At Basil and Macrina, we believe in the power of good food and great coffee to bring people together. Our café, run by a proud Egyptian family, is more than just a place to grab a bite—it’s a warm, welcoming space where you can relax, connect with friends, and enjoy the best that Oakleigh has to offer.

Our journey began with a passion for coffee and a dream to create a community hub where everyone feels at home. We have poured our hearts into making Basil and Macrina a place where you can experience genuine hospitality and the joy of sharing great food and drinks.

What sets us apart is not just our delicious offerings but our commitment to quality and community. We serve the best-awarded coffee in the area and take pride in sourcing only the finest ingredients. Partnering with local suppliers like Laurent Bakery, we bring you tasty and soft breads. Additionally, we offer special-made cakes available on pre-order, perfect for celebrating any occasion with a touch of our homemade goodness.
