The Grey Smith - Melbourne

The Grey Smith has wonderful service, coffee and food. What more could you ask for?! Smashed Avo with two poached eggs on Boxing Day only $11. Really close to the MCG and a quick tram ride from the city. We went two mornings in a row. A great surprise!

More overpriced than the last couple of tenancies; the pulled chicken roll was $12.50, therefore $4.50 for a 330ml bottle of Coke. The Roll was alright; nothing to write home about and service was pretty average; waited around 10mins for the roll. Must have been chasing the chicken out the back.

Stayed at the Pullman for a few days, didn't want to eat there as I'm a light eater. Went for a short walk and came across the Grey Smith. So glad I did, Coffee is fantastic and breakfast was just enough. Seemed very popular with the locals and the staff were lovely.

Happened across this little gem of a place when i was out walking in a break from a 2 day conference at the Pullman. I was looking for a breakfast destination and wasn't disappointed the coffee was fantastic and the menu sufficient for a light breakfast. The staff are super friendly and the constant stream of regulars through the door showed I wasn't alone in my approval of their barista skills.

Staying at a hotel nearby and popped out for breakfast with good coffee... this place has an appealing street view so I decided to try it out. The coffee was everything that I expect of Melbourne coffee. A delicious brioche with egg and bacon left just enough room for a second coffee and some caramel slice. Because breakfast is alwsys better with dessert. I think Ive found a new favourite coffee shop in Melbourne!
