About Grocery Bar East Melbourne

Tucked inside East Melbourne's Tribeca complex, Grocery Bar pairs reliable espresso with hearty morning fare. The room hums with neighborhood energy—patrons lingering over flat whites across indoor tables and courtyard seating while morning runners grab warm focaccias from the cabinet. The kitchen moves fast, turning out plates of mushroom medley crowned with poached eggs, generous eggs Benedict over split English muffins, and thick avocado toast kicked with chimichurri.

  • Dine-In Kitchen Meets Cabinet Takeaway: Hot bain-marie selections, cabinet sandwiches, and takeaway pastries sit alongside a full sit-down breakfast and lunch menu.
  • Courtyard Complex Setting: Patrons gather across indoor tables and sunny courtyard seating set inside the quiet Tribeca residential complex.
  • Generous Brekky Portions: Plates come piled high, from chipolata-loaded big breakfasts to salmon-topped avo and lox.
