Galleon Cafe
Just the perfect third place. Great food, fabulous coffee and consistently lovely staff. The Gal I love you.
We got to Galleon Cafe at 8:30 on a Saturday morning, and in our short half hour there, a queue of about 20 people formed waiting to get a spot at any of the cute 60’s-era melamine tables and chairs. This seemed to be a regular occurrence, because they had butcher’s paper and a marker pen on the door to handle the list. It’s obvious that these guys are doing something right.
This was confirmed by our coffee and food. The short macchiato was very tasty, clean, slightly acidic espresso topped by a generous layer of microfoam. The breakfast menu was expansive, with many variations on eggs & toast, pancakes and vegan options. My lady’s banana and macadamia pancakes were top notch.

Great location and great coffee makes for the perfect post-ride cafe, though unfortunately my eggs were overdone. If you want to witness the Melbourne cycling crews, this is the place.

Rustic vegetarian cafe hidden in an alcove off a laneway in busy Balaclava.
They take great pride in their coffee, with a delicious blend and a selection of single origin coffees as well. And the barista has OCD, so the coffee is perfect everytime.

Baked goods were amazing, coffee is smooth but could be stronger for my taste.
