The Glass Den

Nestled within the historic Pentridge Prison site, The Glass Den offers a vibrant café experience in Coburg. Its spacious interior features industrial design elements like exposed brick walls and high ceilings, complemented by a covered outdoor courtyard. The menu presents a modern Australian twist on classic dishes, incorporating Southeast Asian influences with ingredients such as coconut, pandan, jackfruit, and lotus root.

The café is vegan, vegetarian, kid, and dog-friendly, and sources its coffee from Code Black. Additional offerings include Good Brew kombucha, juices, and smoothies. The Glass Den is dedicated to creating an inclusive space, hiring and training women as well as culturally, sexually, and gender-diverse individuals.
