Ah, i miss my st Kilda so much. Living in Prahran for five years I struggle from new pretentious over priced cafe to another. I recently had a stone cold benedict on impenetrable uncooked sourdough, with slimy pork belly at Middletown, and a similar but worse experience using cold pulled pork, freezing toast, over cooked eggs at Tall Timber. (Both for around $24 with pot of tea). Also at the former the manager actually greeted with that long disappeared clanger "how are we today?". I resisted saying "I don't know, how are you your majesty?". A simple bacon benedict at Galleon: hot, fresh, crisp bagel, hot crispy bacon bacon, eggs poached to perfection, hollandaise perfect. And the tea? Strong, hot, and 3 cups in the pot. And the price?? $17.80. Plus great friendly service, and alll this after 3pm on a Saturday. What's not to love?
We've always loved the food and vibe at Galleon. We moved to Canada for two years and the first breakfast we absolutely had to have as soon as we got back to Melbourne was right here! The food was spectacular, the coffee amazing, and the staff as friendly as ever. Loved that they haven't messed with their menu either. You have to try them. And if you need to wait for a table on the weekends - do it cos it is so worth it �
Galleon has a really unique Melbourne feel to it. It's retro and has an awesome vibe without being hipster or try-hard. The staff are genuine and friendly, the food is brilliant quality at a great price with unique flavors. The coffee is great and well made and my friend enjoys their 'proper' chai latte.
It's the only cafe where I'll wait for a table, because it's worth it.
