George Street Cafe

Not sure what the coffee was like ordered paid walked out had to get to work . They appear to have developed a nice local following and I understand they need to look after the locals first its a good policy but this place is not for walk ins. Large numbers of coffee orders still in the que locals walk in get bumped up que . I understand the need times are tough and you should look after them . Just tell others the coffee will be 15 minutes i will serve others first so we can say thank i will go somewhere else.

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.
