ve tried something like this and I’m now obsessed! Overall, this cozy place is the perfect place to have a nice and intimate brunch/lunch with classic western and japanese influenced menu that were done perfectly We definitely see ourselves coming back for more

We had karaage, beef stew, gyoza, tonkatsu sandwich, and a naked burger — everything was absolutely delicious! We also ordered a cappuccino and dirty matcha, which were great too. And the cafe owners were super friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend this lovely cafe!

A serendipitous discovery on route to errands, I was drawn to an innovative menu melding Western crowd-pleasers with Japanese favourites, giving the best of both worlds. The Miso Ocean Trout lunch set had a little bit of everything. The fish had a burst of briny flavour, being the highlight of the meal. Like so often in a Bento Box, every ingredient was in harmony with its neighbours. After every morsel was devoured, one feels satisfyingly well fed without that bloated sensation or gluttonous guilt. The iced black sesame "latte" was refreshing with just enough sweetness to be memorable. Friendly service in an unpretentious, casual setting, this place is great for that relaxed brunch when you fancy something a bit different. I left in curiosity about the Okonomiyaki Your Way... a reason to go back another day.
