Glory Us Fitzroy North

Glory Us Fitzroy North sits comfortably on Reid Street as a laid-back spot where locals come not just for their morning caffeine fix but also for an unhurried breakfast or a casual catch-up over simple, thoughtfully prepared food. It’s a café at heart, balancing solid coffee with a menu that leans into elevated comfort food with some clever twists—like their standout breakfast pizza that draws in those craving something a little different first thing in the day.

The atmosphere here matches the neighborhood’s relaxed, creative vibe. You’ll find a friendly, neighborhood feel with staff who clearly care about the details—whether it’s a neat presentation on your plate or a quick pat for the café’s resident dogs lounging near the counter. It’s the kind of place where regulars drop by for their usual coffee and a toasted sanga, but also where people feeling indulgent will share a couple of plates packed with fresh, carefully assembled ingredients without the fuss.

On a typical weekday morning or weekend brunch slot, expect to see a mix of locals who appreciate well-made coffee and food that’s both approachable and a step above your standard café fare. The breakfast pizza, priced at around $10, is a crowd favourite for its balance of comfort and craft, and the toasted sangas offer generous fillings that keep things interesting—options like chicken and brie or dukkah roasted cauliflower highlight the kitchen’s flair for mixing familiar with a hint of surprise.

Beyond coffee and food, Glory Us provides a casual yet attentive setting that’s well suited for a slow start or a relaxed midday stop. The addition of a small dining area means it’s no longer just a grab-and-go for Fitzroy North locals but a spot to linger, check emails, or catch up with friends. If you’re someone who values a café that feels quiet and genuine without being overly polished, and enjoys a local crowd with a dog-friendly angle, this place fits the bill.
