East Melbourne General Store

What an awesome little place with a lovely feel and lots of great supplies, including coffee and a bottlo!

A very quaint local spot for groceries or a quick cuppa, made special by the owner who seems to take a real interest in her patrons. I was having a cup of coffee and someone likely drug affected walked in; rather than asking them to leave / calling for help she invited him to have a snooze on her front couch with some water and a blanket. All this at 11am on grand final day!

Just dropped in between appointments. Nice basic food and friendly service. All that one needs.

The place to come for that little bit of everything. On a different route to work I found this glorious little place and if I’d had more time I would’ve stopped for a cuppa. Nestled in leafy East Melbourne, this is an old time store that stocks just about everything you do need and might need. Wine seems to be popular here but also Turkish delight, croissants, frozen food, vegemite, dry cleaning, teabags, next to, fresh bread, feather dusters and pretty much most things. The lovely Carly chatted to me about the place that has been here for nearly 30 years and has a regular, local following. Two large couches out the front surrounded by books and toys invite you onto the covered area, with succulents and plants giving it a homely feel - as though you’re sitting with a neighbour on their front porch. It is a place that you can only appreciate if you visit so hop along and check it out. Will take many of you back down memory lane.

Best customer service and the best iced coffee ever. Thank you for hospitality today ladies you saved my day.

Lovely local store with well-discounted older breads that I was glad to get. Service was always friendly and with a smile

5 stars for service. So refreshing to come in and feel truly welcomed in an atmosphere where nothing is too much trouble. Just the basics in terms of coffee and food but done in a good old fashioned way that is rare now.

A great little local shop with good produce, unique gifts and goods, and you can sit out on the verandah with a coffee and fresh pastry. Lovely find.

This little store is one of my favourite things about living in this neighbourhood. Everyone from the owner to her staff are friendly & helpful and they have pretty much anything you might need.

Brilliant Grocery Store in Melbourne thunderstorm!

We arrived at the store in baking heat as the first drops of a thunder storm started to fall. The delightful & very helpful owner set us with drinks and settled us on the couch as the storm set in. The store is really well set up for drinks & snacks, books to read, toys for the kids, free water and a great atmosphere. Wish we had a store like this near where I live!

A gem. Just the place for brunch in the sun, or emergencies like dinner gifts. Engaging manager/owner.

Exceptional service and have the country feel to it. Exceptional Portuguese custard tarts, even better than the ones I have tried in Portugal or anywhere else for that matter! One of the best coffees in the area too. Very touched and glad to have them so close.

What a beautiful cleaverly stocked general store. From fresh products to organics and great wine and bubbles! Loved this place!
