The Brislora
Inside The Brislora
The Brislora in St Kilda offers a relaxed cafe experience set just off the busier St Kilda Road, tucked into a quiet, leafy pocket that brings a little calm to the urban surroundings. The vibe here leans into natural light and cozy corners, making it a welcoming spot for locals to settle in for a morning catch-up or a leisurely weekend brunch.
If you’re after straightforward, quality coffee paired with thoughtfully prepared food, this is the kind of place that delivers. The menu features familiar favourites like smashed avo and a reliable egg benedict, alongside a well-rounded drinks list including smooth espresso options and refreshing iced coffees that come in handy during warmer months. For those who like their drinks a little different, the matcha and chai lattes, both hot and iced, offer a flavorful alternative to the usual cafe brews.
Seating choices include bright indoor spaces where sunlight filters through generously during the day, lifting the mood without needing artificial buzz. For those who prefer fresh air, there’s outdoor seating that manages to feel a bit private despite the proximity to a main road, making it a pleasant spot to enjoy brunch without the usual St Kilda noise.
The Brislora’s food presentation tends toward clean, simple, and colourful - think fresh pomegranate seeds or watercress adding brightness to a plate of smashed avocado with feta. This attention to detail matches well with the warm, attentive service reported by many visitors. The staff approach adds to a sense that this is a cafe where you’re not just another order number, but someone whose experience matters.
This cafe suits those who appreciate a calm start to the day, a cozy space to unwind with friends, or even a quiet solo stop to enjoy good coffee and a substantial brunch. Weekends, when the sun is streaming in and the place fills with a gentle buzz of conversation, often feel like the best time to visit — whether you’re digging into a juicy chicken waffle or sipping on one of their signature matcha lattes.
