St Kilda's Staple Providore is run by Allpress alum Evan Lindau, and he knows exactly what people want: coffee, good food and dogs. As you'd expect from his pedigree, Lindau is pouring some of St Kilda's best coffee — but there's plenty more on offer as well. Like the simple but delicious food menu that manages to to cram in as much flavour as possible. Try out the Staple: a soft-boiled egg served with sliced tomato, avocado, hummus, sumac and toast, or the cafe's classic grilled cheese with gruyere, pecorino cheese and kimchi served on seeded sourdough.

The buzzing footpath dining area that makes up a decent portion of Staple's seating capacity is doggo-friendly and perfect for people watching.
