Correction (9 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
The page is brief by design. Only three cafe-type places in and around St Kilda came back with a free-wifi listing we could check, so that is the whole list: one tavern in St Kilda and two cafes in Prahran, outside St Kilda.
The wifi tags come from the Australian Good Food Guide, which means they are listing data, not a promise from the venue. We also read each place’s own website for what it says about breakfast and opening hours.
None of the three publishes a laptop policy that we could find. Treat the wifi tag as a starting point and ask before you settle in for the day.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wifi and breakfast at a tavern | Dick Whittington Tavern | see below | not printed here |
| Prahran brunch with wifi | Oscar Cooper | Bottomless Brunch | from $100pp |
| Early start with wifi | Tall Timber | see below | not printed here |
Dick Whittington Tavern — 32 Chapel Street, St Kilda VIC 3182
AGFG tags Dick Whittington Tavern with Free Wifi, Breakfast and Pet Friendly. Those are listing labels, not the pub’s own statement. Its own site lists opening hours as Sun-Wed 10am - Mid and Thurs-Sat 10am-1am, so it is a pub first and a desk second.
Laptop policy: We could not find one published, so ask at the bar before you unpack.
Oscar Cooper — 160 Greville Street, Prahran VIC 3181
AGFG tags Oscar Cooper with Free Wifi and Pet Friendly, and the venue’s site says it is serving cafe dishes for breakfast & lunch, plus craft beer. We could not find weekly opening hours on its own site, so check before you head over from St Kilda. Its menu prints Bottomless Brunch at Oscar Cooper from $100pp, which is a long sit rather than a quick coffee.
On the menu (copied from oscarcooper.com.au/bottomless-brunch-1 on 5 October 2026):
- Bottomless Brunch: from $100pp
Desk price: We found no desk or minimum-spend price, only the Bottomless Brunch price in the list above.
Tall Timber — 60 Commercial Road, Prahran VIC 3181
AGFG tags Tall Timber with Free Wifi and Breakfast. Its own site says it is open 365 days a year, with weekday hours of 7am - 3pm and weekend and public holiday hours of 7:30am - 3pm. That gives it a daytime schedule, with a 3pm close every day, quoted from the venue itself.
Best for: A daytime session, since its site lists a 3pm close every day.
