Platform Espresso

Platform Espresso, located just steps from Glen Iris train station, offers a minimalist yet inviting atmosphere with bare light bulbs, brown bottles, and pine timbers, complemented by playful touches like striped paper straws and science beakers used as water jugs. The friendly staff enhances the welcoming environment. The café is popular on weekends, especially among young families, and provides ample seating options, including two-seater tables, larger high tables, and a communal table in the back room. The Chompy espresso blend by Sensory Lab is a highlight, alongside a rotating selection of single-origin coffees. The menu features creative twists on classic dishes, such as the 'Brunsch-etta' with basil, tomatoes, confit mushrooms, goat's cheese, and pomegranate, and a smashed avocado topped with homemade dukkah, marinated goat's cheese, truss tomatoes, and oregano dressing. The latter is particularly memorable for its delectable goat's cheese.
