Excellent on both the food and the coffee fronts. Would particularly recommend trying the turmeric latte - I haven't seen many cafes serve anything quite like it. Can get pretty crowded during lunch time so if you're coming with a group of more than 2 I'd recommend making a reservation.

Amazing brunch, food and coffee! Highly recommend the Blue swimmer crab scrambled eggs! Amazing!

Service was fast once we got a table, we had to wait for 25 mins to be seated. If you are going at midday it is real busy so be prepared to wait, but it worth the wait because the food is good and beautifully presented. Staff are friendly, the place is run very efficiently. It felt a little bit too busy inside.

The Grain Store is a slightly refined café with excellent food and reasonable coffee. Well priced to.
The single origin espresso I had was really nice with good flavours but the piccolo latte was only ok (that's more to do with the fact they use St Ali which I consider an average roaster than the barista who made it who was good).
Service was good and efficient with friendly professional staff.
I had the portobello mushroom dish (pictured) and my partner had the omelette both had nice flavours and were good sized portions.
I was recommended this place for lunch so will be back at some stage to try that.
The space is clean and minimalist with nice touches like the coat/bag hook (pictured) and a big cold drip tower on display in the middle of the room as a coffee lover that was nice to see.
Recommend this place for a more refined breakfast and lunch at a good price point. Thanks for the nice start to the day.

One of few places that are innovative in their menu! Everything that we had was amazing! We had the mixed mushrooms & poached eggs and portabello mushrooms & Gruyere hash. If you want a well balanced meal that isn't your stock standard "run of the mill food", this is the place for you! If all of this hasn't convinced you to try these guys.how about fresh baked cookies to order. You heard right, fresh baked cookies to order.

My absolute favourite for breakfast or lunch what an amazing gem that lots of professional people know about, Mel the maitre d is also the best she always remembers me when I visit, omg and the food, the chefs here really need a shout out and a clap and Pat in the back, well done with the menu that is continuously changing and hitting our tastebuds smack in the face, I would say this is the best I've been to for breakfast and lunch, they serve booze too

I tried grilled portobello with yellow sauce and spinach, was it?
It was so nice! A bit pricy but I guess this is the best brunch place for sunday near southern cross station!

Menu changes but always a good variety of food. Great coffee and juices. Good service, nice staff. Breakfast always has a line, but well worth the wait. There is also and indoor waiting area with seats, that's a plus! Good atmosphere.

Another busy Melbourne brunch spot - can wait a little depending on the time you arrive, but the food is worth it. My boyfriends favourite Melbourne breakfast spot, great food and excellent coffee.

Interesting brunch options and great coffee. Great food and service. Beware it gets busy on weekends but is thoroughly worth it.

Bit of a wait but they got through the line quickly. We got to order coffee while waiting. The bacon bagel was amazing. So was the like and coconut pancakes. Pricy but worth it

Arrived at 7: 57am and the door was open. Met by a friendly waitress who said take a seat anywhere. Then a man who I presume was the manager came to our table and told us they didn't open for another few minutes so we had to go outside and wait. Didn't hang around so can't rate the food. What a way to treat customers! Won't be going back.: (

Service was friendly but slow despite that the café was half full.
The lunch servings were big big size portions but were inadequate in flavor.
The fresh juices are very good. The coffee was ok. The baked pastries were alright.

Absolutely love this cafe. Great coffee, delicious food and friendly/ attentive staff. It gets very busy during lunch time so there might be a longer wait for a bigger group.

Busy spot for coffee and brunch. If you are looking to catch up with friends for a chat, you may want to reconsider as it gets very noisy. The service and food were good.

Despite the place being absolutely chokers we weren't made to feel like we were overstaying our welcome once we'd finished our plates. The staff were plenty friendly and attentive. Can't fault the food and I now have the distinct honor to proclaim that I've eaten at a breakfast cafe with an enforced wait list.

Coffee simply fabulous, the staff brilliant, food gorgeous, particularly the corn fritters with halloumi! Highly recommended!

Not from Melbourne so the waiting outside in the cold for 20 mins was a shock. Particularly with so many clean vacant tables inside. Ordered pancakes which are traditionally sweet. They were not sweet. Nor were the sauces. If you like hipster attempts to shake the norm you'll love it here, otherwise go elsewhere.
