Came here during the Melbourne GP weekend after getting multiple recommendations from locals. The coffee is unbelievably good, we went with a group of 4 and by the end of our meal everyone had ordered a second round of coffee and was tempted to get a third.
Food wise the menu is huge, lots of variety, generous portions and most importantly
absolute delicious. The staff were super friendly and helpful despite them being insanely busy and the decor and ambience of the whole place really quirky but cool.
Defiantly a go to for sure! Especially if your a coffee lover. They have a little shop next to the cafe as well where you can pick up some coffee beans to take home with you. Make sure you get the bigger bag cause I promise you you’ll finish the bag before you know it.
Delicious food, great coffee, comfy place.
Awesome place to go alone or with friends! They also have a small merchandise shop where you can buy their coffee, machine, and liquors. They also sell some shirts, hot sauces, and many more.
The place itself is a little cramped but comfy, so no worries!
Great coffee, and a very satisfying breakfast experience! Portions were extremely generous and more importantly, yum. The coffee was unsurprising good and staff attentive. Great vibe and surroundings. Highly recommended.
Ended up coming twice on our holiday, both times served with great hospitality, great coffee and great food!
After visiting have even subscribed to their coffee subscription due to the coffee being seriously good!
Would recommend to anyone visiting Melbourne as a must try brekkie spot, easy access from the CBD via tram!
Great food, great coffee, great crew; what more could you want? They're attentive without being overbearing and love dogs as well. The Royale burger was simple and exactly what you want from a well executed cheeseburger and my partner loved her mushrooms (Koo Koo Kachoo).
Will be back for sure!
Well worth the price and wait(if you haven't booked a table). Gourmet presented meals, consistent, tasty. Awesome environment both inside and out, funky uniforms!
First, these photos aren't from the cafe - their coffee looks WAY better. :)
Anyway, dropped by to restock on Wide Awake and had a great chat with Alex. I had recently ordered coffee from somewhere else but nothing I did could produce a decent coffee with it. This is in stark contrast to St Ali Wide Awake, from which I can produce a decent coffee pretty much every time (despite the ugly pics).
Alex was friendly, helpful, understanding and gave me some good suggestions as to why the other coffee didn't work for me. Helpfulness aside, I've gone back to St Ali Wide Awake anyway, since it is my favourite and just works, every time. Thanks Alex!
