Monkey Can Fly Café

We've been part of the Highett community for over 10 years—long enough to know who we are, and what matters most.

Every day starts with great coffee. Smooth, full of flavour, and made with care, it's what has kept so many locals coming back over the years. Whether you're grabbing a quick takeaway or settling in for a slow morning, we believe a good cup of coffee should always feel familiar and dependable.

The same philosophy carries through to our food. We keep things simple: honest breakfast, satisfying lunch, local favourites with a touch of Asian flavour, all made with quality ingredients and served at a fair price. We'd rather put our effort into making food that tastes great than adding extras that simply look good on the plate.

Our café has an easygoing, old-school charm, with a sunny courtyard that's perfect for catching up with friends, enjoying a quiet coffee, or taking a break from the day.

Some of our customers have been with us since the beginning. Others have only just discovered us. Whoever you are, you'll always find a warm welcome, great coffee, and food made with care.

Simple. Honest. Local. That's who we've always been.
