Do you know how hard it is to find a perfect soy latte in Melbourne? Bloody hard. Baristas often…read moretreat soy milk the same as dairy, leading to burnt soy that can ruin your precious caffine shot. Annoying Brother make the perfect soy latte. It's fluffy, creamy, and just a little sweet. It's mixed in with their house blend which is one of the best I've had. Their coffee is on point! The cafe itself is a sleek and modern affair with hardwood timber countertops and a neat and tidy decor. The staff are friendly and with an open window bench top and street-side sitting, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the sunshine during the warmer months. Annoying Brother loses some points due to their menu. I'm not the kind of vegan that demands that cafes cater 100% to my needs, but the menu here completely lacks diversity. I can only see one vegetarian option, and there is nothing that could be made vegan. Considering the number of great breakfast places that cater to all diets in the area, it is a little disappointing. If I'm looking for a caffine hit while I'm in the area though, I will definitely find myself sitting by the street, enjoying the rays.

Every Saturday morning, without fail, I will find myself grabbing a coffee from Annoying Brother…read more Despite living painfully close to MANY awesome coffee shops, before we head out to do our Saturday chores, my partner and I simply NEED to stop by. Nope, we've never eaten there. In fact, we've never even sat down and had a coffee. We've only ever popped by for a takeaway and have never EVER been disappointed. The magical barista will take your order, give you change and make your coffee ALL AT THE SAME TIME and my GOD it is a good coffee. Highly recommended if you're in the area and in desperate need of a caffeine hit.

This place did not disappoint. I was lucky enough to be having brunch with a friend who loves food, taking pictures of it and sharing everything he gets. He was also really hungry and ordered two different items off the menu. Thus we had a feast of El Gringo, muesli, and I ordered the French toast with bacon, bananas and ricotta. The El Gringo was ridiculously good! All the different flavors on the plate combined to create one amazing dish and two happy tummies! I'm not a muesli connoisseur so I don't have much to say, but it was very fresh, light and pleasing. The French toast is the bomb-dot-com! You have to try it! You have to make sure to get a small pice of everything in one bite. It is heaven in your mouth! I will definitely return to this place and will bring all of my overseas visitors AND tell all my friends about it. I liked it that much. Last but not least, I spoke to my friend today an he said he's been having dreams about the French toast we had! Haha he wants to go again before he flys home to LA.

I used to trek a fair distance to get to Atomica, and was very excited when I moved near by - my hungover walks to get my strong latte's were a lot shorter! But if you go to a café for a friendly barista and some great service, Atomica may not be the place for you. The high turnover of staff means you rarely see a familiar and friendly face, and to be honest, sometimes they'd prefer to chat to each other than actually serve you. But despite all this, they make one helluva coffee and have a pretty sensational menu too.

It's quite cold inside. The menu has a plethora of options both savoury and sweet and their breakfast options are the most expensive. Dishes range from 17-22 dollars. We got the seasonal greens which were broccolini, kale, Swiss chard, dukkah, salted ricotta and two poached eggs. Quite a filling dish with the right amount of crunchiness, freshness, saltiness and protein a great way to Start off the day. The cacao nibs bowl with its cacao almond milk though a beautiful dish with edible flowers, berries, sunflower seeds, goji berries, and crispy orange was cold to the bone, the almond milk was watery and didn't complement the dish.
