About Uncles Panini & Coffee

Steps from Moorabbin station, this sunlit corner turns the midday rush into an art form with paninis grilled to order. Forget fridge-stale cabinet bread; the kitchen sears chicken hot off the grill before pressing it crisp. Regulars chart their morning commute around steady espresso shots and a notably spicy Prana chai brewed with an uncommonly heavy hand on the leaves. Grab a warm daily muffin with butter, or take a seat curbside with a breakfast roll before boarding the citybound train.

  • Grilled to Order: Meats like chicken are cooked fresh to order rather than reheated from cold display cabinets.
  • Proper Loose-Leaf Chai: Brewed with a generous heap of whole-spice Prana chai leaves, served hot or poured over ice.
  • Station-Side Ritual: Positioned directly across from Moorabbin station for quick morning coffee and breakfast paninis.

  • Consistent Daily Toasties and Coffee

    Mornings and lunchtimes offer freshly prepared hot comfort staples like grilled toasties paired with reliable house coffee.

    I buy cheese toasties from them almost every 2 days and their coffee is best.

  • Rich Loose Leaf Prana Chai

    Generous quantities of loose leaf tea provide a rich, aromatic chai profile without thin or overly milky results.

    I have never, ever, come across a cafe that uses this quantity and quality of chai in their Prana Chai’s.

Before you head over

Practical advice for timing your order and getting the best experience at Uncles

  • Allow Time for Made-to-Order Paninis

    Panini fillings like chicken are fried and grilled fresh to order rather than simply warmed from the display window, so expect a brief preparation wait for lunch orders.

  • Opt for the Loose Leaf Prana Chai

    Hot and iced Prana chais are brewed using generous amounts of loose leaf spice rather than syrup, delivering a rich infusion instead of watered-down milk.

  • Convenient Train Commuter Stop

    Situated right across from Moorabbin train station, it provides swift takeaway coffee and breakfast paninis ideal for your morning work commute.
