Stillman Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

May 2024

Stillmancafe in Richmond still make some amazing toasties, coffee, & pastries.

I was invited to try their latest beef brisket toastie and OMG it was amazing!!

My friend tried the mushroom toastie, and that was equally as good.

The latte and the cappuccino were perfect, and I was spoilt with the best apple strudel that I've ever had. Big call, but the pastry was light and crispy and the filling, delish!

That combined with genuinely lovely friendly service made this a great experience.

2023 I haven't been to Stillman Cafe for some time, so a visit was well overdue.

A small block from the corner of Bridge Road and Burnley Streets, this cafe is easy to find.

The service is excellent, really friendly answelcoming. It's a very comfortable space.

I ordered a Ruben toastie with pastrami, sauerkraut, dijon mayonnaise, and pickle on seeded bread. OMGosh, this was delicious. The pastrami was excellent quality, the sauerkraut was really tasty, and there wasn't a strong vinegar flavour.

The bread was great, and the dijon mustard worked perfectly. What a great toastie.

My partner had a vegetarian toastie, which was called a mushroom melt. This consisted of roasted mushrooms, garlic, and baby spinach. This was another winner, and the toastie was full of well cooked shrooms. An amazing vegetarian toastie.

This place is definitely worth a visit.

Previous review January 2020 This is a nice new cafe on Burnley Street. It's white and bright inside, and there is a small courtyard w seating for 4 ppl.

I tried a bacon and egg sandwich. This was 2 eggs, lashings of tasty bacon, rocket, and BBQ sauce on some toasted sourdough.

OMGosh, this definitely hit the spot! My sandwich was delicious. The eggs were just runny, the bacon was cooked really well, and the sourdough toast was perfect.

The service was lovely, friendly, and welcoming. This new place is...

My partner and I visited Stillman Cafe for brunch recently and had the best experience.

Firstly, the team is so welcoming and lovely. We got to chat with the owner John and his wife, and it's nice to hear a bit about their background. Everyone was very attentive to us, ensuring we weren't waiting to order our coffees and food. They both came out quickly too, we didn't wait long at all.

Although a cosy cafe, it's all positive vibes as lots of customers seem to be regulars. It's clear the staff are so friendly and really get to know everyone who walks in the doors.

I had the Smashed Avo which was so beautifully presented - I was so excited to try it. The taste/flavours matched the aesthetics as they were spot on. The addition of the pomegranates, goji berries, seeds and beetroot jazzed up this classic. The poached egg was cooked to perfection also with the runny yolk.

My partner had the Chilli Scramble which he loved also. It was a generous portion size, it's rare to see chorizo being included and not an add on! Stillman have clearly put effort into the presentation of all of their dishes well without compromising on flavour at all.

Apparently the pancakes are very popular and I'm a big sweet tooth, so I'll definitely be ordering this next...
