Elephant has officially landed in Moonee Ponds folks, and Mamma guarantees that it’s going to very quickly become your new local favourite!

Run by Kristian and his amazing team, this brand new spot brings the same magic that Westside families already know and love from their much loved cafés in Albion and Keilor East… but with a seriously exciting new twist.

What makes the Moonee Ponds location extra special is its indoor AND outdoor play spaces — honestly, this type of multifunctional play space is hard to come by in the North West area. The little ones can dive straight into creative play with chalkboards, toys, and a play kitchen, as well as a cubby house, dress-up costumes and space to roam. It’s thoughtfully designed so kids can play happily while parents actually get to sit down, sip their coffee and enjoy a meal while it’s still hot (yes please!).

And speaking of food — Moonee Ponds absolutely delivers. The menu is packed with the crowd favourites we’ve come to love, including the beautifully presented Flora Smashed Avo, the Stampy Chilli, and the fantastic Salmon or Pork Rostis, as well as some new additions like the Ella Open Croissant. Everything is fresh, generous and exactly what you want from a quality neighbourhood café.

For the kids, there’s a dedicated menu that’s a total winner — think Elephant Waffle Soldiers with Nutella and banana, the Manny Brekkie (eggs bacon and toast), and all of the burgers, chicken nuggets and fish bites that your little one could ever dream of. Pair this kid approved menu with the play areas and you’ve got a café where your mini’s will instantly feel at home.

If you’re looking for a new café where the food is fantastic, the vibe is relaxed and the kids are genuinely having fun, Elephant Café Moonee Ponds needs to be on your must visit list.
