About Gillott Espresso
Gillott Espresso is a cafe in Melbourne that sits closer to a brunch spot than a traditional bakery, though it's worth knowing about if you like your breakfast with good bread. Locals link it with sourdough, and the pastries and baked goods get a nod too.
The menu runs across breakfast, brunch and lunch, with dessert and vegetarian options in the mix. The eggs benedict and the French toast come up often, along with smashed avo and seasoned eggs. We've heard the matcha latte is a good-looking one, and the coffee has plenty of fans who say it holds its own by Melbourne standards. Helpful staff are a regular mention, and people tend to find it good value.
You can dine in among the plants, grab something to go, or have it delivered. They also offer kerbside pickup and catering, and there's a drive-through if you're in a hurry.
This is a popular spot, and we've heard the odd grumble about slow food or coffee when it gets busy. If you're on a tight schedule, takeaway is the safer bet, and a seat on a quieter morning suits a leisurely meal better.
They open early on weekdays and a little later on weekends, so check the hours before you head in.
