STRANGER COFFEEHOUSE & KITCHEN

Step inside Stranger Coffeehouse & Kitchen, where history and modern hospitality unite in the heart of Balwyn. Housed within a breathtakingly restored 100-year-old church, this café is nothing short of extraordinary, a space where soaring ceilings, original stained-glass windows, and a design-led fit-out by Studio Argil preserve the building’s soul and sacred character, while creating a dining experience that feels truly one-of-a-kind.

Perfectly positioned along Whitehorse Road, one of Melbourne’s most prestigious and high-exposure strips, Stranger has quickly become a local favourite for its premium Axil coffee, vibrant brunch menu, and stunning architecture. Whether it’s locals catching up over their morning latte, weekend brunchers basking in the ambience, or passers-by drawn in by the building’s beauty, this venue leaves a lasting impression on everyone who visits.

Open 7 days from 7:30am–3pm, the business remains in its exciting early stages, brimming with opportunity for a passionate, hands-on owner to take it to the next level. With more than $600,000 invested in the fit-out, a fully equipped commercial kitchen, and with an exceptional team already in place, the foundations of this stunning cafe are as solid as the church walls themselves.
