George Street Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

One of the joys of working in and around Melbourne and Victoria are the amazing places you come across quite serendipitously. This morning I took a new path to work and found the most delightful cafe ‘George Street Cafe’. With a blustery wind that felt like Antarctica had floated into Port Phillip Bay, I ventured inside for respite for a morning heart starter latte. I was greeted by the lovely Adam and Jonty who were busily making coffees and serving customers. Listening to the cafe ‘chit chat’ it was clear this was a regular for many of the diners. As my hands warmed around my latte, I flipped through a newspaper but really was delightfully distracted by the warm and cosy atmosphere that exudes from this little place. It represented the essence of a community that enjoys and appreciates consistency in the known and friendliness from those they’ve come to hand over their culinary taste to. I watched a few breakfasts being served, all of which looked tantalisingly. The cakes, slices and sweet treats were tempting but alas, I had a breakfast meeting today otherwise the banana cake would’ve been coming with me. Highly recommend George Street Cafe is on your list if nothing more than to see how a good cafe is...

Contrary to the previous post - I ordered a breaky burger this morning (approx 8:30am) and it was great. I was working a job around the corner and thus did not have time to finish it all - and so, getting home, warmed it up again - and it was still great. The chefs perfectly cooked the eggs and bacon and the serving size for the price was very reasonable.

Service at the front counter was great too. I did not catch the name of the (assumedly) european woman - glasses, curly red hair - during the interaction - but she was friendly, attentive and also made a fantastic iced coffee.

Overall - would highly recommend. Props to the FoH staff and the chefs for a great, early morning...

I came here on a Saturday morning and was welcomed very kindly and pleasantly by the staff. I tried out their breakfast burger and iced coffee. The staff were very accommodating. The food was delicious! The breakfast burger was nicely toasted and melted in your mouth. One of the best I had. The coffee was a real delight. The barista Peter really knows his stuff. The atmosphere is great and there's a friendly, community vibe that's both welcoming and vibrant. A really great experience and a real highlight to any day. Great food and a great vibe....
