Overview

So, let me tell you about this spot I stumbled upon recently in Melbourne - it’s called EARL Canteen - Emporium. Tucked away at 287 Lonsdale St, it’s nestling right in the hustle of the shopping center. A perfect find when you need a break from retail therapy, right?

Walking in, there’s this chill, casual vibe. I could picture myself grabbing a coffee, sinking into one of those comfy seats. And boy, the coffee is pretty decent! Many folks rave about it, saying it rivals some big-name brands. The aroma? Oh, it could whisk you away like the scent of fresh croissants on a Sunday morning.

Now, if you’re in the mood for breakfast, this joint has got some solid choices. Egg and bacon rolls on Turkish bread seem to be a crowd favorite - like, what could be better? It’s the kind of meal that gives you a cozy feeling, as if you’re at a friend’s brunch instead of a bustling café.

But here’s the kicker: The prices can be a smidge high for the size of the portions. Sure, the quality is there — and you can taste that freshness in their salads and sandwiches — but do you ever feel like you’re paying a little extra for the “gelato machine” effect? Quality over quantity, perhaps?

Speaking of the menu, they offer vegan and vegetarian options along with some healthier dishes. Think of salads that actually taste good — not the boring rabbit food kind! And it’s all made from locally sourced produce.

Oh, and did I mention the staff? People have shared how friendly they are. Diana and Krishna, in particular, have received heaps of kudos for their warmth. It really adds a personal touch to the experience, right?

On top of all that, it’s got takeaway, dine-in, and even catering services. Perfect for when you’ve got a crew to feed or just want to grab a bite on the go.

EARL is open from early morning until late evening, so whether you’re an early bird or more of a night owl, you can swing by. Just a heads-up, though, if you’re looking to hang out for dinner, it’s more of a lunch and breakfast place.

All in all, if you’re in town and need a caffeine fix or a healthy bite, I’d say swing by EARL Canteen. Give it a whirl; it might just become your go-to spot, too!
