I regularly visit Kilgour St Grocer with friends for brunch and coffees as it's a local and consistently reliable spot for good quality meals. Nice atmosphere, trendy aesthetic and vibes in a nice location. Always handy for parking if you’re not walking there. Great coffee and yummy meals, with quite a good selection of vegan options all at affordable prices. Can be slightly slow in service if the place is busy but this would be expected. Worth a stop if you’re in the area, particularly if you’re after vego/vegan meals.

Cute little corner shop with ready-made food, hot and cold drinks. A great selection of eclectic grocery items worth checking out. Staff very friendly and willing to serve and answer questions. We bought Pepe Saya butter and lemon curd, and pancake mix … turned out well for a Sunday breakfast. Drinks were fine, but for my personal taste the chai was a bit watery. Worth the visit for the groceries.

Coffee. Muffins. Baked goods. Winning if you need a quick pick me up in the morning. Staff always bright and smiling. Can get busy. But it’s really good so just be patient. Great coffee and I am a coffee snob.

Sweet and petite little grocer with tasty sandwiches. Cool variety of snacks and ingredients to browse through while you wait. Bahn Mi and Halloumi Rolls were a perfect light brunch option.

Such a cool little place! Sandwiches were delicious, plenty of little things to pick up for the pantry and some fresh produce in the fridges as well. Will definitely be back.

Massive hipster decor but so what it's really nice. The staff here are very friendly and the food is delish. I always go for the chicken salad sarnie or tuna melt, I haven't tried any other food here so can't comment. The desserts always seem overpriced, but this place would have more hipsters in it than a turtleneck warehouse if it was in Northcote. The coffee is fine but it's the vibes that bring you back.
