Number Five Cafe

Number Five Cafe sits quietly on Kirk Road in Templeton, a practical stop for locals and visitors who want a straightforward café experience without fuss. This is clearly a place where people drop in regularly—whether for their weekday morning latte or a weekend treat like one of the cheese scones that seem to have earned a loyal following.

The café’s vibe leans modern and clean, with functional touches like a glass fence and lino flooring that keep things simple but a little too polished for those looking for a cozy, rustic atmosphere. Some might notice it lacks the cluttered charm of older cafés, but the outdoor patio adds a pleasant element for warmer days, especially with umbrellas for shade. It’s an inviting spot to sit outside when the sun is out, soaking up a quiet suburban street scene.

Service here is friendly and professional, often remarked on by regulars and first-timers alike. The ownership’s approachable manner seems to add a genuine local welcome to the experience. The kitchen turns out substantial breakfasts that feel more generous than typical café portions, including well-executed basics like poached eggs and standout items like Korean fried chicken if you’re feeling adventurous.

The drink menu includes well-prepared coffee staples alongside a strong recommendation for the English Breakfast Tea for two, which fits well with the overall unpretentious offering. Best times to visit are morning through early afternoon, when you can settle in for a hearty start or a midday coffee break. The crowd is mostly local residents, regulars who appreciate consistency and friendly faces over novelty.

While not the spot for those seeking a lush, plant-filled sanctuary or a highly stylized café vibe, Number Five Cafe delivers on straightforward food and drink, good outdoor seating, and a welcoming environment that suits everyday meet-ups and relaxed mornings.
