The Armstrong Street Food Store

Dropped in for a quick breakfast and a coffee. Loved it. My go to for breakfast is always scrambled egg, and this was perfect. Coffee was great, service was very friendly and fast. Just wish I had time to stay longer. Will definitely be returning here to try lunches and more. Had a great selection of sweet / reward food as well. Delicious.

Excellent food, service and coffee.

I was only in the store for 5 minutes as I was in a rush. I am so sorry I left without paying for 2 large soy latte’s!

It was not intentional, please send me details for bank transfer and I will happily pay. Alternatively, next time I am in the area I will come in and pay. Thank you.

Very nice lunch and very kind people. I’d like to come back to try Calamari salad. Thank you so much.

This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely cafe. We ordered, pardon me if I spell the dishes wrong lol but from memory, they're SHAKSHUKA and SPANISH something eggs lol the point is, both dishes were absofreakinlutely superduerfantabolous. Coffee was really great. I ordered flat white, it had bit too much of froth for my liking (sorry I'm fussy) but this gem of a barista gentleman fixed one for me in the second go, without even me having to order it. And my wife was looked after by another gentleman who brought her some extra toast which was beautiful, crunchy from the outside and soft from the inside. that's how much attention they pay to their customers. We absolutely loved our experience. Will definitely be back for the another awesome experience.

The Food Store has been the best cafe in Middle Park for over 20 years and keeps getting better. Love coming back here when I’m visiting family in Melbourne!

One of my favourite cafes in Melbourne. Coffee is decent. Homemade food options are spectacular. The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming, lacking the overwrought pretensions some Melbourne cafes seem to ooze. The team is bright and down to earth. Locals dote on the place. It is never empty.

Great local cafe always busy and buzzing with locals for breakfast and lunch in a lovely village setting. Take away, inside dining or al fresco under the trees. I enjoyed the fish and chips, and salad options but the souvlaki and daily specials looked good. Excellent coffee, with roasted beans available for sale and different leaf teas - the almond chai was great. Plenty of freshly baked home made cakes, bread and pastries 😋

Wow this place is a great little find. Friendly staff that actually come out from behind the counter to greet you! The coffee is one of the best I’ve ever had and the food was super fresh and tasty. Keep doing what your doing!

Fantastic coffee and food. Highly recommend.

So glad I had popped into this cafe! I had great difficulty trying to decide what to eat because everything looked incredibly delicious and is made fresh in store. The lovely lady behind the counter was a great help and made my day!

Delicious Crepes, friendly service 😁
Would definitely come back again!

Great food. Very friendly staff.

This place is great! We’re not from the area and we stopped here randomly for a bite to eat and a coffee! Staff were so lovely and the coffee was fabulous!! I had a salad and rosemary pie and a caramel slice. All of which I would highly recommend! Looking forward to returning here again.

It’s easy to pass by this place. On the outside it’s very ordinary, especially compared with some of the nearby place. Once you enter the whole feeling changes. The display of food is eye catching and the taste of the food I have tried is mouthwatering. The coffee is easily the best in the area and up in the top reaches of all of Melbourne. The staff are engaging and have some fantastic humour. When I’m in Melbourne I walk many kilometres just to get coffee and food from here. Nothing else comes close.

A very nice cafe that is popular with locals. Great food options and the coffee is good. Nice ambience.

Best café ever! With amazing variety of food. Great coffee and friendly stuff. Highly recommended.

Such a great cafe that does an amazing coffee, great food (all prepared on site) and to top it off staff are very friendly and treat their customers like they’re family - Love that this is my local 💛

Incredibly friendly, great coffee and the food is top notch!! Could not recommend more highly, best place in Middle Park for a coffee and a bite to eat!

Perhaps there's a little more competition in the Middle Park village or "strip" these stays but this long established family run caffe and food store remains on top for mine. Among other things, they serve fresh food [with al a carte sandwiches, souvlaki's and fish n chips to name a few] and offer delicious take home options as well - all maintaining a very high standard. You can swear by the quality of the coffee too (and you can get one from 6am). There's a rumour the family has opened another caffe in South Melbourne near City Rd, I'm going to check that one out very soon.

Great place, friendly owners. I’m not from the area but would travel to visit this place again anytime . Thanks Stacey for a great coffee and putting a smile on my face!
