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 �
Top 5 breakfast places in Melbourne. Enough said.
The BEST breakfast in Melbourne in my opinion. Nice staff, no wank, just home style delicious food. Everything I’ve had off the menu so far has been 10/10. DO NOT miss the sweet potato hash brown thing. If you want to insty your food don’t come here.
This was recommended to us by a friend as it is apparently a St Kilda institution. It has a great vibe and I love the retro mismatched furniture. It was really busy on a Thursday lunch but the staff were smiling. Good coffee and food options.
Came here for brunch . The coffee was great but too much spread of chocolate on top. Work on your presentation:). I ordered eggs Florentine with spinach and cheese and bacon . It was lovely and I recommend it. Expect to spend 15-20 bucks a head for brunch . Not cheap but pretty good:).
Went to St Kilda to catch up with a friend, he introduced me to this place. I wasn’t hungry at that time but couldn’t resist to order something to eat beside a coffee. He recommended me to try the meatballs. I must say, it was one of the best meatballs I’ve ever tasted in Melbourne. Great coffee too. The place was pumping. Didn’t take too long to get a table for us. Good value .. Highly recommended!
Went there for breakfast with our pup. Around 4 tables for 2 that were outdoor. Great coffee, hot chockee and food! Great service too. Only thing to note, smoked salmon was a little too salty. Will definitely be back again to try the other dishes!

This place is an institution and well known in St Kilda. Classically decorated with. A 1950’s style with booths and tables it’s a nice place to come for an meal.
Went here with a vegan and vegetarian and they couldn’t stop raving about the place. Prices are good too. Very affordable. Big shout out to staff who were fabulous. Gets busy so you may have to wait.
Dietaries catered for, just let staff know. Takeaway available. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Pram and stroller accessible. Parking is okay.
Nice food and drink for a reasonable price. The interior was really good too. Hand smoked salmon egg benny and espresso milkshake. The bagel was a little bit to tough to cut but the food was really nice.
Closer to a 4.5. This place was pumping on a Sunday morning but only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table for two. We had the truffled eggs - delicious and generously portioned as well as the meatballs on toasted pide. Both were excellent.
The Galleon has the best coffee in Melbourne! My local go to 😁
The food is great and much cheaper than most melbourne cafes so definitely worth going to
Breakfast at Galleon was incredible! Warm, quick service and really nice vibe. We ordered the banana praline pancakes, smoked salmon bagel and big breakfast. The bagel is good, but the big breakfast and pancakes were outstanding — better than anything we tried in Melbourne CBD. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!
Breakfast was busy (as probably are other times as well).
Classical St Kilda.
Good food at good prices.
Coffee was excellent.
Seating inside or out.
Pet friendly.
Popular breakfast place specially during weekends. Buzzing with chatter in live makes this cafe full of character. Indoor and outdoor available.
A great place for breakfast. We were staying locally, in an AirBNB and called in here. Very good eggs benedict and a good porridge.
Fast service. Good coffee. What more could you ask for?
Highly recommended.
Down to earth cafe serving home style food. I like this place because it’s not too trendy not too pretentious - it feels very comfortable yet is still quality. My favourite dish is the sweet potato and feta fritter, which comes with a tall pile of spinach and a poached egg.
Lovely spot for breakfast. The food was delicious, plenty of options to personalise your dish. Eggs Benny had perfectly poached eggs and crispy bacon. The French toast had some innovative flavours including ricotta, lemon cream and pistachio praline. Staff are okay but you can tell they are under the pump- no time for pleasantries or to stop and answer a quick question (like where to queue for a table!). Little ordering mistakes like coffee came out quickly but they forgot my tea - had to ask for it again twice. Overall though a pleasant experience and great food.

The Cafe was really busy when we visited for breakfast with only one spare table. Despite this, the food was excellent, very little wait and service was fast and great. Coffee was great and juice very fresh. Highly recommend.
Tried this place because it was around the corner from my hostel, and I ended up going every day I was in town! Great coffee and delicious food- I tried the savory scone, the apple muffin, and a special porridge, and all were amazing! Staff were all extremely friendly as well, and they did great managing busy mornings.
