Welcome to Tram Xpresso, a delightful café nestled in a repurposed Melbourne tram carriage located at 126 York Rd, Mount Evelyn VIC 3796, Australia. This charming spot offers a unique blend of cozy ambiance, delectable food, and a wider shopping experience, making it an essential stop for anyone exploring the Yarra Valley.

As you step inside this converted tram, you're instantly enveloped by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that invites you to relax and enjoy. The quaint interior is a throwback to vintage flavors, featuring the tram's original decor intermingled with modern touches. It’s an experience unlike any other—sipping your coffee amid a historical setting adds an unexpected but delightful twist to the ordinary café outing.

The menu at Tram Xpresso is designed to cater to diverse tastes, with an array of indulgent offerings. Regular patrons rave about the heavenly muffins that perfectly complement a rich, full-bodied coffee. If you're in the mood for something more savory, the potato and leek soup is a soul-soothing choice, though perhaps best enjoyed hot off the stove as suggested by one customer. For a light meal, the cheese and bacon tart tantalizes with its flaky crust and savory filling, though some have noted that a thorough reheat would enhance its flavor even further.

The extensive selection of sweet treats is a highlight, from decadent cakes to inviting scones served with jam and cream—a delightful experience, especially on a sunny spring day when you can sit outdoors and relish the cheerful surroundings. Reviews from customers like Felix Banvillet and Mike Song emphasize the café’s inviting and friendly vibe, perfect for families, as it even features a small playground for children. This makes it a fantastic retreat for parents seeking a little slice of peace while their kids are entertained.

Tram Xpresso isn’t just about food; it’s also a unique habitat for plant lovers. The café boasts an adjoining plant and home decor store, making it easy to wander and find a perfect potted friend to take home. Regulars often mention this blend of café and nursery as an added delight, enhancing your visit to the Yarra Valley.

While there may occasionally be hiccups, such as limited table space or timing issues with food options, as noted by customers like Barbara and Jo L (JL), the overall charm and genuine customer service shine through effectively. The staff at Tram Xpresso are known for their friendliness and attentiveness, making sure every guest feels valued, which leaves customers eagerly planning their return visits.

Unique café in this original Melbourne Tram Carriage! Coffee and cakes were delicious, highly recommend the muffins. The plant and home decor store is fantastic as well and worth a visit on your way to the Yarra Valley. We will be back!

It was really cozy to sit in the retired tram and enjoy your brunch in a cold winter morning. Food was delicious, there was little play ground to keep your kids busy and a nice nursery for adults who love plants.

Yummy food with good customer service. I have ordered the hot chocolate, potato and leek soup, cheese and bacon tart. It was delicious but the tart was just warm only, would be better if they reheated fully hot to get the taste out!! Bad side was about the tables were tiny to placed food on any of them!

Beautiful atmosphere on a sunny spring day. The people are friendly. The tram is a dinning space.

We arrived too late (2.30) for hot meals or to sit in the Tram which has been cleaned prior to cafe 3pm closing? Should have checked more closely. We were able to order nachos and scones with jam and cream, all very nice and had a choice of indoor or outdoor tables near the shop area which was open till 5pm I think. Overall, despite missing out on the tram seating experience, a pleasant atmosphere and we enjoyed a stroll after lunch through the plants and displays of all sorts of interesting and pretty garden and home decor and giftware.

This garden centre and cafe are great. I love experiencing the fun vibe of dining in the tram with my children, who always want the pancakes with sprinkles! It's been busy when I've been there but the vibe is friendly and the food is good. Recommend it for a quick coffee or a bigger meal too!
