This happens to be one of the only places in the
Northcote area that is actually open for lunch
throughout the week days. Ergo, when in this area
at lunchtime, for the most part it is one has only a few
options. The menu has some pretty decent stuff on it
including braised rabbit, school prawns, A decent ragu,
and an open steak sand which.
They have a modest but good beer and wine by the glass
selection that steers clear of the boring staple drinks that
fills so many a café these days. Pretty sure they serve
coffee Supreme, which I’ve yet to try here, but from
memory it is one of the better coffee’s around.
Its not an über trendy place, or one with super dooper
fittings and furnishings, but nor does it need to be, it
is for what it stands, good food served honestly, and
people that don’t need to go beyond their means.
A great selection of comfort food, done decently, without
too much fastidiousness. Staff are pretty easy going too.

Joe Green café feels partly like a modern trendy café and partly like an old school Italian eatery where old men hang out and smoke pipes. And you know what? I like this combination.
There is a simple and fresh menu of all things Italian. Like all good Italian inspired places they seem to understand the value in simple food done using great ingredients. The coffee is the same. It is strong, robust in flavour and unpretentious, but very good.
At Joe Green I kind of get the feeling that there will always be a few old men sitting in the corner, that may be part owners, uncles of the owners or at the very least family in some way. This is probably partly the reason why the staff are so friendly and make you feel like you have just become part of a family when you take a seat. It definitely leaves one with the feeling that you should come back again, if only to see if they remember that you like your coffee strong and eggs well done.

Although Joe Green’s frontage is so vividly verdant that I always thought it a garden centre, it is actually a very characterful little Northcote café which is just far enough off the beaten track — i.e. High Street — to feel like a very well kept secret.
With vintage shelves covered in miscellany, that unabashedly bright green exterior, and an interior that looks as much like an old man’s barber shop as a hip Northside café, Joe Green provides some welcome respite from the bleached floorboard + white wall equation that seems to define so many Melbourne cafes.
I can’t vouch for the food — although one sight of the cakes made me wish I’d abstained from breakfast at home — but Joe Green’s coffee is delicious. That, combined with its hugely friendly and convivial staff and refreshingly unpretentious atmosphere and I can’t wait to go back.
