I have been to leroys a few times now. And the service is outstanding, as well as the staff and their food and cafe. I decided to celebrate my birthday here and people loved the venue, and commented on the food.
Highly recommend this place for lunch, dinner or functions. I am a harsh critique when it comes to this being in the music industry, and working 8 years off lygon street I know what's expected for good food and cafe.
If you gathered up all your childhood memories of tasting your favourite dish for the first time and then toasted them in delight and sprinkled them with complete satisfaction then it would taste somewhat like the meals at Leroys. We travel to StKilda every year from Wangaratta and have breakfast here. We love the menu and the staff are always awesome.
The food and coffee at Leroy’s is great and offers options to cater to any dietary requirements. Not only is the food always good, but the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming whenever I have gone in. Hidden gem at the end of Ackland!
Amaizing place to eat,
Great coffee and the staff are the best host ever. Last night we celebrated my
Brothers birthday and with great space to dance and celebrate the night away!! This is 10/10 place to hide, eat and drink.
Super friendly staff, good coffee and the best gluten free chocolate brownie! (Asked for it warmed up - you won't regret it)!
Love this place. It caters for vegans, vegetarians, coeliacs and omnivores so is excellent for my family. I can't go past their Key Lime Pie in a Cup! Excellent coffee too. Yesterday i had the Veggie Scramble with Hash Brown and a glass.of Tempranillo. All outstanding. As is the service. Our waiter was wonderful. Good value too. Mad if you don't go!
Super friendly staff, amazing food and really cute cafe! Definitely recommend to everyone! You won't regret it :)
The coffee at Leroy Espresso Bar is certainly the best that I have had in St Kilda. The cafe has a great atmosphere and the food is delicious.
At times service has been slow especially to the outside seating area. Despite this I will continue to return.
I feel that this is a cafe built for people who love coffee and food. It is a great place to come if you are a local and I don't feel like this is a place designed to serve only the tourists.
Always great specials, great value and my favourite breakfast that I've found in Australia! Topped off by the most wonderful staff who I'm sure will be seeing me many many more times!
We had breakfast at Leroys expresso and we were very impressed with your menu and service . Not what we thought it would be - very friendly staff and upbeat atmosphere .
Next time we are in Melbourne we'll be dropping by ...
Staff are extremely friendly and lovely, We told the girl serving us what we felt like, and when our breakfast came out that she picked was definitely what we were both after, which also kept us full literally all day and night👌🏻. The music was funky and definitely what you want to hear on a Saturday morning for breakfast. Seems like a happy work place. We will definitely be back and might make it a regular thing.
Friendly staff, amazing vegan cakes and multiple food options that suits all tastes and special diets �.
Located on the corner of Acland st and Barkly st in St Kilda, Leroy espresso is trendy modern cafe with high quality food. I turned up early to brunch with a couple of friends on a cold Saturday morning and unfortunately couldn’t get a table inside. I offered to wait as my friends hadn’t arrived anyway and the waitress said she had to go and check. Not sure what she was checking but she never came back as I waited outside in the cold (the outdoor heaters were unfortunately not on). One of my friends soon arrived and we asked another waitress for a table who seated us a two seater inside while we waited for a 3 seater to become available (only another 2 minutes). Much happier with this waitress who served us attentively for the rest of the time. This could have been 5 stars if not for the lack of communication at my arrival. Food was spot on and well presented. Coffee was smooth. Cute flowers on the tables.
Great tap water. Really refreshing. Hydrating. Effervescent. It cleared my eczema. Alleviated my depression. Mended my relationship with my father.
Quality! It Shouldnt Be That Hard! Love A Wonderful Mouth Full Of Wholesome FOOD!

It was a Sunday afternoon. In the heart of amazing st kilda. Is this nice busy cafe.
We walked in they asked if we needed menus. I said no we are only having coffee. We had mocha. It was amazing.
Can’t wait to come try there food :-)
Staff are on the ball and very polite and attentive! Can’t wait to go back

This place has been going a while now and is consistently good in the ever trendy Acland Street. Good food choices here and the coffee was excellent. Somewhat of a funky place to come and watch the comings and goings of St Kilda.
Do try something on the breakfast menu.
Dietaries catered for, just let staff know. Takeaway available. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Pram and stroller accessible. Parking is okay.
Service was good and staff were friendly. Location is convenient as public transport is near and in a popular area. Ice coffee was good but the waffle was average as it was amazing but it was disappointing.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Not too shabby!
This place was almost at the other end of St. Kilda beach so it was a nice walk!
I went in hopes that I could get a smoothie bowl... but apparently they ran out and my second option was to get the baked eggs buuut they ran out of that too ._. Also, at first when I walked in there was a sign that said they weren’t serving coffee but luckily I came in time for the machine to be back up and running!
I ordered the ‘Waffle We Do Now’ and my friend ordered the ‘Bagel Delight’. She had tea and I had an Iced Skinny Latte. For a guilt free waffle, I have to admit that it’s pretty damn good! The ice cream was amazing as well! And the berry compote was made from stevia!! So it’s super guilt free for us (trying to) dieters! The Bagel Delight was great too and it was so good I ended up switching my dish! Didn’t realise I was in such a savoury mood 🙊
The coffee and tea was so-so. Nothing really to shout about.
The service was adequate too but the hygiene of the cups for the water was kinda gross bc we saw lipstick stains on it. Uhhh...
The food was good! The only down side was just the lack of a few dishes and them still putting it on the menu :/
I've been to Leroy Espresso a couple of times now. I first went with a Groupon but returned and paid full price because the food was delicious. Both times I had the fritters.
Their chai lattes and coffees are delicious and I love the fact that they are sweetened naturally.
Leroy Esprosso is fantastic at catering for food intolerances. Their menu sets out which foods contain gluten, dairy, are paleo etc. Awesome!
The staff are very friendly but my only complaint is that they are quite slow. Both times I got fed up with waiting and walked to the counter to order. Both of my visits were mid-week and the cafe was not very busy.
I had an iced long black and it was the one of best I tried in st kilda area :) nice vibe, awesome staff, and good location. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is I just waited for like 20 mins 😅😂
New favourite vegan brunch destination 💕 The gluten-free, animal product-free waffles are bomb. They're nice and soft and not gummy like lots of other vegan waffles tend to be. But even better is that they're fruit compote topping is sweetened with Stevia! Never have I seen Stevia mentioned on a restaurant menu until Leroy. So impressed by this. Their vegan ice cream is free of added sugars as well, and sweetened with dates, but you'd never know it. Also tried the corn fritters, which feature a delicious Stevia-sweetened tomato relish. Coffee is really nice, although it took a long time to come out (arrived after food did although they were ordered together). Despite service being a bit slow, staff were really nice, retro vibe is super charming and menu is a huge pull. Already planning my next trip to SK to visit again.
I’ve not been here for ages but its as good as I remember. Friendly staff, colourful fit out and good honest food. Plenty of vegetarian options. Banana and coconut flour waffle with ice cream was delicious but I could have done with another waffle - one left me wanting more and hungry after only an hour. Companion had the omelette and was very satisfied.
We chose to eat here purely based on the amount of sunshine we could get on a Melbourne cold morning. I love a good amount of chilli on my smashed avo. The eggs were cooked well. The staff were personable. I like it. The chai was a special blend, very aromatic.
A friend and I stumbled across this place for lunch today and it was yum! Didn’t have to wait to long for food which is very good and service was very friendly!
This place is so great! I walked in with a friend and were given menus straight away and shown to a table and given water! The menu was large and had heaps and heaps of different options. I chose the harissa spiced chicken wrap and it was so yummy for such a simple dish and it wasn’t to big or small! the food came out very fast and the staff were so friendly! I would 100% recommend!
Came to Leroy Espresso with my partner for Brunch yesterday. We sat inside after being told to take any table we wanted. We were ignored for quite a while by the staff though, and even people who sat down after us were served before us. We ordered our coffee and food all at once, when we were finally served, but no one came to bring us any water and we had to ask.
The coffee was decent and he food was good, though. Josh had the corn fritters and I had the BELTAA, although I swapped the Turkish bread for multigrain.
Customer service was fantastic! Coffee is consistently perfect at Leroy Espresso, luckily I work next door so I can come grab a few a day. Parma is incredible and a great portion size!
Quality cafe that uses Sensory Lab beans. Barista knew what he was doing although the milk was a little cool. Had the key lime pie with my coffee which was great! Not too heavy, and lots of good nuts and fiber 😊👌🏼
Service was slow, we didn't get menus (we shared a single one between 3 people that we found ourselves). Our coffees didn't come until we almost finished our food. We saw someone leave because they were waiting so long to be served. But the smashed avo was one of the best we've had and the coffee was good - put the hot sauce on the smashed avo! Yum! Friend also said the waffles were really good
Sundays are never the same without Leroy breakfast 😍😍😍 love everything in the menu except for the paleo waffle i tried one time. Will still continue to go weekly for my berry pancake / eggs benny fix 😍😍😍😃😃😃
Jam 4 sore ane laper dan ngantuk padahal lagi nyetir ondewei ke pulau pinguin. Nahhh ini tempat ngupi2 lucu, walaupun lebih mahal dari warung kupi pinggir jalan. Kopinya juga beda namanya kapucino, bukan kopi tubruk. Enak sih. Ane juga makan soba dan pasta lainnya disini,, lumayan juga buat warung kopi. Serpisnya bagus banget, anak ane lari2 kayak rumah sendiri. Manteb dahhhh
A quaint little coffee place tucked away at the end of Acland street near St.Kilda beach is the perfect stop for an early morning coffee. The interiors are very cute and what grabs your attention is a bright yellow La Marzocco coffee machine. A few tables outside under the parasol make it a perfect setting as you sip on some really lovely cappuccinos and lattes. They have variants made with soy and almond milk which are equally interesting however people flock this place to have their long black full of flavour and cappuccinos.
I chose to have a medium sized cappuccino( also available in little and large sizes!). The flavour, aroma and intensity was spot on however since I wanted it to be extra hot, the barista was kind enough to make me a new one since steaming it would spoil the taste.
The interiors are rustic and the inside seating area is warm and cozy.. just another excuse to sip more
coffee.
A must visit place for caffeine lovers and early starters!!
The location of this cafe is perfect. Acland street St Kilda. You can get a seat right by the street so that its open. You get the sun and fresh breeze. Its a rustic style cafe and was right at home. The coffee was amazing. Perfectly made and tasted great. Ordered an acai bowl I was a little disappointed was it was running. Presentation was good could have been better. Was'nt the best Acai bowl I had. Still loved the vibe and customer service.
Fresh juices and coffee are some of the best in St Kilda 👍🏻 outside seating with shelter also a plus. Lovely staff always service with a smile.
Love trumps hate for this
Transpacific partnership
Bagel with avo
[Is it a bagel? Is it a bene? Who knows? And more importantly... Does anyone really care?]
This is a great cafe with amazing staff. All are so friendly and helpful. Love coming here.
I had the corn and zucchini fritters which were flavourful and filling. My almond latte was yum too.
Love love loveeeeee the huge variety this place has to offer!!! Vegan, vegetarian & meat/seafood dishes makes it a place where everyone can enjoy a feed. Perfect location for post or pre beach sesh 👌🏽👌🏽
I don't normally venture south to St Kilda but when I do, I always make sure to visit Leroy. Top notch service, awesome coffee and delicious food (that corn bread, OMG!). Keep it up, Leroy! I will see you again soon ;)
Great coffee and food. Very friendly staff.. The best cafe on Acland street hands down. Fresh juices and smoothies are amazing. Would highly recommend!!
Great little corner cafe. Service is prompt and friendly. Coffee beans by Steadfast is executed well. The wrap I had was good, with flavourful chicken and crunchy roti. The myriad of juices were also agreeable, with the green goblin quite refreshing.
Went there for lunch on Sunday afternoon. Service was amazing and quick even though it was busy at restaurant ! I had veggie scramble which was fantastic !!!! Definitely a good choice in St Kilda
This is my favourite lunch venue on Acland Street! The new renovations look fantastic and I absolutely love the paleo options on the menu. Today I had the super green paleo salad with spiced harissa chicken. Also a massive fan of the crispy wild salmon salad served with rocket, red onion, tomato, cucumber, pomegranate, melon and sesame dressing. The staff are always helpful and friendly. One very happy customer!!!
Stkilda institution been here forever
Was just after a. Quick lunch
Had a coffee aswell coffee was very nice indeed
The girls working there are really friendly and give good service.
Had the Blt burger it was good pretty tasty but maybe needed more relish !
The menu is basically full of crowd pleasers
So can't go wrong.
Not to many healthy options tho so that area can be improved.
Prices a little high aswell
But not a bad joint !!
Great coffee and brunch. Very friendly staff who are keen to assist you with any request. I had their Bloody Mary and their sandwich, very generous portions too.
Great coffee and lovely , friendly atmosphere. They have a great selection including veggie and gf options. They also have an all day breakfast menu and fresh juices which I think is a nice touch.
This was my first time and definitely will be a regular. Great coffee. The ambiance was cosy & inviting. The waitstaff were very friendly. Highly recommended.
Breakfast burrito was amazing! Also the staff were so friendly and helpful with my major life crisis of pancakes or burrito. Thank god for LeeRoy Espresso staff!
Had breakfast here last Saturday, of course, Acland street/ St Kilda was already "buzzing". Leroys had the same vibe! Had a great rustic feel about the place & the staff were super friendly & attentive!!. Everything about the place was great, from it's decore, alfresco dining & eclectic/ rustic menu. The COFFEE was GREAT & so was the Café Latte (probably the best I have ever had). Food portions were so generous (I actually couldn't finish all of my meal) & the prices are VERY reasonable. I also went to Leroy's for the Friday FUNK night. The place was packed, the band was tight & the place was buzzing! In my opinion, the best café on Ackland street & the best location for alfresco dining & people watching !
Been going here since 2009, very popular cyclist stop, outdoor relaxed area easy coffee window to street and clearly
Staff love their job! Total acland institution great day cafe
Well done
We can not thank the owners & staff at Leroy enough for the fantastic service, food and hospitality shown to us for our sons 1st birthday brunch held last weekend. Beautiful cafe, we had around 30 ppl attend, food was delish, prompt, well priced and a good size serving! Our little boy even received a present from the owners as is customary in there family! These days things like this are unheard of. Thank you Leroy
One of the better cafes on Acland street. Great spot to sit outside and as you probably know Acland street is usually has a few characters!
Friendly and enthusiastic staff who were very attentive. It is a wonderful little cafe with a great atmosphere. Food was excellent and came quickly. Overall very happy and will be returning!
Nice coffee and lovely strawberry coconut smoothie. Good, friendly and quick service. Saw a waiter move tables together for a group of people without them asking which was nice. Guys that serve me are always so nice and friendly. Gluten free muffins are delicious. Cool place.
I love sitting outside Leroys with a coffee and watching the world whizz by on Acland St. The coffee is always excellent. I like mine with the activated almond milk - devine! There are plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options here :)
Eclectic interior design belies some really nice authentic cafe grub. I had Leroy's cornbread brekkie, best cornbread ever! My wife's corn fritters were excellent but should try sauce on the side, they're good by themselves. Minor gripe, we had both meals minus bacon but still charged at list price, how does that work? Coffee was excellent, with atomic crema!
lovely place at the corner of Barkly and Acland Streets ... service was efficient and friendly ... they were willing to swap eggs with mushrooms which is a great help as I generally don't like eggs for breakfast ... coffee was awesome and Bagel Delight was good
Went out for brecky with a few friends. The whole menu sounded appealing but i thought i would try something a bit different from the typical egg or porridge selections. I ordered the vegan starter brecky and all i can say is it was incredible! It came with a delicious chickpea patty, smashed avo, homemade baked beans and grilled mushrooms. The flavours came together so nicely! My friends were really happy also. definitely will be back! :)
Coffee very good. Always good. They know there coffee here 😊
Probably best coffee in area
Different beans available......
Have not tried food yet but menu looks intresting
Great coffee. Happy, smiling staff. Will be back to try breakfast very soon.
Only downside was the (I assume) owner outside whinging about the rent. Customers don't care and customers don't want to hear it.
Early arrival to St Kilda and we were starving!
Stumbled Upon Leroy and decided we'd try it as it had plenty of Gluten Free options.
Corn Bread dish was delicious, eggs were perfect, coffee was good! Perfect when you're famished and need a big yummy breaky.

Leroy Espresso had been recommended to us by a few friends and didn't disappoint. Loved the interior especially the exposed brick wall.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
What we ordered: Eggs Benedict & Full Breakfast - only thing left on our plate was some spinach but we claim we got too much.
Delicious breakfast and healthy smoothies. Great atmosphere. Staff very attentive and friendly. My partner places the egg Benedict as one of the best she's had.
Great Polenta Chips. I have been to Leroy's every time I have been to Melbourne. We stay in Elwood, so it is very convenient. 1st time I went there saw Polenta chips on menu which I love & not many places do them, they were very good. Staff are friendly, prices are reasonable (we are from Perth so not familiar with a lot of places). Only complaint is cutlery not laid out properly but that is just me being old school. Great job, keep it up & look forward to coming back.
Best Coffee in St Kilda!!!. Come here religiously every morning to get amazing coffee - wouldn't start my day any other way! Staff are super friendly and always service with a smile. Great place to enjoy a lazy weekend brunch - delicious, fresh food and a chilled out atmosphere.
The staff are as hot as the coffee. Best coffee on Acland St!
Fantastic customer service and a great little brunch spot.
Corn Fritters, best thing I've ever tasted...and that's 100% true. You can tell its house made. Not sure about the previous review because I'm at Leroy once a week. Always spot on. It's easy to just whinge and criticise but I'll tell you they rarely get anything wrong.
Great servicd and brekky. Had lunch here today and it was just amazing.. the staff is really friendly really looked after us. Best coffee ever and the food we ordered was delicious and came to ouour table really fast.. we made it just in time for the happy hour as well, on quality beers and cider.. I promised our waitress we'll be back tomorrow for more!
Fantastic coffee, beautiful breakfast and wonderful service. Came with family. Very laid back atmosphere but surprisingly fast service. Coffee was beautiful and all the breakfasts we got were wonderful. Pretty good value for money also. Very very pleased and highly recommend it :)
Leroy is back. About time Leroy!!! Service has picked up. Food is amazing. Menu is interesting and well thought. You finally have vegan options and the paleo salad was fricken awesome. Please keep it up, I want to keep coming back. It was good to see you guys busy and pumping again.
Breakfast with Leroy. Maybe it was the great company, but I thoroughly enjoyed my Saturday morning spent at Leroy's (enough to write a review nearly a week later!).
Although I waited a little too long for a skinny capp, Leroy's redeemed itself by serving a fabulous rendition of smashed avo; my poached eggs ran perfectly and the serving size was generous.
I was surrounded by a very relaxed vibe, ideal for a non-morning person, as well as comforting staff from vast ends of the globe.
Quite evidently a much-loved local hangout, and for very good reason.
Thanks Leroy's, I'll be back!
It's been along time coming and a lot of disappointing breakfasts and then there was Leroy's! The coffees Devine and the food is hearty! In this case appearances are deceiving. Worth more than one visit.
Good coffee, good food and service with a smile. Would come back again.
Had lunch here... There were heaps of food options catering for all sorts of dietary requirements. Food was well presented and tasty. They had all day breakfast as well as the lunch menu. We didn't have to wait long to be served or get our food. Had a coffee as well, was good but not great. Worth checking out... I come here again...
Very nice coffee and a menu with a lot of variety. Busy because the centric location. Amazing smoothies and Fresh Juices. Im in love with the chicken and avo sandwich, generous meal.
This place has been going a while now and is consistently good in the ever trendy Acland Street. Good food choices here and the coffee was excellent. Somewhat of a funky place to come and watch the comings and goings of St Kilda.
Do try something on the breakfast menu.
Dietaries catered for, just let staff know. Takeaway available. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Pram and stroller accessible. Parking is okay.
Ordered the banana waffles with berry compote and vegan vanilla bean ice cream. Delicious and filling! Great variety of meals on the menu.
Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Quick service too. However the vibe of the cafe is more suitable for families and kids. If you’re after a more peaceful brunch, try elsewhere.
I recommend this cafe for vegans and vegetarians or families with young children. High chairs are available.
A very pleasant surprise. We were not expecting much and was just after a coffee and somewhere to hide from the sun. The coffee was magnificent and the food was perfect. A wonderful combination of eggs, bacon, avocado and cheese. A perfect start to the day.
Lovely cafe in St Kilda. Great brunch food, coffee, and nice servers. Nice outdoor seating for enjoying the sun and people watching. I highly recommend!
