We had a lovely lunch at this venue today. The wrap was beautifully toasted, small fries is quite big and coffee was excellent. It’s very spacious and loved the service.

I strongly recommend everyone to dine there, because they have yummy food, comfy dining environment and super customer service! The girl at the counter was super on board since the second I asked for GF options. She explained that they have GF bread, so any sandwich can be made GF. When I ordered Caesar salad, she took out all the croutons for me and when she served the food to me, she reminded me that I could do takeaway for unfinished food. It was like everything she said was music to my ears! Both salads were very tasty and the ruben was just right

Love this place! Only problem was it was closed on the weekend! My partner and I had breakfast and coffee here during our recent visit to Melbourne, and we loved that they only seemed to play The Smiths (one of our shared favourite bands). Also loved the Springsteen and Gas Light Anthem posters on the wall. Wonderful food and atmosphere, we'll definitely be back on our next trip to Melbourne.

Wonderful coffee at a reasonable price…..wait, no, at a cheap price! made by Dave (the one with great hair). You’ll find him in his flow making coffee. The meals are also lovely with great variety. Beautiful cafe….brings back childhood memories with the memorabilia.

Been living in the area for about 3yrs and I am ashamed to say it took us this long to get to Jimmy The Saint. First visit today with my wife and it was outstanding. We had a full lunch, drinks and finished with a coffee. It was excellent. Worth calling in.....

I wish I lived in the area so this could become my daily local! Perfect long black coffee ($4.30!!), vibey music, but most importantly, a genuinely kind and friendly owner clearly passionate about his business and the people who supports it. Thank you!
