The Explo

One of the best brekkie spots in Canberra – hands down! We rocked up as a group of nine for a breakfast, and from the moment we walked in, everything was spot on. The vibe was warm and welcoming, service was quick and friendly, and the food? Absolutely next level. You can tell the chefs here take real pride in what they do. And the taste? Just as amazing as it looked. From classic big brekkies to avo toast, pancakes and smoothies, everything we ordered was fresh, flavour-packed and super satisfying. Plenty of options and great coffee to top it all off. If you're in Canberra and keen for a proper feed to start your day, this café is an absolute gem. Can’t recommend it enough!

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with cozy seating and lovely decor. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Best Cafe in Fyshwick. Best cafe in Canberra. Highly recommend!

The Explo is the best cafe in Fyshwick by a mile. The coffee and service are outstanding and the food is delicious. I particularly recommend the beef burger and the momos! The prices are incredible too. In terms of value for money, there is not a better cafe in Canberra. Highly recommend!

Yummy food, friendly staff and amazing atmosphere. Worth coming back for

Probably the most friendliest and courteous staff in Canberra. Always happy to see me and I feel like they actually care about me and i'm not just another customer. the Coffee is delicious and the food is absolutely outstanding! I ordered the Wednesday Curry today and I am blown away how good it is. I love a good curry and this is perfectly balanced, chef quality. Their egg and bacon rolls are delicious and they do a deal if you order a coffee at the same time. Their Burgers are great too, I had the chicken southern fry the other day and it was delicious. A hidden gem in Fyshwick.

If you guys are looking for the best place, ambience, atmosphere, food, and coffee, I highly recommend "The Explo Cafe" as one of the best places. Especially, the momos are so tasty and juicy compared to all the momos I've tried. The staff is good, wide parking space and the service was very excellent and incomparable. What are you guys waiting for? Just come visit and try it too, and you won't regret it. Will keep on coming back here and might be my new favorite place to eat and relax with coffeeCheers!

I recently hosted a dinner party for 50 guests at this wonderful café, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From start to finish, everything was exceptional.
