Station Street Food Co. — Restaurant in Melbourne

It seems the owner of this establishment has made an effort to accommodate sit in customers. On the south side he has installed tables and chairs along the wall behind a protective sheet of plastic and inside there is a bench at the window with half dozen stools which looks out to the north east, capturing a goodly amount of low winter sunlight that may exist in the morning. I arrived at about 10am on a weekday and paid somewhere between 8 and 9 bucks for a long black-plain croissant combination and enjoyed the same looking out to Mount Dandenong and absorbing what little heat and light was available from the low winter sun. As I sat there for 45 minutes (or so) it became obvious there existed a steady group of loyal patrons - some stopping for a coffee, others to purchase food products ... some both. I imagined this bore testimony to the effort made by the proprietor to render the establishment appealing ... that it reflected the energy and thought he had invested in the cafe. The music being of psychedelic bent, moreover, was much to my taste. And it was set at a volume that was promoting of concentration and was not over intrusive of conversation. At some point the place was filled with the pleasant odours of some soup being prepared. With the closure of two cafes in close proximity this is now one of only three in the village. I suppose this village is in competition with the one at Upper Ferntree Gully, one station...

Normally served by a guy and coffee & meals always good. Today, 2 females, 1 made coffee, its twice as strong as normal.. 😣 other lady heated up borrito, Sadly unsuccessfuly.. was crispy outside and ice cold in the middle. When I pointed out it was chicken. I was told "I've done the course".. Thats great (I have too!) but in a logical world a round burrito will NEVER heat up (to a safe temp to eat) in a sandwich press alone! (ok.. If you leave it there for 30+mins!) I had to go home and microwave.. 😣 Probably for the best as if it were hot.. Id have burnt my hands trying to eat it with only a napkin. Needless to say.. Lots of places make...

My lazy Saturday morning delight at Station Street, just what I needed. A friendly smile the most delicious coffee in Melbourne. Croissants to die for sweet or savoury. Or the famous home made toasties the choices are unbelievable. The tastes to linger and satisfy even the hardest critics. Vegan lactose intolerant milk options are all available. You can even buy your milk and bakers bread to go. No rush, sit chat relax and enjoy. The small treats in life are always the best. More than a coffe shop it's your daily or weekly treat that cannot be recommended more highly. Don't miss this hidden gem you won't be...
