ST. ALi South Melbourne

ST. ALi’s South Melbourne warehouse gives you a choice between a quick coffee and a proper breakfast. Large tables, industrial windows and a busy coffee service make it a place to linger when the day allows. The Yarra Place address is the original South Melbourne venue, so use it rather than assuming another branch offers the same room or menu.

For a cooked meal, the July 2026 food menu lists avocado on crumpet at A$27 and chilli eggs at A$26. Treat those as dated menu examples when setting your budget for a later trip. Coffee and additions are extra, and the published weekend and public-holiday surcharges raise the final bill. Groups should also plan to settle together because the menu does not allow split bills.

The distinction between café and kitchen hours makes this useful itinerary data. Coffee service normally runs from 07:00 to 17:00 daily, while the kitchen closes at 15:00 on weekdays and 16:00 at weekends. A late coffee is a different visit from a late brunch. On an early race morning, keep the order short and leave time for the onward journey; choose a non-race day if you want to settle in.
