The Full Southlink Experience
At Southlink Café, we believe a café should be more than just a quick coffee stop — it should feel like your second home. Situated in the heart of the south-eastern suburbs, we’ve created a welcoming space for locals to relax, recharge, and savour delicious food with the people they love.
Our menu is full of variety and heart — from rich aromatic coffee, an all-day breakfast, flavourful burgers, traditional creamy pastas, and desserts you will regret not ordering. Everything we prepare is made fresh, quality ingredients, and served with a smile.
How a simple idea—great food with soul—became a popular place in the area.
The owners of Southlink Café loved food and real hospitality. Our founders intended to make a place where individuals from all walks of life could come together, eat, and feel at home.
From the start, we’ve paid attention to the small things that make a big difference, including using fresh foods, providing great service, and having a staff that enjoys what they do. Southlink Café has become a beloved part of the community, one plate at a time.

Southlink cafe 22 S Link Drive, Dandenong South VIC 3175 is a great cafe. The staff at this cafe are its greatest asset. They are just so friendly and personable. The coffee is amazing too. Im not sure where they get the coffee beans from, i was in to much of a hurry to ask them, but the coffee tasted amazing. Lastly the food... it tasted great. The freshness of it all was great. I always get a coffee here when im in this area.
