What can I say, the staff make this place! It's more like going round your friends house than a cafe. The whole team absolutely make it, so friendly. The food being absolutely banging is a bonus, I cannot recommend this enough. When in Melbourne, this is a must!! We will be back �

Overall the food and service was pretty good. However we had to ask for our table to get wiped from the previous customer.

It appears ownership may have changed since my last visit, but I was not disappointed. With the large opening at the front and raised seating, you have a nice indoor/outdoor vibe. The food is delicious, the big breakfast was exactly that, big! Excellent serving size!

Drugstore Espresso in South Yarra is a lovely brunch spot serving coffee with a smile and  delicious food that will get you off to a great start to the day.  Their menu offers a healthy combination of all day breakfast or lunch options and salads that change daily, including lots of fantastic gluten free options as well.  Choose from any of the Drugstore Espresso’s smooth coffee options to enjoy a full bodied coffee experience and if you’re looking to grab a coffee on the go, why not try one of their freshly made sandwiches or rolls available at the front counter.

Looks like a tiny place but they have a whole lot of seats and tables upstairs.

They have a 12.50 menu between 11am and 2pm which was an amazing deal. We got the fish and chips and the calamari and chips, both 12.50 each. We also ordered two coffees.

Coffee was delivered quick and tasted great. The food was nicely presented and tasted really good. The calamari wasnt battered but crumbed (which I prefer) and had great flavour. Fish and chips tasted great too.

Friendly service.

Will definitly be back. Saw some of the other dishes and they all looked delicious.

Hello hotcakes!! Got them for breakfast from Uber eats today and can't believe when I opened it, it looked just as good as the photo!

The ricotta hotcakes were soft and fluffy. A bit plain on its own but great with the fruits, mascarpone cheese, berries compote and lemon curd which isn't too sour.

The coffee is superb and the food is great too. My friend bought 2 kilos of coffee to take home to it's that good. The Atlantic Salmon omelette and crab n egg were really good.
The service was friendly and welcoming.

I went here as it was on the list of Melbourne's top brunch places of 2018 and being a bit behind in my brunch game, I paid it a visit. It's easy to find with ample seating inside and some seating outside. Menu is extensive and has lots of vegetarian options which was a plus as the individual I was brunching with a vegetarian. 

There's a variety of dishes ranging from bircher muesli to baked eggs, to grain bowls to scrambled eggs to fritters and to big brekkies. 

We got the mushroom hash which was a large hash brown topped with sauteed mushroom and two poached eggs. It could have done with some dressing or sauce as it was quite bland on its own but I liked the hash and the mushrooms and the crispy fried enoki. 

The zucchini and corn fritters were three large fritters with lots of kale and edamame salad, two poached eggs, and some deliciously fried haloumi. I loved the combination of haloumi with the kale salad which was refreshing. The eggs were beautifully poached and complemented the fritters. Once again, some sort of sauce would have been useful such as an aioli dip or guacamole as the meal felt very dry. 
My mocha was delicious. 
Attentive staff. 
split billing accepted. 

didn't need to queue on a 10am sunday morning.

Stopped in for a Sunday morning breakfast on a trip to the ‘big smoke’. The atmosphere was relaxed without detracting from the service. The service was friendly and professional. Coffees was excellent. The staff had no problem changing the pancakes to suit my 12yo tastes. The food was presented well and timely. Certainly somewhere to stop if you are in the area.

Always finding myself coming back here when I’m in the area. Usually dislike cabinet sandwiches and lunches because you get baited in by their appearances but drugstore espresso’s stuff are amazingggg. Mum also loves the coffee there!

Food: 4/5 I’ve gone here twice and gotten their Açai bowls which are fantastic and really fresh tasting. They also have some great coffee!

Aesthetic: 3/5 It’s a pretty simple layout but sitting outside and inside are both nice and quite comfortable.

Service: 4/5 The waitress that we had was lovely and the waiting time though a little long was not too bad.

Price: 4/5 It is reasonably priced as far as cafes around the area go.

Decent coffee, the wagyu burger was well cooked, chips were fantastic. However the hot cake was a bit dense & lacking in flavour, there are better offerings around South Yarra if you're after your hot cake fix. Staff were friendly, attentive, served with a smile.

We were invited by the team at Drugstore Espresso for a Sunday Brunch. This brunch spot is the place to be seen on a busy Sunday morning, along South Yarra's popular Toorak Road. However, the guys are very fast at seating people and turn over of tables is quick, so don't expect too much of a wait. Drugstore's house blend coffee is custom made by Rosso Roasting Co, a Melbourne based boutique roaster. Rosso Roasting hand roast using Rainforest Alliance & Fairtrade Organic coffee sourced from farming communities across South America, Central Africa & Indonesia. We tried the famed buttermilk hotcakes and the green bowl with zucchini pasta and salmon. Both were delicious and worth a try.

This place is amazing! Absolutely love the coffee, wagu beef burger (11/10) and corn and zucchini fritters with fried haloumi and Vietnamese salad. It was very busy but the service was great.

Great coffee and food in South Yarra. I enjoyed the coffee. Impressed to see long black served with palate cleanser to clear the tastebuds before the coffee.
