Snot Chocolates, Huntsmans and Scoopalespressos sound like things you would find in Willy Wonka's…read moreChocolate Factory, but Taylor Blend Espresso is a far cry from Wonka's crazy antics and more like a hidden wonderland of coffee and "exotic drinks." Those cheeky Stoneyfellians have been hiding this place from the general public for years and I can see why. This place, despite being of simple fit out and design really has an element of shock and awe to it as you are constantly giggling to yourself about some quirky detail in the place. For example, I swear these guys are telepathic... my soy latte arrived in my hands before I even ordered. I hadn't even paid for my coffee yet and it was sitting in front of me! Not only that but this place caters for the child inside everyone... - Snot Chocolate = Hot Chocolate with yellow and green marshmallows on top (get the picture) - Gelarossa = Frozen Blood Orange juice with lemon gelati - Huntsman = A hyped up version of a "spider" Furthermore their exotic drinks are worth a try just for something different. Although you really aren't being that exotic but having an iced coffee with some chocolate on top (Chino Ghiacciato) you still feel slightly naughty by ordering it. So why the 4 stars, you're raving Chloe, you're raving! I know... I really have to try this place again to be sure but I had a low fat lemon cheese cake that wasn't to die for (it wasn't lemony but more sugary) and I am a bit of a lemon dessert connoisseur!

Taylor Blend has quickly become one of Adelaide's finest coffee shops. Hidden away in the eastern…read moresuburbs, it's location is perfect for a morning get-together or an after work chill-out. Being fortunate enough to live only a couple of streets away, it's become one of my favourite spots out of both convenience and their great coffee. The breakfast/lunch menu is limited to croissants, focaccias and the like; however the desert cabinet is very appetizing, especially the wide selection of macarons in all of their colourful glory. Service is always super quick; I can't think of any instance where I've waited any longer than a minute for my coffee. They also have a selection of coffee/espresso accessories for sale for those of you that take the spirit of the barista home with you. The shop is dog-friendly and has water dishes for your canine counterparts whilst you sip your coffee. With Newland Reserve directly across the road, it's an ideal spot to wind down after taking your dog for a run or spending a day out with the family soaking up the sunshine. J ust keep in mind that being situated in the eastern suburbs means you're probably going to be in the vicinity of a few pretentious housewives now and then, with their dolled-up Chihuahuas included.

I thought it might have just been the barista, but I think it is the beans. Just bland with a really funny back taste. Also, my last brunch here was very average.

I have heard they have line ups on the weekend so I'm not sure how they go on those days. why not 5 stars? one star was taken off because I can't stand seeing staff eating behind the counter and this morning there was what seemed to be the manager scoffing cake near the cake fridge and another was, well I'll let that one go for now. a heads up, when the place is small try not to have private kitchen table conversations in ear shot of patrons, because if watching staff down food isn't a turn off that certainly is.

A new cafe in an old corner grocery store has breathed life back into a sad little shop…read more We went there for a Friday morning coffee (opens at 830) and 3 hours later we were still there after our 2nd cups/pots of tea that pour seemingly endless cups (ok..maybe 3). It's advertised as a cooking school, cafe and "stuff" venue, and is starting slowly with openings just Mon - Friday until 4pm, but they have events coming up, and have various cooking opportunites, including classes for kids - so keep up to date on https://www.facebook.com/FiveLittleFigs. The breakfasts that were served looked generous and delicious, and they have gluten, wheat and vegan food on offer and it looks fresh and sumptuous...next time! They cater to children, so if you're worried about young people playing (and crying) - don't come! I see this as a refuge for parents who want to meet their friends while their kids can draw on the chalk board or have something to eat at their own table. Support a new local, or pop out of your way for a quirky, delicious cafe.

From the moment we walked in, to when we left, we were made to feel so welcome…read more The owner, Michelle, had placed a reserved sign on a table, however pointed out to us all the available options so we could choose where we wanted to sit. She greeted us personally and gave us a warm welcome. I love the menus! What a novel idea to have them made out of little children's books. Read a little story while waiting - why not? Or just dwell in the reverie that such an item evokes. The atmosphere is fun and friendly with quirky and lovely decor that has been well described in other reviews. Suffice it to say that there is much to look at, enjoy and also purchase. The food was delicious! I love an all day breakfast option and am particularly impressed with the varied bread and non-bread options. e.g. I had a breakfast dish, called 'smashed' which was served on sweetcorn fitters. Delicious non-bread accompaniment to eggs and salmon. My dining companions ordered the pumpkin burger and apparently that was scrumptious. Really healthy too. It looked amazing. Michelle's attention to detail, atmosphere, quality and presentation of food and ability to create warm feelings and fun, make this a great place to come (they also have cooking classes for children and various other activities you can keep abreast of on Facebook).

Just off Magill Road you will find this bright and bubbly café ready to make you a great cup of…read morecoffee. Busy during lunch periods and weekends with the locals, you will need to get here early to get a good spot. The café is not that big, so be sure to take that into consideration depending on the time of the day. All of the tables are lined with butchers paper and crayons are on offer for the kids to draw, while parents enjoy some well earned recharge time. I love that the café collects fun drawings and pops them up on the wall to display! I can imagine that children would love to see their pieces of art on the wall when they return. If you need coffee, you will fine strong and flavoursome beans here. Just what I love! I like a well rounded coffee that picks me up with a kick of caffeine. That is why I always order a strong flat white. And that is exactly what I received. Perfect! After a long morning, coffee always goes well with a treat. Oh yeah, bring on the Dutch Style Brownie. A little drier than most brownies; But I think that is the style. Nice chocolate flavour and really hit the spot. I am told that the brekkie and lunch here are also really good. So I endeavour to return to try that as well. Last thing to point out, the staff are really lovely. Be sure to know that you and your guests will be well looked after.

The new kid on the block is definitely worth a stop. With their 'nothing is too much trouble…read moreattitude', interesting and delicious menu and excellent coffee, the owners are on a winner. They have an all day breakfast, lunch and snacks menu which ranges from a few dollars to around $13 for the bigger meals. Vegetarian & gluten free options available, and they'll happily mix and match if the selection doesn't quite fit your bill. They're currently only closed Monday and open 8-4 Tuesday - Saturday; 9-4 Sunday. It's tiny (maybe 5 tables) with a few spots outside, but well worth putting on your coffee route. Masses of parking around the back, but slow down coming up Magill Road or you'll miss it. Keep an eye out for their big yellow sign and a couple of yellow chairs out the front.

One of our group had a really great juice and we all enjoyed the food and coffee. We were the last people to leave - they were very polite in not rushing us out the door, even though they would have been keen to do so. I would definitely return.

Needless to say it has haunted my dreams since, so today after a hard workout my husband and I biked over for lunch. The first thing that strikes you while approaching from Kitchener Street is the lush, inviting covered wrap around porch; there is plentiful and adequately spaced tables located here (so as not to be forced to overhear unwanted convos). Next, upon entering this clean and tidy cottage you will notice three separate distinct seating areas: the main dining area, a smaller dining area tucked away by the kitchen and pastry counter, and a delightful and welcoming covered deck. We were promptly greeted by one of the friendly staff and seated straight away. Tap water, glasses, and menus were waiting at the table and after an appropriate amount of time our order was taken and special requests confirmed. This place is really busy but it seems well managed; the staff is very attentive without being intrusive. As we waited for our order we noticed the bustling and efficient staff who worked like a well oiled machine - dirty dishes were quickly removed from tables, additional carafes of tap water were dropped off without being asked for, and patrons seemed relaxed, very happy, and satisfied. By meals' end we, too, were among those happy people. My husband ordered a sandwich that I struggle to recall the name ;( it was a hearty sandwich made from perfectly toasted sourdough, grilled chicken breast meat, swiss cheese, garlic aioli, a mix of tender and flavourful greens, and crispy bacon. I ordered the smashed avocado with feta on the same delightfully prepared sourdough. It, too, came with a generous portion of greens. We could not be happier with our newfound neighbourhood brekkie place. AND there is a coffee loyalty card to boot!
