The Galleon Cafe

Despite the sharehouse-meets-op-shop look of this St Kilda institution, the Galleon’s a tightly run ship. A La Marzocco coffee machine works almost as hard as the floor staff while the kitchen crew creates high-quality cafe classics. All-day breakfasts include scrambled tofu, enough porridge options to satisfy Goldilocks, or decadent truffled eggs with creamy goat’s cheese. Cure a hangover with a burger crammed full of salad, beetroot and fried egg, or start one with a bloody mary rimmed with smoky bacon salt. If the uplifting communal vibe could be bottled you’d want to drink that too. Join the queue – it’s worth the wait.
