Love this neighbourhood cafe. We ordered the Salmon Benedict and the Corn fritters and both dishes were full of flavour and super yum. Lovely, relaxed atmosphere, pup friendly and run by an amazing team. We’ll be back... got our eyes on their toastie selection!

Wonderful freshly made food and great service. This place has so much to offer with great decor, lovely service, and plenty to eat! If you’re after something quick, you can choose from a selection of delicious items from the cabinet, or if you’d like to sit in you can choose from a selection of great toasties or brunch options. I’ll keep coming back

Went for brunch. Food and coffee are exemplary. Quick service and staff were kind enough to make changes to ordered menu to make it vegetarian friendly. Tuna melt was great!

The coffee is good! Hidden gem in the neighborhood. The shop is fully of vintage items like coffee grinders and even the cashier machine is a piece of antique that works! We had their recommended roasted mushroom special. It's was awesome.

May 2024 Stillmancafe in Richmond still make some amazing toasties, coffee, & pastries. I was invited to try their latest beef brisket toastie and OMG it was amazing!! My friend tried the mushroom toastie, and that was equally as good. The latte and the cappuccino were perfect, and I was spoilt with the best apple strudel that I've ever had. Big call, but the pastry was light and crispy and the filling, delish! That combined with genuinely lovely friendly service made this a great experience. 2023 I haven't been to Stillman Cafe for some time, so a visit was well overdue. A small block from the corner of Bridge Road and Burnley Streets, this cafe is easy to find. The service is excellent, really friendly answelcoming. It's a very comfortable space. I ordered a Ruben toastie with pastrami, sauerkraut, dijon mayonnaise, and pickle on seeded bread. OMGosh, this was delicious. The pastrami was excellent quality, the sauerkraut was really tasty, and there wasn't a strong vinegar flavour. The bread was great, and the dijon mustard worked perfectly. What a great toastie. My partner had a vegetarian toastie, which was called a mushroom melt. This consisted of roasted mushrooms, garlic, and baby spinach. This was another winner, and the toastie was full of well cooked shrooms. An amazing vegetarian toastie. This place is definitely worth a visit. Previous review January 2020 This is a nice new cafe on Burnley Street. It's white and bright inside, and there is a small courtyard w seating for 4 ppl. I tried a bacon and egg sandwich. This was 2 eggs, lashings of tasty bacon, rocket, and BBQ sauce on some toasted sourdough. OMGosh, this definitely hit the spot! My sandwich was delicious. The eggs were just runny, the bacon was cooked really well, and the sourdough toast was perfect. The service was lovely, friendly, and welcoming. This new place is a must visit!

Wonderful little neighbourhood place, adorable outside dining area and thoroughly enjoyed my chili chorizo scramble. Chili oil on the side is a great touch and was delicious with it. Unfortunately as they were (I guess) adjusting the awning, some water on top of it from when it rained earlier fell on me and a little got in my coffee, I didn’t mind but they were very much apologetic and replaced it for free. Also do be wary the place doesn’t have a bathroom for customers. Will be back for sure though, loved the place and lovely staff!

Always love coming to this cafe. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. There are lots of fresh and quick food choices on display and a menu for ordering something more substantial if you prefer. Coffee is made with great attention. 5 stars all the way!
