Ive been using this unassuming internet cafe for years - particularly in the days before I had my…read moreown printer. These days I have my own printer at home so I dont get down here much any more, but I do still use the place for scanning and other specialist computer stuff which I dont know anything about. Barnstormer is run by a very nice young man presumably of Indian heritage. He is extremely friendly, goes out of his way to help his customers and explains how things work to them. He also makes this place extremely good value for money. Im also very impressed with how he tolerates my children when I have to bring them in with me (they are 3.5 year old twin boys). He is very patient with them. Even though I now dont need to use this cafe often, I will always keep coming here when I need to scan or do specialist things involving a computer! I would recommend this place to anyone in the Brunswick or surrounding areas who doesnt have a computer at home! Long live Barnstormer Internet Cafe!!!

Bereft of other ideas for somewhere to get internet access in North Melbourne I went to Cydus…read more Immediately after walking in I knew I'd gone to the wrong place. Make no bones about it, this is a hardcore gamers internet zone. 'Obviously!' I hear you say. 'Have a look at the place's name.' Fair point but now at least nobody else on Yelp! won't make the same mistake. As you walk into Cydus the first thing that hits you is how dark it is. It is almost pitch black and the luminous screen lighting is all you can see by. The second thing that hits you is how quiet it is, everybody is wearing headphones, playing games, not talking. The third thing that hits you is that this place is expensive (in internet terms) at $3.30 an hour for non-members. It's $2.20 for members and membership costs $10. Most internet places are creepy, but walking in here from broad daylight is just weird. A world I don't want to know about or become involved in. If you're a gamer you'll probably love it, if you're looking to check your emails go somewhere else.

Cydus's new location is awesome! Played with some mates on a…read moreSaturday afternoon and the new place is so light now with a great atmosphere. The computer specs are not too bad either with all new pcs and gear. If you're in the area, I would definitely check out their new place, you will be surprised!

I've lived in Footscray for over 10 years and always loved this cafe. Especially their email to…read moreprint service. Today however, for the first time ever, I was charge 30c per side, or 60c per page, for a print job. This is so over priced for printing! I know no-one who charges more 15c a side, which is the price I've usually paid here. When I queried it the staff member was incredibly rude as well. Not good. Won't be back anymore. Such a shame. Good luck with your exorbitant print prices!

Before a recent 4 day stint at the showgrounds, I was starting to panic that I wouldn't have good…read moreaccess to food. A friend suggested Reverence and what a mighty fine recommendation it was. A takeaway coffee on the first day was solid, the friendly service really elevating the experience and convincing me I needed to return for a more leisurely visit. Later in the week I escaped the showgrounds for a couple of hours to get a little work done and to get some food that didn't come pre-packaged (as is usually the case in an expo like environment). A ginger & lemongrass tea was brewed to order and a chalkboard special of warm lentil salad with greens, yoghurt and a poached egg was filling, nutritious and above all delicious! That's the kind of wholesome, soothing food I could eat all the time and it's sad that so few cafes bother to offer something out of the sandwich/poached egg/ other stuff with wheat and bread options. Nice one Reverence. Again, the service was charming and this time I got to enjoy the old school set up, miss-matched furniture and cool tunes. A+ would come again.

Once upon a time Ascot Vale was the suburb no one had heard of. Hell, even now people don't know…read morewhere it is, squeezed between the Ponds of Moon (aka Moonee Ponds) and Newmarket (renowned as the host of dumpling house Laksa King). But ask someone how to get to the Vale? Nup. So the presence of a 'specialty coffee and tea' house is not a good outcome for those who are comfortable with streets full of yummy mummy road warriors and African guys from the local housing commission chilling outside the internet café. But helpful if you're explaining where you live to the hipsters of Fitzroy. While I question the commercial sense of Reverence Specialty Coffee and Tea setting up the tenth coffee house on a four block stretch - not to mention being in the middle of the 'burbs -it's brilliant if you're after a single origin espresso or a cold drip and some cheese cake. Floor to ceiling windows and brown-and-orange minimalist outfitting creates a cavernous space inside the former 'avvocato e solicitor' office. While perturbing a number of food bloggers who, having survived the lengthy no. 57 tram trip to get there, blanched before imparting their approval, it's nice to have a big table and some space over which you can read a broadsheet newspaper with breakfast or lunch. They could, however, use some cushions on the high chairs in front of the windows - they look cool but aren't particularly comfortable to sit on. Reverence has also nailed a key aspect that any new entrant to suburban café culture requires if it's to survive: friendly staff. Said friendly staff member was with my Honduras aguas dulce filter that came - and this needs to be pointed out - in one of those excellent double-walled thermo glasses. The food is good, the coffee is an education, and the location is on the sidelines of a bourgeoning it-spot. It's unlikely Ascot Vale and its cafes like Reverence are going to remain undiscovered gems for much longer.
