Small Graces

Footscray’s café scene just got a serious jolt. Small Graces recently flipped the script—trading standard brunch for a wildly affordable Thai-Vietnamese menu—and the pivot is absolute fire. Word on the street is the new crew hasn't just maintained the espresso standards; they’re pulling shots with a rich, flawless crema that fills the void left by past local heavyweights. But the real flex? The $9.90 noodle lunches. We're talking massive, steaming plates of Pad See Ew packing genuine wok hei. Those who frequent the shaded patio tables are obsessed with the flawless seafood, pitch-perfect Thai milk teas, and a pastry cabinet that drops jaws—looking at you, strawberry custard. Quaint inside, breezy outside, and completely wallet-friendly. The ultimate zero-pretension, high-flavor collision.
