Reviews of East Melbourne General Store
"So cute! Like an old fashioned milk bar, but way better. Lovely inviting shop, such nice service. Stopped for an icecream on a Sunday evening. Will definitely be back"
"Came with my friends a few weeks ago for a late afternoon coffee! I love that you guys are open late and it’s such a nice place to sit and hang out and enjoy a good coffee, if i was nearby i’d be there far too often"
"Since they've started doing a creamy, delicious loose leaf chai, its a great spot for a relaxing drink. Owner and employees treat everyone like family. Nice people, nice place."
"My partner just moved into the neighbourhood so I stopped in today for a coffee and a toastie. Lovely staff, and it's such a cute little shop with a great mix of staples and more eclectic produce. Love the art you're selling too. Will be back for sure!"
"The place to come for that little bit of everything. On a different route to work I found this glorious little place and if I’d had more time I would’ve stopped for a cuppa. Nestled in leafy East Melbourne, this is an old time store that stocks just about everything you do need and might need. Wine seems to be popular here but also Turkish delight, croissants, frozen food, vegemite, dry cleaning, teabags, next to, fresh bread, feather dusters and pretty much most things. The lovely Carly chatted to me about the place that has been here for nearly 30 years and has a regular, local following. Two large couches out the front surrounded by books and toys invite you onto the covered area, with succulents and plants giving it a homely feel - as though you’re sitting with a neighbour on their front porch. It is a place that you can only appreciate if you visit so hop along and check it out. Will take many of you back down memory lane."
