Kate BradleyDecember 12, 2010The first time we visited the servings were generous. Second time much smaller and the price still pretty high. That was a bit disappointing. Great atmosphere and the food is delicious. $$$
Anastasia YulesMay 29, 2011Try the coffee of the day! Just now I tasted the Brazilian coffee for my caffe latte. It is just, MAGNIFICENT! Beautiful latte art too! :) <3
A strong latte will always go down a treat. Cult of Done is the blend of choice.
Hamish ScattermishJanuary 1, 2012Try the juices! The red one with some carrot in it is yuuummmm. (and I'm not a fan of carrot)
If you’re a coffee lover, can’t miss the coffee here!
FringeFoodFestivalSeptember 12, 2011Sal at St Ali was a great parter to us allowing us to run two awesome truffle dinners there with the Madame Truffles pop-up.
Black egg is amazing for anyone who likes black pudding
Nichola SpainJune 2, 2010Amazing coffee and food (even with tricky little names). Be prepared to wait for a table on the weekend. Go for a late lunch, less people :)
Alison PoyJune 15, 2012"My Mexican Cousin" is delicious!! Definitely a MUST try when your there.. :D
Sofie AngelSeptember 15, 2018Overpriced, overrated & overcrowded. It’s like a recovery party in someone’s garage. If that’s your sort of thing then you’ll like it but for me it’s taking the Melbourne hipster brunch way too far.
St Ali without a doubt has some of the best coffee in Melbourne- Hamish ScattermishJanuary 1, 2012The B1 B2 banana bread with blood plums and honey ricotta was amazing! So thick and tasty.
Get the Koo Koo Ka Choo with cured salmon on the side!
Tom O'LearyMarch 3, 2010Don't go at the normal 1-2pm lunch rush, you won't get a seat. Great coffee, awesome light meals, great for lunch. hard to find though...
Lisa WomersleyFebruary 22, 2011Amazing coffee. Delicious. Get there early on the weekend to avoid the queues for a table.
LuckyLakiFebruary 4, 2012This place is way over-hyped. Everything was good, no complaints, but there are a lot of 'good' cafes in Melbourne. Not a standout.
- When I'm in Melbourne, my second home, my second second home is St.Ali! The crew at Austereo HQ introduced me to great food this time and My Mexican Cousin is amazing!
Jessica D-KFebruary 22, 2016I've been here three times for weekday lunches and have been consistently disappointed. The service is always patchy, slow and quite often rude. The food is okay, but not worth what you pay for it.
Edwena DixonJanuary 13, 2016Don't both with the iced coffee. Served in a beer-like bottle (no ice-cream or ice included) and smaller than buying a coffee and dropped ice cubes in it! Not worth $6 #disappointing- Jun HengDecember 28, 2014The best coffee I've ever tasted. Love their self brewed coffee. The food is also very affordable and delish! The Mexican cousin and the big daddy is a must try ( in picture).
Trent RipperAugust 6, 2014Great tasting food but the servings are very small for what you pay for. Almond coffee was pretty good.
Stanislav GoryachevAugust 29, 2013The only cafe in South Melbourne I know of that serves real espresso, not overextracted rubbish like other places.
Next_StudioJanuary 21, 2011The best coffee in Melbourne? It should be! Check out the ridiculously expensive and delightfully over-engineered "Slayer" espresso machine they brew it in.
The coffee is this place is simply incredible! The best option in South Melbourne. Try the long macciato, it's perfect!
Matt BoundyAugust 22, 2011I don't buy the hype - there are places that are just as brilliant which don't get the same acknowledgement... however the Coffee & Breakfast are genuinely good.
