Eastbourne Deli - EAST MELBOURNE

I always have breakfast at this restaurant once or twice while on holiday in Melbourne. The food and coffee are fantastic (my favorite is the traditional porridge with fruit and nuts) and Michael is well-liked by the local customers. I give it a rare 5-star rating...highly recommended.

The food at this restaurant was tasty. I stopped in after playing tennis and found that it was a bustling cafe. The majority of customers appeared to be locals. I discovered on my first visit that everyone is familiar with Michael.

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 run. Thank you.

Continuously impresses me; George Street café is a hidden gem amongst the busy hospital district of East Melbourne. With a tasty strong house blend, the coffee delights the senses, and the sweet treats confirm the quality of this place. Ignore the somewhat cheap decor interior and appreciate the taste of the food, the kindness of the staff, and the consistent brilliance of George St Café. 4 stars.

First time visit here in East Melbourne. I'm truly blown away how good the original structure of the building still stands. The food menu is ace, prices are affordable. They serve tea and coffee for those who love a sip. Very peaceful area. Slow music in back ground. They have new paper aswell for reading. Must visit.
