Go to St Edmonds often. Food is amazing and a great atmosphere.
Love St Edmonds! Great coffee and yummy food!
I'm IN love with your pulled-lamb.
It all began in the ciabatta and now the Moroccan soup!
What miraculous concoctions will follow?
Best coffee every time!! Thank you xxx
Always looked after it feels like family
Love me some duck tacos!
So fresh & full of flavour! 🙌 perfect for lunch, Mexican inspired!!
This place is a hiddem gem away from the hustle of prahran! Cute out door court yard, beautiful coffee & fresh juices on offer here. A must visit if you’re in the area!
My partner and I came across this cafe and decided to pop in for brunch while wondering around Greville St. In an excellent location, the cafe had a very homely atmosphere and the staff were very cheery and friendly, however upon being seated it took a while before we were given menus and then again before anyone came back to take our orders. Following that though, the food came out promptly and we were pleasantly surprised by how vividly bright and delicious they were. They appear to change the menus seasonally, as the menu in Zomato is not quite the same as the one we chose from. We ordered the Eggs Benedict with Bloody Mary hollandaise on a potato hash, and pea and mint fritters with poached eggs, tabbouleh and beetroot hummus. The Bloody Mary hollandaise packed a delightful punch and the fritters were surprisingly light and crispy. The coffee wasn’t my favourite, but I would still visit again for the food in the future, and maybe grab a coffee elsewhere after.
In Short: We came to St. Edmonds cafe on a tip to find the best French Toast in Prahran and we found it in the Cornflake Crumbed French Toast. Back that up with brilliant coffee and a comfy backstreet vibe, and St. Edmonds is an essential element in the Prahran caféscape.
As a recently settled Melbournian, I still have to pinch myself when I think how lucky I am to live in a city with a street vibe that has few rivals. Take another step off the high street and that backstreet vibe of designer grit, graffiti gallery, and hipster hideout, ratchets up to a whole other level.

Decided to give this place a try after running errands nearby, and ended up being pleasantly surprised with the experience.
It was a lovely day and the cafe has large windows which let in lots of natural light, giving it a welcoming and cosy atmosphere. There is also a lovely spacious courtyard area perfect for sitting in on warm days.
My partner and I ordered an iced latte, the summer lovin’ (apple, pineapple, mint) juice, the special of the day which was a wagyu beef burger with fries, and the superbowl with shredded chicken.
Both drinks were good, perfect for combatting the hot day. The wagyu beef burger was tasty and well-balanced, the caramelised onions especially providing it with that extra flavourful kick. The fries were crispy and nice; the perfect accompaniment for the burger.
The superbowl was packed full of fresh ingredients - with the star being the pickled cabbage and pickled ginger. There was no dressing or sauce with the dish, instead the pickles brought all the ingredients together and gave it a subtle tang that acted as “the dressing”. It was really tasty and filling.
Found my new go-to lunch, that is the Brekkie Greens in St Edmonds. The kale makes your tummy full and having grains/almonds adds that nice crunch. I don’t know about you, but I get more satisfied with my food when there’s a crunchy texture in my meal. I recommend it, especially for sunny days where you want something fresh. Staff are friendly bunch of people.
Excellent food, coffee and service, always. This little gem is tucked away off Greville street in Prahan and had the cutest courtyard to enjoy.
So underrated! It's a small unassuming place right opposite Oscar Cooper, a bit hipster on the outside with minimalist signage, really easy to miss if you're not looking for it. The inside was pretty bustling and big though, staff/service was attentive, patient and friendly. I tried their special chilli/ginger hot choc, so yummy and unique. The food was unique and pretty yummy as well, my friend and I will definitely be back!
I came here for breakfast with my partner a couple of weeks ago. We'd walked past this place a few times but thought it might be really hipster and not our thing. We were pleasantly surprised! Great service and delicious meals. My partner had a burger and I had a potato roesti thing (my memory isn't great on what it was called on the menu but it was vegetarian and so yummy!). Nice coffee too. Would definitely recommend.
LOVED my visit here for a late brekky! I went for the soba noodles with chicken and can easily say I would eat this for every meal if I could! There’s lots of competition around but this cafe was a standout for me in Prahran.
Cute little cafe! I live in the area and it's great to find a place that caters for the 'locals'. We went Saturday & the place was packed! I had the brekky greens - delicious and healthy. My partner had the benedict and said it was amazing. Good coffee and friendly service. Will definitely be back soon!
Its such a cute space and the coffee is great! Unfortunately the muffin I had was literally inedible. Hard, dry and also chewy? an accomplishment to make a muffin taste so bad. Would not recommend
Came here today with my partner, Josh, for lunch. We had a table outside, which was nice, and our waitress was very friendly. For our food, I had the Brekkie Greens - which was delicious! - and Josh had the club sandwich with chips. Josh said the sandwich was really good, although the chips were just average.
I haven't been to St Edmonds in years, used to get coffee from here when I used to work around the corner. Today's take away latte was perfect and it gave me the caffeine burst I needed. A smooth and creamy coffee made correctly. I have eaten here in the past and the food was good back then so wouldn't mind coming back for a bite. Decor of cafe is nice with a back outdoor seated area, very cosy and comfortable.
With a day full of errands, I was in need a bit of refuelling before finishing the last bit of running around. I was in the Chapel/Greville Street area and thought I would pop into St Edmonds Cafe for a quick bite to eat. . ATMOSPHERE & SERVICE. Located just off Greville Street, I was drawn in by the colourful geometric graffiti that are painted on the front of the building. Here you will find two separate areas; the first is their main cafe with large coffee bar and a hand full of tables. The second is their funky outdoor dog friendly courtyard, with ample potted plants, wooden accents and comfy outdoor furniture.
Great vibe fitting of its Prahran barrio, St Edmonds is able to consistently deliver great caffeine fix for me. The local following is a testament of its popularity; and despite the competition in the vicinity St Ed is able to amongst the top. The food is standard fare and may even be called unimaginative, but executed beautifully.
Favourite cafe in Melbourne!
I've been coming to St Edmonds multiple times a week for years.
The staff are excellent and manager Sam has done such an awesome job getting it to where it is now. Food is always awesome, so shout out to the chefs!
Unfortunately the coffee has recently changed brands and it's a crap blend. Ditch the Au79 and bring back the old stuff.
Delicious! Lovely food and great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Had the Brekkie greens and apple pineapple mint juice. Would definitely come back, nice and quiet in busy chapel st area

Food: St. Edmonds put a healthy spin on brunch (or lunch) with a lot of their dishes, but you can still get some indulgent treats, if you fancy being not-so-healthy! I loved their big breakfast - it was tasty, filling and BIG! Their brekkie greens are also a great option if you want something a little lighter. Their coffee is also great.
Atmosphere/service: St. Edmonds have both an idea and a covered outdoor courtyard style eating area. We love the outdoor area, it's always lively and attracts a really mix of people. Tables are fairly small, so I'd try and book ahead if you are bringing a large group. Service is excellent. Staff are happy to chat about the menu and make recommendations, they are attentive and show a genuine interest. Real laid back atmosphere.
Would I recommend it: Definitely! Will it's possibly a little more pricey than some nearby places, you get good portion sizes and excellent food for your money. St. Edmonds have probably given us the best service we've had so far in Prahran, and they will go that extra mile to ensure you have a good experience.
A smallish, busy cafe with real soul and a lovely outdoor area which boosts the space. Friendly staff especially the lovely lady who looked after us, thank you! Food great, so to the coffee … nothing more to say really!. Corn & Broccoli Fritters on Sesame Miso Tahini, Baby Cress, Fennel, Pomegranate Dressing
When you walk in you should or will be greeted by the biggest smile. Seriously good hostess with an abundant amount of energy. The owners are obviously experienced and know what customer service is all about.
We ordered scrambled eggs on toast and two poached eggs on toast. I have to say mine were just about the best I've had in a very long time. " Superb"
We ordered a coffee and a pot of strong English breakfast tea. The tea was strong but not hot just lukewarm....which was disappointing considering the exceptional experience WITH the coffee, service and food.
Plenty of seating and funky as...well worth the visit.
Probably my fave breky joint in Melbourne. The ham hock, poached egg, smashed avo dish is superb. Decent coffee too and a great layout and vibe. I took my mum and dad here when they visited and she was initially OMG at a tattood guy making her breakfast, but was soon writing down the ingredients in her breky!
Good chai, good croissants. Partner had a egg and bacon roll, also yummy. Good service too- friendly enough, without being intrusive. Ambience as expected from a cafe in that area.
Been wanting to try this place for ages. Pretty much the epitome of a Melbourne cafe.. layout, graffiti, courtyard, young crowd but with this one the food is really good.
"KFC" Korean fried burger with mayo was juicy, crispy and delicious all in one. Good portions too.
The other dish was the coconut and prawn scramble. Interesting dish. The Asian flavors worked well and the portion size was huge!! A must try if you are looking for a little something different from a breakfast dish.
Staff here are so awesome especially the kiwi chick :)
Great food and coffee with a cool little courtyard out back! I always get smashed avo and a long black. Yum!
A favourite spot to WIP on a Monday. Delicious coffee, iced chai and breakfasts! Great courtyard for those warm spring and summer days; and awesome staff all year round.
Trendy little cafe in a trendy area. Food was so tasty and service was good. Pretty good pricing too actually. If I went back it would be hard to get something new as the salad I had last time was so tasty I couldn't fault it! Serving size was big but better than being too small
best coffee I've had anywhere in Melbourne yet!
and don't get me start with the dishes!
healthy, creative and most of all they are cooked to perfect with creative use of spice and nuts that both keeping the dish interesting and an experience.
and most credits goes to all the friendly staff one of the main reasons to go back for more!
Living close by and never had a chance to try it until today ! Cute little place, great food and excellent service ! #greenbreakie a must try
Gr8 place for breakfast- coffee was good- gr8 breakfast menu and everything I had was yummy- the place was packed and buzzing- nice courtyard area as well- overall very nice little place.
St. Edmonds is a great little haunt off Chapel St, definitely one of the better café's in the area. Outdoor area is prefect for a sunny weekend brunch. The food is great and healthy, coffee is good and staff are fairly laid back and friendly.
It's been over a year since I had been to St Edmonds but it was as enjoyable as ever. I've always been a fan of their Bircher, it's really tasty without being giant. The coffee is also nice and the service is really friendly. This place is one of my south side favourites
I ordered the greens with poached eggs and it was magnificent. My partner had the chicken salad which was equally as good. Great little place and on my 3rd visit, it still didn't disappoint.
Went for lunch with a group of friends. We were seated quickly, food was good apart from a stuff up with one order. The service needs work, we were served by basically everyone working in there so no one knew what was going on. The one waiter had no idea what he was serving us and just plonked plates wherever was closest.
An ex garage cafe who has maintained the garage theme in the decor with the cozy wooden furniture and denim clad staff. During a week day breakfast peak hour we were served by lovely and friendly staff (efficient service despite how busy it was!). Love the hustle and bustle and aroma of fresh coffee and toast in the air! My favorite menu item sampled here is the Maca green smoothie bowl! So fresh, healthy, colorful, light and at the same time filling with slow energy release and gluten free ; ) a guilt free pleasure!.. Several other tasty and hearty dishes on the menu!
Really cool small place with a tiny outdoor area in vibrant Prahran. Busy on weekends so be ready to wait. Delicious brunch and coffee and friendly staff. We have been going back there regularly.

Walked in, they were pretty busy. but staff all really friendly. Avo smash was probably the best I've had in a while. Cold drip was delish.
Great coffee, great food – probably the best bircher in Melbourne. The takeout menu provides very well-priced, slightly stripped down options of the eat in menu, the courtyard is gorgeous, and I've found the service to be warm (and fast) on every visit. Best breakfast spot on Greville Street for my money.
Pretty good. Nice little place off Greville St. Great atmosphere. Coffee is good, food is good. Definitely will go back. Well done St Edmunds.
I've only been to St Edmonds once, but I had a great experience. I ordered the eggs Benedict which was beautiful!! The service was fast, the food was great although the menu doesn't have many choices. All in all, I would go back for a quick meal or coffee!

Last few weeks of hospital placement meant I had to try as many nearby brunch places for the year as I could, before I am banished to the outer suburbs of south-east Melbourne next year. St Edmonds in Prahran is a conveniently located cafe with a great courtyard dining area.

VIBRANT CAFE WITH GREAT BRUNCHES -- St Edmonds is a really cool vibrant cafe, with wonderful stylish premises and a menu that satisfies both the carnivore and the vegan in you; they also have specials of the day, something I always love.
My raw zucchini 'noodles' salad with added trout was not pretty to look at it, but it was excellent. A good serving portion of very fresh raw ingredients, the trout cooked wonderfully medium rare, and a sauce packed with flavour enveloping all the ingredients. Absolutely yummy.
Coffee was beautifully prepared and good, but it is on the strong side, so it might not be your thing if you are into smooth coffee. I liked it.
The layout, style and vibe of the place are very much my cup of tea, but a bit too noisy. The music was too loud, which forced some people to speak quite loudly. However, the courtyard has somewhat a more relaxed and quiet atmosphere even though was also full
St Edmonds was fully packed with patrons from all ages when I visited, with a short cue at the door. Really, I like the cafe and the food, but I don't think it is worth the cue! My opinion.
Service was matter of fact.
A funky little cafe tucked away just off Greville St in Prahran. We ordered the poached eggs on sourdough - really tasty. Coffee was good too. Will definitely return to explore their menu. Oh and it's the one with all the graffiti on the outside! John Isaac
Great set up. Good location. Cool open area and delicious, creatively presented food. Service was ok. Will be back for sure.........,,,,,,,...
Ok, so I noticed something today, Melbourne has a lot of dog friendly places that not a lot of people know about. Mostly, the people who are in the know are the locals. Well that’s why we are here!. St Edmonds is just another one, and one that we quite enjoyed! Thanks to a tip off by a good friend of ours, we had to pop in and check this place out! 😀
Being invited to come to Prahan and dine at St Edmonds two months ago (I didn’t have time to blog about it before I dashed off overseas!) came at the perfect time as I was feeling rundown and in need of nourishment which is exactly what this cafe provides. Hidden down a quieter street off Chapel St in Prahan, this grungy hole in the wall hosts a great outdoor area and extensive menu. When we visited, we were lucky enough to have a Winter day where the sun decided to pay Melbourne a visit and sitting in their courtyard with our sunglasses on and indulging in some healthy brunch options was the perfect way to while away a Saturday morning.
Incredible food and service. Great vibe and even better coffee. I have all the time in the world for this place. A cafe that embodies the essence of Melbourne culture.
Breakfast with bacon and eggs on a crusty bread was brilliant. The Wi-Fi was excellent which was kind of important given that I was dinning on my own. Nice to see a dog friendly cafe it really makes it a happy place.
Nice atmosphere, dog friendly, friendly staff. Loved the bircher muesli with pomegranate, passionfruit and coconut. Could eat that every morning on the way to work. Really comfortable place to sit down and relax and enjoy good food, some places just don't have it, this place does.
Great service and atmosphere at this destination cafe just off Greville St. I feel that it really represents the Melbourne Cafe scene. Delicious menu, hard to choose from. I had the maca green smoothie bowl w/ avo, banana, mango, spinach, pistachio, oats & fresh berries w/ choc granola underneath. Staff were friendly and great range of snacks/lunches to take on the go. Will be back!
Would have been a 5 out of 5 experience if it wasn't due to a group of smokers were seated right next to us in the courtyard. That ruined it.
Fantastic! I really enjoyed my time there. The menu is great full of healthy options. The staff is friendly and the coffee is amazing. 😄👍❤️
One of my favourite cafes! The staff are friendly and provide great service. The menu offers a wide variety of food, catering for the health conscious as well as the hungover! ;)
And love the set up of the cafe, great courtyard for when the sun is shining!
Loved this little cafe. A grungy hole in the wall in Prahran with a great outdoor area and extensive menu. I love trying new and different brunch options and it was fantastic being able to have such nourishing, healthy options to choose from. The breakfast greens with the trout was so delicious and filling, and I felt so good afterwards- being able to have salad for breakfast but still have it feel like a substantial, nourishing meal was excellent. The avocado smash on toast was great and coffee good too. Definitely a great spot for a wholefoods brunch right off Chapel St.
We love the breaky greens and the almond lattes, some of the most nourishing food in town. Great atmosphere and good variety of paleo-friendly meals on the menu. Always fresh and delicious. :)
One of the best cafe's I've been to in Melbourne! Prompt and lovely service, "best coffee ever" according to my mother, and amazing food that came out so quickly we couldn't believe it! It's a shame I don't live closer, otherwise I would be having their Brekkie Greens every morning! Looking forward to my next trip there
P.s. my parents would love it if you started selling your beans!
St. Edmonds has some of the best coffee I have ever had. This gem of a place is definitely worth checking out. I would even go as far to say that it's worth going to the south side for 😳
The service was good. The food was great , it tasted fresh we had avocado toast with poached egg and goat cheese and the other dish was slow cooked lamb toastie . Coffee were also very good !
Fantastic coffee, food and staff a great little hidden spot and a regular of mine for many years can not go wrong with this cafe weekday or weekend.
Best coffee ever. I never leave disappointed and the breakfast is spot on too...perfect poached eggs and the breakfast greens look so pretty! I always get food envy when I look around at other people's plates! Best of all the service is consistent and always welcoming.
The place was hiding! I didn't realise there was such good restaurant with great atmosphere nearby. It was very comfy. Went there for lunch with my friend who showed me this hidden restaurant. The food was yummy. Will go back there again soon!
My local and default brunch restaurant in Melbourne. The coffee is consistently good and the food is always on par, fresh and flavoursome. The only fault is that the portions can occasionally be variable, on the small side. Most weeks it's a good portion size, but sometimes it can be noticeably smaller.
The breakie greens and poached eggs are pretty yum, but I always find it hard to go past the smashed avo and ham hock and poached eggs. Fantastic for a Saturday morning recovery after a bigger than expected friday night.
It's a typically Melbourne place, with the space previously being a car repair garage but make sure you get in early on weekends, otherwise there will be a wait.
Awesome service, awesome coffee, awesome courtyard!
It stood out on the menu for me — I love Asian flavours and particularly like non-traditional breakfast fare (if I’m going to wake up early, it’s for more than bacon and eggs).
The omelette tasted good. The flavours were subtle but definitely there. It was a light start to the day. My only complaint: I wanted more (I can be a piggy at breakfast).
My bloke went for the breakfast burrito. With scrambled egg and a range of other fillings it was a heartier option that suited him just fine.
Breakfast burrito at St Edmonds
... I decided to grab the House bircher muesli with dried apricot, apple and toasted coconut. I am big fan of bircher and St Edmonds did not disappoint. Good quality oats, very fresh, the apricot and apple worked well together and the toasted coconut added some awesome taste and texture. Most importantly (for me at least) it was room temperature! Nothing ruins a good bircher
Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The only disappointment was that it took multiple requests to get our bill before we could leave, especially after having such speedy service when ordering and receiving our food.
St Edmonds is an all out food/coffee/alcohol destination; working around the clock providing breakfast, lunch and dinners (most nights). It is truly great to see a place like this come up in the area, especially with so many places on downhill slope. I have been proven you can go against the grain and it’s likely that you will think the same.
Love this place. Great coffee, friendly staff and a really nice, relaxed vibe. Recommend the Bircher muesli, best I've tried. 10/10
A decent breakfast option. I visited St Edmonds this morning (Sunday) for breakfast & despite a slow start quite enjoyed the experience.
We seated ourselves outside & although service wasn't as attentive as I would have liked (it took a while to receive menus & place our orders), the menu was to my liking as was the food.
I enjoyed the raw kale & broccoli salad with avocado, buckwheat, pistachios & pulled duck, which was topped with 2 poached eggs.
It was HUGE! It may sound healthy but was certainly filling & satisfying- so much so that I had to ask my male companion to finish it for me.
Yum :)
New & improved. St Edmonds has always been a cool place in my opinion. However now under the new management, it seems like a totally fresh, hip new place and I recommend everyone to try it or revisit it. Excellent wait staff especially the beautiful women, incredible coffee and food. Such a nice environment with the old manager gone. Go stedmonds!!
Much better under new management. Happier staff, warm service and a nice place to be. Absolutely love the breaks greens and the coffee is incredible. Well done guys for turning this around!
-----17 Oct, 2014-----
I always feel like an intruder. If it wasn't for this I would come more often because it's so close. Lovely coffee and tasty food but don't expect a warm welcome or service with a smile...seriously guys get over yourselves with the too-cool-for-school attitudes towards customers. It always leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I'm surprised they won't make this simple, but crucial change. Being friendly is not hard.
Lovely singleton winter warmer. Went to meet a friend for lunch at st edmonds but she was a late cancellation so i ended up on own. not so sad to be at a clean sunny table on a cold winter's day with a coffee and the paper, a rare solitary luxury. midweek not as busy as weekends. staff were friendly & efficient, didn't ask me to move or speed up once i'd confirmed i was to be dining on own after all. coffee & lamb soup were absoutely delicious. i was a bit hesitant about staying on own, having read some of these reviews, but the staff were just fine. it got really busy just as i was leaving, so perhaps i got my timing right for once. thanks for a lovely private break.
Really nice coffee and lunch special. Breakfast leaves a bit to be desired, but overall a nice little spot
Funky Cafe. Great coffee, good staff, love the atmosphere.. will be back!!
So good I came up with a new word.... Actualoutely: As in; actualoutely amazing. The words I used to describe the big breakfast in St Edmonds. I wouldn't normally be a fan of tomatoes as part of a breakfast. However, they serve the tomatoes with melted cheese on top. This gets two thumbs up from me. I wanted to shake the chefs hand when I'd finished.
Having planned on going elsewhere in the area, I had a look at the menu as I walked past. The decision was made to try out a breakfast at St. Edmonds. It was the right decision. Great coffee, great food, friendly staff, excellent layout. Very surprised to see poor reviews. I'll definitely be going again.
Great!. Surprised to read bad reviews about the service here. When it first opened I recall waiting aaaages for a take away coffee, but more recently I've found the service friendly and efficient (maybe I've just managed to avoid the infamous owner!). Have had the mushrooms, the pulled pork bun, the pork eggs ben - all have been great and reasonably priced.
Consistent. Always great food and service
Love the staff
Best bloody Mary in town
Smiley coffee guy is....well...really smiley
Can't fault it (except on a really hot day)
Cool little place. This is a great little cafe with good coffee and yummy food. The courtyard to the side of the venue is lovely. A nice place to do brunch and the staff are really friendly.
Delicious Breakfast!. Have been here twice for food, the first time was for porridge and it was amazing, very light and fluffy. It was a massive portion, with bananas and honey? I don't remember 100%, just that it was lovely.
The second time was this morning, I had the zucchini and corn fritters which comes with smoked salmon, pickles, salmon roe, pickled onion, dill, everything in this dish worked beautifully, it was delicious!!!! My friend said his breakfast (eggs benny w/ham hock) was the best he had EVER had!
The service has been consistently laid back and friendly. And its just a cool little place with nice decor and court yard.
Great little cafe. Loved the rustic feel. Eggs Benedict was on point - probably one of the better ones I've had. Will definitely be returning.
Hipster cool. I was most surprised how good the $11 porridge breakie was: fantastic grilled banana (actually caramelized with a crunchy layer of brown sugar), most interesting quinoa topping to pretend to be healthy, and such a generous helping I could not finish it. The sandwiches were also very appealing. I was however not impressed with the ho so tiny short black, and the side of soda water was too salty to complement the too biter coffee; mind you other people actually loved this. Come early if you want to avoid the hipster crush.
Such great friendly staff and consistently delicious food
Very Melbourne. Good coffee. The dinning room is so lovely you wish it was your home.
Will be back soon!. Great set up, and service. Great variety on menu. Have had several breakfast dishes, generous portions, and good coffee! Detailed presentation of food. Quinoa salad is on of my favourites! If you're in the neighbourhood or happen to be walking past, great casual brunch date place.
The food at St. Edmond's is really good, i definitely would recommend the quinoa and lamb salad that they have. The atmosphere outside is really nice and comfortable.
Awesome!. Great food, ive tried the pho, the burger and the quinoa salad and they're all amazing! Always great specials on the board and reasonably priced for such a good feed. Staff are great and always friendly. 10/10! :)
Delicious food & coffee. Breakfast burrito a saviour after a big night.
Place to go. This cafe has a nice outdoor area with a great atmosphere. The customer service was great. The club sandwich was by far my most favourite dish. The meals are definitely worth it's value. You will not be disappointed.
Coffee. The food is fantastic and the service is quick and the staff is very friendly. The coffee is very good quality and you know your paying for the best. Good location and overall a great place.
Definitely coming back. Great atmosphere both in and outdoors.
Inviting and friendly staff and service was excellent. Probably one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Definitely recommend it if you're around Prahran, definitely coming back for that Burger
Coffee coffee coffee. So great to know I can always rely on the great team at st Edmonds to consistently deliver delicious coffee day after day!! The staff are always up for a chat and the atmosphere is spot on!!!
Not only is the coffee top notch but the food is also. They mix it up with the specials board changing all the time - I'm never short of choice!
One happy lady! Great work!
COOL PLACE. St Edmonds is in an awesome location on Greville street and has a great atmosphere. The food is great, the service is quick and the staff are friendly and baben. I would definitely recommend eating at this joint.
Great Food, Great Coffee!. Went in during a busy Saturday morning and was immediately served and sat by the friendly staff. Ordered the wagyu burger & chips and really enjoyed the food (great presentation as well.)
Great location for me since I live just around the corner. Will definitely return.
8.5/10
Good muesli. Pleased with the service and the surroundings were very cute! Chai lattes were over priced and could of been better and as well as the fruit salad - some fruits were not ripe enough. The toasted muesli however was delicious! The best I've had in a long time! So I left very pleased. Cute place in a good location.
I had a great long lunch in there this week. We had the slow braised lamb and quinoa last salad, and the Vietnamese coleslaw with chicken salad. Both were outstanding! Considering how long will in there we had great service from the staff who were very helpful, welcoming, and fun. Great service, great food, minimal pretension. I'll definitely be back, boys!
Been here a few times and have really enjoyed the food and coffee. Interesting menu with something for everyone and every occasion. Also one of the best burger and chips I've had. Portion sizes leave nothing to be desired. Service is personable and light hearted with staff looking happy in their work and an atmosphere which is vibrant and a lot of fun.
All good. Soufled omelette great, coffee above average. Service okay. Not a stand out.
Amazing! Bircher Muesli was great, smashed avo on toast was fresh & the souffled omelette was delicious! Would definitely go again.
So good, I would eat here topless. Smashed avocado on toast with poached egg. Sometimes hamhock if I'm hungover...that is all!
Hot tip : they could speed up their service a tad bit
Freaking amazeballs! Genuine service, not a single false hospo smile in sight. Coffee was rich and caramel-like. Mushrooms with ham hock was to die for. Porridge was creamy with well balanced sweetness. Will definitely be back...
This place is now my new regular coffee shop. Great coffee, more specifically to my taste: awesome mochas! ham cheese & tomato croissant is like no other! The best for a quick stop.
Only prolblem - coffee varies quite significantly depending on who makes it, i know how makes the average coffee and ill skip it when he is the barista.
Perfection!. As soon as I entered I knew this was going to be good. Coffee was delicious(if you like it strong),the food was delicious and the staff were very onto it. The music topped off a good sunday brunch at St edmonds that we followed up with a beer just for an excuse to stay! Will definitely be back!
The spicy chicken roll with avocado salsa was simply amazing! From the first bite of chicken to the last bite of bread, the experience received by my taste buds was divine. Service by the adam squared team was brilliant, friendly and efficient, adding to the overall dining experience.
Yum. Finally visited St Edmonds as a very close friend recommended it as she loves it...now i know what she is talking about.....Great vibe,had the new Zucchini Fritters...which were so delicious and fresh,Coffee was perfect and service fast and fun ...cannot wait to go back and hopefully enjoy an afternoon drink ...well done guys ,breath off fresh air...
Saint Amazing!. St E's is one of my favourite spots to relax, eat a ripper breakfast and read the paper! Highly recommended!
Great coffee, great service, had the lamb ribs they were braised beautifully. Will be back!
Great fun and food. Had a brilliant breakfast at St Edmond's this morning, outside in the sun it was gorgeous. The bircher was perfect, not too sweet and my boy had eggs that were creamy and delicious. The staff are a lot of fun, there is great energy in that place. Thanks guys we'll be back!
Good food, good coffee, overall good experience!
Love this place! Had their new breakfast menu, and it was spot on. Staff took my order on a very hot long black perfectly, and delivered. Close to best coffee (and they serve with sparkling water too:) in the area. Cool welcoming people,I really quite like the place!
Smiling ear to ear. I have now been to the adorable 'St Edmonds' on two separate occasion and I can honestly say I have been blown away by the venue, service, coffee and food both times. It is great value for money and such a cosy warm environment to hang with friends and enjoy outstanding food. The staff are the icing of top of the cake, they are relaxed, fun and get the job done. I find it very hard to come across great customer service these days without the staff coming across fake. I HIGHLY recommend that you go enjoy the menu, coffee, venue and staff as soon as possible.
Went on a buzzing Fri night and it was quite busy in the courtyard. we all had dinner, nothing was amazing but it was acceptable. Waiter was very friendly, service was put on tonight! Cocktails were nice. Ill be back maybe for brekky. Cheers guys
Good food. Have been there a few time recently and just as well the food was yummo as the service has been really hit and miss. Do like the menu though and if they can teach one of the waiters how to crack a smile it would be right up there.

Well.... I went there today for breakfast, and I loved it. Obviously it was a sleepy Tuesday morning in Prahran, but I found it excitingly lovely and relaxing. The music was perfect, Fleet Foxes, Isbells or something similar. Relaxing, hipster, and appropriate to the time and place, perfect actually. Coffee was great, service friendly, space amazing. I think the menu is great, offers everything you want, and if you want to go crazy you can. I did. The crab omelette was amazing! It was so good that I can't believe it can be so all the time, it could have been let down in so many ways: Little crab meat, bread, stuffing up the balance, as so many chefs do trying to do asian flavours with western training. I let my coffee go cold so I wouldn't miss anything. I will go back and see if it is as good again. I found the staff great, leaving you alone a bit, attentive a bit. Maybe it is different when they are busy. Coffee is not quick even when quiet, but well made and not cold. I really liked it. Maybe they fall down when it is busy? I don't know yet. My pepper grinder was empty on a Tuesday, as were the two on either side of me. Hate to use urban spoon for such a trivial thing, but maybe that is the sort of system thing that everyone else is whinging about. I loved it, made me feel great and inspired, people doing good stuff in a good space.
Great food .. Had the mushrooms n poached egg in toast w a side of fried .. All delicious .. Serve size generous ... Shame coffee not gr8 but will go back to try other menu items
A lovely meal I had. Satisfactory service, but quite a limited menu, and they should introduce fresh juiced onto the menu. Otherwise, I enjoyed a hearty salad, anc my acquaintance thoroughly enjoyed her meal too.
Love it. Could b best breakfast going round. Friendly but professional staff, great coffee, awesome food.
Love this place. Great coffee, great food (esp. the steak sandwich), and hot staff. Always has atmosphere too.
I've become quiet the regular here and wouldn't want to go anywhere else, constantly greeted with a smile and always a good morning, the staff are prompt and the coffee is amazing , if you can catch Emmett on the machine , he will never disappoint !
The foods very good too, the Sharing plates are a great idea and night out with a couple of friends over a nice glass of vine
Best burgers!. Another amazing burger night at St Edmonds last night - fast becoming a highlight of the week in this dreary weather!
Great value and always a delicious selection - also appreciate there being a gluten free option so I don't feel like I'm missing out.
Aside from the burger nights, it's so refreshing to have a cafe that changes up the regular menu frequently.
Inconsistency. Coffee can good at times but sometime extremely bad, burnt and under extracted. Milk smells on a few occasion.
Inconsistent. Hope they can better!
TOPS!. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!!!
What an incredible space with an atmosphere to match! Felt immediately welcome and comfortable. The staff were friendly and attentive, service was prompt despite being busy. Hands down best coffee and menu this side of town. Great experience here. Will most certainly be back!
AN EXCELLENT FIND!. Trust me when I say this, I'm obsessed with food and customer service and when a place can deliver on both, they have definitely won a customer for life! I do like to try new places but I must admit... I'm a creature of habit and will always return to a place I know I will be looked after at.
When I stumbled upon St Edmonds last week I was starving so my meal had to be perfect and let me tell you it was beyond that! The pasta was perfectly al dente and the flavours complimented each other so well.
The most impressive part of my visit was the service I received from the manager. He was so attentive and knew his stuff!
On top of all of that, I really love the feel of the place. It's super relaxed with an elegant touch. Do yourself a favour and head down to St Edmonds for an experience you will love.
I love a good share plate and st Edmonds dinner share plates are definitely my fav in Melbourne. The sashimi and the duck crepe is by far my number one choices. On the top of that the atmosphere under the big tree in the courtyard and the awesome service from the staff makes for a perfect dinner with my girlfriends.
Exactly what Greville Street Needed!. Yet to have a bad experience, I have eaten at St Edmonds religiously every weekend since they opened, despite how busy they are they always find me a seat to perch! Great coffee, great food & staff that know your order without you having to even speak.
In for lunch today and I must say the crab omelette is fantastic and a friends had the big breakfast. Coffee was good and the service was great ANC I will be back again my new hot spot.
Awesome food and ESP the wine. Bonus was the very accomadating and obliging owner Adam! Great local!
Good food, Yummy wine and a very obliging owner, Adam :)
By far , best coffee blend I have had in a while . Plus amazing food to go with it, best to head there early as it gets crazy packed with the outdoor courtyard.
I dont write reviews often but it's great to leave somewhere that can completely turn your day around. My experience at st Edmunds earlier today was a rare delight. I had a great coffee and delicious meal but nothing beats being greeted with a smile. Everyone in there was really pleasant, and I really enjoyed the ambiance. I'll definitely be back!
Very friendly atmosphere. Nice to take the baby and friends down there for a relaxed yummy breakfast and lunch. Love the music too.
Bit expensive but great.. Yum yum! This is one of my favourite cafes / hangout places in Prahran - it can get a bit busy in early evenings and sometimes at lunch, but great during odd hours! The lunch and breakfast menus are a bit expensive, but I love their big cabinet of breakfast and lunch paninis and burgers (there's a great scrambled egg & avocado mini burger!)
Most of the staff are pretty great too.

Iced Coffee made the way I like it; just ice, espresso and cold milk. Served in very cute, little cup....Edit (2013)
.....
This had been on my mind for years. There's a reason why I haven't been back here, and I'm sure a lot has changed by now. The last time I was here (in 2013 when Swinburne used to be around) I had my usual latte after studying. I was the only customer as it was the afternoon. I couldn't help but hear what the male staff was saying to the female - it sounded like the female just started working there and was not a local. The male staff was saying inappropriate comments about what she can do with her time, and how she should smile and laugh at what he's saying. The female was polite and kinda laughing it off but wasn't comfortable. I wasn't comfortable. And really regretted not telling her before I left this cafe that this isn't what working in a cafe is like and shouldn't put up with him. I really hope things have changed for the better now, because I liked the coffee here.
Super friendly staff and absolutely delicious breakfast - a new local favorite of mine now!
Great menu & lovely food. The staff were fine and the dinner prices were very reasonable. The teriyaki salmon for $20 was great.
Great place. Really enjoyed my lunch there. Took my 10 month baby and the waitress was lovely enough to carry her round the place while I ate. It was quite expensive, but had a really nice feel.
Ok ... But $y. As an almost daily eat-out-for-lunch guy, I know a bit about lunches. Lunch is a tasty affair at St Edmonds but you sure will be paying for it! It's really expensive for the portion sizes and service does come with attitude....is it worth it? Maybe when it's not so busy and you actually get service.
Finally tried this out yesterday for breakfast and it was Fantastic! The coffee was beautiful , friendly and efficient staff and the food was to die for... Defintely somewhere worth trying for those if u who haven't . And I will be back again
Great food, great service, great atmosphere... One of the best cafes in Melbourne!
Beautiful little place for dinner on a warm night! The courtyard is lovely, food came out fast, looked great, tasted amazing, mainly the fig balls, a must eat! New fav place :)
I was so shocked to see some bad reviews of st edmonds! i've been trying new cafes all over melbourne and st edmonds is my new favourite place! only been once so far (but will 100% be back soon!) and had such a perfect experience - waitors were super friendly but not annoying, food came out exceptionally quickly, tasted great, we made a couple of changes to the dishes from the menu and the food came out exactly the way we asked for, and wasn't too expensive! what more could you ask for?? we were talking about how good the place was for the rest of the day. i have no affiliation with the place - not related or friends with the owners or anything like that, im just a customer that loved it!
Went for breakfast this morning, even though it was very busy the staff managed it well, taking my number and calling me with a table within 5 minutes, the coffees were very fast and good at that. The food was also tasty!
The coffee was beautiful and the staff were very friendly.
Went for lunch the other day. Snapper was fresh and amazing. Coffee was great and all the staff are mega babes and super friendly. Will definitely be coming back and recommending it to all of my friends.
So refreshingly perfect in every way. I have been wanting to hit St Edmonds since it opened and today I finally did. Great atmoshpere, casual friendly staff, awesome aprons, great syndicate coffee, a different looking and wonderfully tasting breakfast menu & superb urban fit out. It is just fantastic to see the i's dotted and the t's crossed and so much effort has gone into this beautiful hole in the wall. Congratulations - you should all be super proud.
Lovely lovely. Beautiful food, great friendly interior, quick service and great staff with very cool aprons. The Eggs Benedict and the Bircher are personal faves! Not to mention the coffee- it's just all good!
Fun and funky. Soooo nice to have this place as my new local for breakfast... Great fit out, love the herbs hanging from the wall. Breakfast menu is just perfect in choices and price. Breaky was yum! Could not fault breaky here.. its busy but not so much that you can't have a conversation with your breakfast buddy or hear yourself think like other local breakfast places. Also great to eat here on your own up at the bench and read the paper, staff really friendly.
However, went back for dinner, not fantastic, it was a quiet rainy night and not busy but had to call the waitress over from talking to a friend, gave us the wrong drinks and the food was only just ok... nothing to rave about.
Will definiately be back to try dinner again but at this stage think Breakfast is the time of choice to visit here...
All things aside love this place and is my new hang out... so probably shouldnt be encouraging people to go so that I can always get a table!!!!!
Great vibe. Staff are an eclectic bunch who are friendly. A small wait for coffee but it's well worth it.
Dinner to Die For.............. Ten out of ten guys, great fit out, funky tunes and the staff made me and my friends feel very welcome. Highly reccomend the lamb cutlets and meatballs, the lamb was very tender and cooked to perfection - great dinner menu. Looking forward to coming back for breakfast. Keep up the good work guys and this place will soon become a Melbourne Institution.

Finally a place that get's it right in my neighbour hood.
It's great to walk into a place that you know the owners have thought about everything. The fit-out is very cool.
When I first walked in the door I was greeted by friendly staff, which they quickly found me a table even though the place was full and very lively. I order my coffee and with-in minutes I had received a great flat white.
I had a quick read of the menu and it looked amazing. I didn't have time to eat so next time I will be there for the food. I loved that the menu is short.
I ordered another coffee to go since the first one was so good. I got it within minutes again. I have to admit I have read the reviews above and all I can say is that if you have never made coffee before you probably don't understand how long it takes to make and also you never see how many dockets are lined up. If someone gets their coffee before you do even if you ordered before them it's because the barista is grouping the dockets by milk. This is for efficiency. So give the guys a break.
I think this is going to be my new local. Thanks guys.
Melbourne Cafe scene at its best!. I've been watching the development of St Edmonds with keen anticipation. Finally the wait is over.
My first experience was all i had hoped it would be. On arrival you're hit with a real warm and inviting space. The fitout is different from just about anywhere else i've eaten. Which is a relief as i'm forever eating in venues that all look the same.
The coffee did take longer than i would have liked but it was a Sat morning and the place was at capacity. In coming weeks i think they will rectify this.
The food was fresh and very different to the stock standard that you get in most Melb cafes. Its all organic and seasonal which is crucial if you want food with real taste.
Staff were friendly and proactive, knowing when to prompt for service and when not to.
In all 8 out of 10. Worth a visit.

Funky tunes, good coffee and fast friendly service. Try the crab omlette.
I'd eat there everyday!. I had spotted St. Edmonds earlier on in the week and went there for breakfast yesterday morning. First thing I notice: It was busy!
Everything is organic, free range and sounds (and from what I saw, looks) delicious. For the quality of food you are eating the prices are also reasonable.
I chose the chilli egg and swimmer crab omellette with sesame roti. For me, it was like eating a bowl of good pho in the form of an omellete... perfectly seasoned and balanced, accomponied by a delicous chilli sauce and there was a handful of corriander and beansprouts placed on top to reshresh the dish.
The staff are also friendly, (though a bit slow and unorganised... my cappucino took 7 minutes for take away... and the customer after me was served first).
When I was eating the chef came out and asked me what I thought, I swallowed immediatley and said 'it's the best thing i've eaten!'... i'm coming back for dinner and i'm spreading the word about this place!
One of the best breakfast locations an food and service but will be hard to get into because of the above
Used to come here all the time for brunch and coffee when we lived in the area, and always enjoyed it.
Ordered strong flat whites today and they were proper double-shot which was great. The poached eggs were poached perfectly and the friend eggs with mushrooms were perfect, simple but delicious. I also ordered chilli sauce on the side which went really well with the eggs.
The service was warm & attentive, and the vibe is really chill, exactly what you want on a Saturday morning. Since I last went, there’s much more of a Japanese influence in the menu and even in the decor, which really suits well 👌🏾
Visited St Edmonds just as the Melbourne restrictions were relaxed.
Great cafe and vibe with super friendly and attentive wait staff. They managed the COVID restrictions like pro's which made us feel at ease.
The courtyard is a great area to dine with your four-legged friends.
The coffee was quick and delicious. The food was of incredible quality and also delicious.
There was nothing to fault, overall an incredible post-lockdown brunch!!! Definitely recommend.

Absolutely love the backstreet local cafe vibe here. We came on a tip to try their Cornflake Crumbed French Toast and were definitely not disappointed. Aside from the amazing french toast, they do top notch coffee and a range of super healthy cafe favourites. The vibe is comfortable and the service is welcoming. One of the best in Prahran.
Great cafe with awesome outdoor space with heaters in winter that’s dog friendly.
Vegan and can be made vegan options on the menu and great coffee menu.
I had the roast cauliflower steak and a cold brew coffee (yay that they still have it even in winter)
Outdoor seating area was cute and a great vibe to catch up with friends. Food was delish especially my Hash Stack! The sauce was perfect and everything was well-balanced as well. We had to wait for our friends for quite a long time but the waiter was patient with us.
Best vegan cooked breakfast I’ve ever had.
The service and food was outstanding.
I went here for breakfast on a Saturday morning and ordered the vegan big breakfast, it was so tasty and fresh. It had the most delicious cooked spinach, mushrooms (I don’t know what they cooked these with but they were so delicious) and tomato with sourdough toast and hash brown. Such a nice treat after always having to just order the granola breakfast at most cafes because there’s nothing else vegan that is delicious. Great chai also.
