Raya Melbourne

Brilliant, modern Southeast Asian kopitiam vibes right on Little Collins St. Melbourne pastry chasers constantly trade notes on this intimate CBD space—and for good reason. The ultimate power move? Flawless kaya toast with soft-boiled eggs, served over perfectly toasted, cloud-like shokupan. Sweet tooths completely lose it over the intensely fragrant pandan chiffon cakes and impossibly creamy ube banana pies. Savory cravings get sorted with punchy beef rendang pastries and classic club sandwiches. Wash it all down with a ridiculously flavorful teh tarik or a masterfully whisked hojicha latte. Tiny tables. Beautifully packaged pantry cookies. Impossibly warm staff. A total masterclass in comforting, Malaysian and Indonesian-inspired baking.
