Not normally one to jump on and bang on but this place is the bomb diggity.
Thought it may have been a pure fluke the first couple of times I paid a visit as not only was the food an answer for my prayers for my too often than not hangover, but the coffee is probably one of the best I've had around the Richmond (richwhhhaaaa, richMOND) burbs.
On top of all that (cool ya jets - I'm not finished yet) the staff are awesome. I'll admit I'm a cafe slurry and in the industry - can't help but nitpick sometimes (admit it we all do it) but these guys do make you feel welcome and like your at home. The good vibes from the team filter down to the customers. I reckon they'd be a good bunch to have a beer or ten with. This is why I rate it in my top three. All because of the team. They could serve me dirt on toast and I'd be happy.
Alright rant done,
See ya next time gang :)
Such an amazing venue, the staff are so kind and caring and Henry � well he just makes this place extra special.
The food you can’t go wrong with anything I think I’ve tried it all.
Best scrambled eggs in Melbourne or for lunch the I can’t go past the Poke Bowl � or super salad.
If you havn’t been definitely give it a crack. It quickly became my regular and I live 15min bike ride away.

📝: Home to the prettiest pancakes in Richmond. Pillar of Salt is doing takeaways, so you can still definitely get your delicious brunch fix!
❤️: Such interesting fusion brunches. My favorite was the Pan Fried Gnocchi with 🎃pumpkin purée, sage, 🌰toasted almonds, peas, 🧀ricotta salata stuffed zucchini flower.
The 🥑Smashed Avo was super interesting, with poached bean hummus, 🖤walnut black sesame dukkah, and 🐙squid ink pickled daikon radish.
The Pancake Stack was really heavy though. It was sweet and quite dry, couldn’t eat so much of it.

Both food and coffee at Pillar of salt really impressed us. For savoury dishes, we had the red chilli scrambled eggs and eggs royale. The chill scrambled was is my all time favourite brekky and they definitely nailed it. The most memorable dish has got to be the beachy pancake stack. It looks so amazing and was really good. It was a perfect finish for our brunch.
The staff was attentive and lovely too. Recommend this place!
I had the pleasure of having a meal at Pillar of Salt, a hip venue where you’re guaranteed to find something unforgettable. I had the beachy pancakes which looked fantastic if not a little exotic. There was cream cheese stuffed inside the cone which was used to spread onto the pancakes to balance out the blueberry sauce and chocolate. The only fault I can place is that the portion size became slightly overwhelming by the end, but it was a very good meal nonetheless and I highly recommend it for anyone who hasn’t been there before.
Lovely place, been here few times, the menu was quite interesting, food was pretty nice, coffee was ok, love their daily juice, the service was friendly and nice.

I was craving for some greek food and I wanted to try something different and something new from my usual hummus and pita so I went for Pillar of Salt’s Greek Board and it was phenomenal!
FOOD & COFFEE: I ordered the ‘Greek Board’ because alot of the things that were on it were food I’ve always wanted to try from Greek restaurants but never wanted to order full portions. This Greek Board is fabulous for people who want a bit of everything and can I just say the Loukaniko is the best sausage I’ve ever had in my entire life? Its so much better than chorizo because it has the texture of a sausage which is softer but the flavour is one that matches chorizo which has a hint of spice. The pita was super soft and amazing with the dips! I never tried taramasalata and was always curious and now that I’ve tried it, I can say it ruined me 🤣 The scrambled eggs were done really well as well and I liked how it wasn’t overly seasoned so the other flavours balance it! The saganaki was kinda tough and reminded me of halloumi but less milky. I also ordered a soy latte and it was good! It did however have a bitter bite! But the soy went really well with it!
SERVICE: Service is really pleasant and friendly! They were really attentive and it was service with a smile! Also the food was served really fast which i luuuved!
Pillar of Salt is one of Richmond’s very best and I can tell why! It’s bustling and full of people and it gives the CLASSIC cafe vibe which I love! The food selection is also so lovely, catering to savoury and sweet! I’ll definitely be returning 🥰
Delicious food, extensive menu, great service and decor too. The coffee was amazing and scrambled eggs melted in your mouth! Don’t be surprised if you have to wait for a table because this is one of those cafes in high demand!!
Amazing service, food and coffee. I had the Royale eggs and every bite was delicious, must try if you love salmon or Eggs Benedict! Very friendly and attentive staff and fast service. Highly recommend!
Oh mamma, @pillarofsaltcafe knows how to Egg Benedict. Poached eggs with shredded Otway Cape Ham Hock covered in Hollandaise sauce... Okay stop it, your drooling all over the floor! Was glad, my sister chose to go here on my arrival back into melbourne. Get round it
🔸 Pan fried Portuguese Sardines 🔸on toast w. Housemade ketchup, pickled red onions, truss cherry tomatoes, crispy lillyput capers and preserved lemon. $16.50 I give this dish a 9/10, well thought through meal, with bursting flavours all over the dish! The ketchup went really well with the sardines and those cherry tomatoes were acidic and well cooked (almost my fav thing on the plate ;). Left Feeling full and satisfied! Well done @pillarofsaltcafe ✔️
Love this place. Delicious fresh food and awesome service. I had the Californian Super Salad. Very colourful and satisfying. You can rely on this place for a quality experience.
very nice Cafe with nice ambience and decor. recommend if in the area. prices are on par with other cafes. lots of veg options which is great to see.
So beautiful cafe in Richmond.
Both coffee and food are amazing.
Staff was kind, really perfect place!
We ventured out of our suburb to try new brunch places and were pleasantly surprised by the food here. We both had the 15th century eggs, and absolutely loved the dish! The staff were super helpful and friendly as well. Will definitely come back 😊
Very popular cafe in Richmond that never disappoints. Service is always quick and staff are very friendly. They have a large courtyard with lots of seating as well as tables inside. Be sure to get there early especially on weekends. Highly recommend the chilli scrambled eggs as well as the pancakes, always delicious!
I went here a week ago with my sister for brunch and I have to say, it was a beautiful experience. Really enjoyed the 15th Century Cilbir Eggs that I ordered, with extra sujuk on the side. I asked if the sujuk was halal and it was. My sister ordered the the Tiramisu Buttermilk Pancake Stack which was gorgeously presented and so fluffy. The jam in the middle was a sweet surprise. The prana chai was beautifully made and strong, just like I had requested. The iced chocolate my sister ordered was creamy, chocolatey and just perfect! I recommend this place if you’re looking to have a good brunch and catch up with friends.
Great breakfast place. If you like pancakes, this is your place. They look fantastic and are yummy. The Avocado toast is also great, but I was hoping for a bit more flavour. The staff is nice and quick and the whole location looks inviting. An overall good experience and therefore I can recommend this breakfast place.
