Kilgour St Grocer

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.

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.

We popped into Kilgore St Grocer on our travels through Geelong. Wanted to visit this cafe last year but couldn’t get a spot inside so fave up and went elsewhere. Busy for a Monday lunchtime they offered coffees and drinks and cabinet food which they were able to heat. I had a crumbed chicken with cheese and garlic aioli in a bun toasted while KD enjoyed her halumi version of the same with a nice beetroot, onion chutney. Ice coffees were authentic and my larger one had a double shot which gave it nice strength without the sweetness.

It’s alright. Maybe good for Geelong but not so good overall. The coffee was okay, I have had better there before. We are there. The food on the other hand, was interesting. I had the waffles, or should I say waffle. The waffle came out on what appeared to be a tin camping plate with disposable, recyclable, cutlery and containers for the cream and syrup. It was quite small for the price, and I usually get full pretty quickly. My friend had a chicken sandwich which she seem to like.
