Benevolent, daggy yet inherently cool, Julio, like Paul Simon, is indifferent to judging eyes. Fresh jam and custard doughnuts are Julio's trademark product. Gobble one while you tap into the free wireless internet and slurp your Supreme coffee.

Should you feel like something more, the menu offers a delightful mix of items startlingly different from Melbourne's quotidian cafe chow, a ‘Turkish breakfast plate' with tomato, cucumber, fetta and olives sets the tonefor a Moorish themed menu, dominated by salads and fresh produce rather than bread (although the sardine, lemon and harissa toasted sandwich is a ripper).

Enquire about the ‘secret special' and procure yourself some baked organic eggs with marinated white anchovies, capers, red peppers and parsley. Soon to be the exclusive Australian stockists of New Zealand's beverage du jour ‘Foxton Fizz', Julio is worth the trip. Tell your friends "I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going...see you, me and Julio down by the school yard..."
