7 Reviews on “Saint James”
Whether you’re after inside seating, outside seating, or insider seating that ventures outside the box, I have two words for you: Saint James. Great courtyard space.
Does this cafe take its namesake from LeBron James? I hope so — that’d be ultra cool! These guys get all the shots in (like they’ve doing it for a lifetime).
Lovely cafe in Malvern. Nice selections to choose from off the menu, fresh, impressively presented food. Most importantly however, the food was delicious. Good selection of freshly squeezed juices plus bonus…finally a cafe that uses metal straws!! None of this paper crap! Yay Saint James. Thumbs up!!!
This cafe pops up constantly on my feed, finally they got my attention. Yep! Adding Activated Charcoal in your food is the new trend, I still cant get over how amazing the charcoal latte from Brighton Soul was. So you know, the ACTIVATED CHARCOAL HOTCAKES ($19) with blackberry gel, lemon curd, chocolate soil, pistachio mascarpone with mixed berries just too special to not try.
.
Pancakes do taste like activated charcoal, the texture was light and fluffy, worked really well with the blackberry gel. However, mixed berries were missing from the dish
.
We also feel like something savoury, we opted for the OCEAN TROUT CROQUETTES ($21) . It was nice but only a tiny bit of grilled pineapple on the plate. With that money, Id love them to give us two poached eggs instead of one. A bit overpriced I think.
.
Coffee was decent, service was ok. But theres a 10% surcharge on the weekend, just ridiculous to me. Overall thisplace isjust standard, notin arushtocome back.
Saint or sinner? Will this cafe take me to church, or will I feel like I’ve gone to hell? I’ve been here a couple of times, the last time I had their carrot bruschetta which was very tasty – and so much carrot that I didn’t need my glasses for a week.
I came here on the holy day (Sunday) from an invite from the venue. I decided to try the black pudding with fried egg, potatas bravas and crutons. Black pudding is polarising so you either love it or hate it. I didn’t mind this black pudding, it was quite a large serving so try it when you’re hungry. Going with the modern british theme, black pudding is very british.
My friend had the brisket with eggs hollandaise. That dish was particularly good, well presented, nice fatty brisket, well sauced and salsa’ed (not a word). I’d come back for this dish, and the carrot bruschetta.
The coffee was well done – barista skills on point, and is the basis for any cafe to do well. I also tried a couple of their juices which were also satisfying.
I like the homely interior of Saint James. The spearmint and white tables are very iconic to Saint James. The courtyard is a nice option for those when the weather is nice. Friendly staff, there’s a family feel to this cafe, but you see the person coming in just to get their caffeine fix – it feels like Malvern’s pop in local cafe.
Food is not bad. Had the granola. It was really tasty but not enough yogurt for what else was on the plate. Service was poor and I had to remind them of my order. Others who came in after me received theirs, and the coffee was not that hot.
Quaint little malvern cafe
Scrumptious food, friendly staff, prompt and attentive service….
Coffee needs a bit of work…..
Overall a pleasant experience….

Came here after hearing some good stuff anout the place and wasn’t disappointed.
The coffee here is great. We got lattes and long blacks and both were very good. Their jucies are also quite refreshing.
In terms of food, we ordered the Eggs Benedict, Wild Mushrooms, Chilli Scramble and the Hotcakes.
The Benedict was very good. The meat was soft and tasty. I quited enjlyed the subtle sweetness of the apples that made the dish even better and not too heavy.
The chilli scramble was also very good. One of the more flavorful chilli scrambles I have had. We ll seasoned, soft and not dry.
Wild mushrooms were great too. The mushroomss were flavoured which was kinda reminiscent to a bourbon glaze flavour? anyway ot was nice that it had some flavour to it. We enjoyed this dish the most.
Unfortunately the downside was the hotcakes. We came mid-week and wasnt a busy day. So I am assuming there was only one in the kitchen. Our hotcakes came out extremely late. After a few worried looks given to the floor staff we were informed the hotcakes would take a little longer. When it did come it looked beautiful but.. the bottom was almost completely black and the middle of the hotcake was undercook. We assumed they had burnt a couple before ours came out.
We had a couple of bites and left the rest.
Despite the hotcakes mishap, everything else about this place we quite enjoyed and we left quite satisfied.
