Saint James Cafe

Best Known For

Saint Benedict: Berkshire pork shoulder, fresh apple, poached eggs and beurrre noisette hollandaise on toasted sourdough.

Spinning a British take on the Melbourne coffee scene, Saint James Café on Malvern Road is a linger-worthy local hangout. On the sunny side of the street in Malvern Village, Saint James entices guests with a sleek, subway tiled frontage where alfresco tables await those who want to watch the world go by; or head out back to a courtyard with flowering plants, wooden features and geometric patterned tables to sip a latte and ponder an English-inspired menu. Early risers may be tempted by Port glazed wild mushrooms, poached egg, housemade ricotta, tarragon and sourdough; while those stopping by later may opt for a fish finger butty, with crushed pea aioli, dill and cabbage salad on fresh white bread, or smoke trout salad, asparagus, beetroot carpaccio, pickled radish and whipped goats cheese.
