Station Street Trading Co. — Restaurant in Melbourne

My friend is trying to sell us on moving to Melbourne and with places like Station Street she isn't going to have to try too hard. We hadn't been here since pre-pandemic and if anything the space, people, and food and improved since last time (and it was great then!). I want to speak mostly to the service though. There were so many instances when I noticed staff going out of their way to accommodate one person's request or deal with a large group of people and it was always with a smile. At one point probably about 12 'active senior' cyclists showed up for their post-ride coffee and the staff wasted no time in making up an area for them so they could all hang out together with their beverages.

Was very disappointed about the quality of the food after waiting for half an hour on a not so busy weekday morning. Smashed avocado is what I always order at a cafe and sadly, for the first time ever, I was served with rotten avocado at this cafe. Almost 2/3 of the avocado was extremely overripe, black with lots of very obvious fiber, maybe they’re still edible, but just don’t think it should be the kind of quality you pay money to have. On top of that, an over amount of goat cheese plus the olive loaf just made the whole dish so salty...
