This is an amazing little place that we had never been to but will definitely be back. Probably my fave café in the area!!!
Having grabbed coffee here a couple of times on the go, I’d had heard good things about the food and thought to drop in mid morning. The brunch offerings are superb, I had the smashed avocado with a side of smoked salmon. The staff attitude is pleasant and welcoming. The service is attentive but relaxed in a good way. The young man who served me, despite it being his second day , had good knowledge of the menu options. Some brunch spots in Melbourne are becoming increasingly pretentious with dishes that are “instagrammable” but lacking in flavour. I’m glad to say this is not one of those places. The food here actually looks and tastes great!
It’s quite a cozy restaurant so it gets busy quickly. I ordered the pulled pork and potato. The flavours were nice however the potato was very undercooked which really brought down the meal.
The coffee however is amazing!

Friendly service by the owner. Toasty, pork roll and salad were all excellent. Bread is delicious and top quality ingredients used. Recommended.
Since moving office to South Melbourne this has become my go to place. A great friendly team, fantastic coffee and food. The 5 and dime bagel with Avocado is a must. Also do fantastic winter soups served with a couple of excellent chunky slices of sourdough.
Love the decor of this cafe. Minimalism. Simplist. Friendly customer service.
We had the salad trio omg they were super fresh, flavoursome and generous portion. Came with my girlfriend and we ordered a salad each. We couldn't finish our salad. I guess for girls it is good to share for 1 salad.
Coffee was great as usual. Love sitting by the window to get the glimpse of sunshine.
Also love their chicken wrap. Yummo.

* Great coffee
* Super tiny, super cute
I never had a go-to place in South Melbourne but I have just found my place. While trying to work out a location we were walking past and the sign above grabbed our attention. When we walked in there was very limited space. The new tiny house concept is now making a wave in the cafe scene. We managed to get a spot at the entrance and I loved the spot. The owner or staff were amazingly friendly and made us feel so welcome. It felt like he was our friend, made us laugh, gave excellent service and gave us great suggestions.
The specials looked amazing but sometimes you gravitate towards your favourite breaky. For my friend that was smashed avo and for me it was salmon spinach, poached egg with hollandaise sauce. We left very satisfied, if you can get the basics correct I can only imagine how good the other options are. My only suggestion would be to add beef as an option. Not a fan of pork on my fork.
This is a great little cafe that has a cool vibe. Lots of windows make it nice and light, and though it's not large, there are a few places to sit. It can get busy, but service is still really good, and the staff are quite welcoming.
The coffee is outstanding, and there is a small food menu. Everything is fresh, and the Reuben sandwich is delicious with fantastic ingredients. There are also some fabulous sweets on display, and they too are great. Giddiup has a lovely atmosphere, and with it's fab food and coffee, it's definitely a winner.
My new favourite lunch-place near the office, I love their delicious toastie (ham, cheese, béchamel and a very yummy sweet onion jam. The salads look great, but it's all about the toasted sandwich for a quick lunch... mmmmm.
Had brunch on a Saturday here. Lucky that the weather was lovely to sit outside. We had the smashed avocado with a side of salmon which I highly recommend and the pulled pork potato which was beautiful. Loved it.
What a gem this place is!!
A friend invited us over to the South Melbourne Markets and asked us to meet her at Giddiup.
As soon as we got there, it was noticeable how quirky this place was - from its gorgeous interior to its great staff.
Coffees arrived very promptly and were very strong - absolutely loved them.
All three dishes were served at the same time.
Not only that the presentation was on point, but they all packed so much flavour.
I rarely go for vegetarian breakfasts, but my avocado and quinoa were so full of flavour and very filling. I loved every single bite and I just can't wait to go back to try something different.
Definitely highly recommended on a warm Sunday morning before you hit the Market.
Visited for a Saturday morning breakfast. First and most important, coffee was good without being great.
We had the Chilli Eggs, very tasty and generous serve, and the pork burger, real winner with another generous size and great taste.
Only negative was the tables and chairs are a little pockie, even for my wife, and she aint big.
This is a nice little cozy cafe with excellent coffee and food served by very friendly staff! We came in for a light lunch and the sandwich we had was amazingly yum! This is probably a very popular place with people as there was very little food left by 1pm. We also got the brownie which was also too yum! Coffee does not need any rating as it was excellently prepared! We loved the atmosphere and it will be one of our to go places when we're in the area! A must try for anyone!!
4 years has passed! It’s nice to revisit this happy hippy cafe! :) St Ali’s beans. Good barista. I like the milk texture and sweetness of the flat white. Filter coffee is awesome too. Highly recommended ~
This is one of our favorite restaurants in Melbourne.
We came to have brunch, so I had two amazing poached eggs on a slow cook pork and potatos. It had a mix of different flavours, which made it a rich taste.
The service was absolutely nice, good vibes environment.
The coffee was also richness in flavour.
This place is located next to a home decoration retail store, which is another access to the café.
Really cozy place to relax on a sunday morning or afternoon.
Simple breakfast menu with great coffee. Highlights include the cheesy mushrooms and eggs Benedict served on a fresh crunchy sourdough. Can be a little tight in seating spaces
DO: The toastie. We travel over 30mins to eat this bad boy. Soooo good.
DONT: Come on a Sunday. They're closed.
TIP: Dont despair. The same people also own Wynyard across the road with a similar menu and equally cute cafe
