TL:DR - Lots of interesting fruit tea combinations, which isn't really my preference. The matcha…read moremilk tea I got was alright. Boba could have been better. Not going to lie, the rating is primarily based on the incompatibility of their options and my bubble tea preferences. I came to this place based on a recommendation from a friend. This place focuses primarily on their fruit teas, which I'm not a overly huge fan of and tend to prefer classic milk teas. This limited my options a lot. Ended up getting a matcha latte, which was fine. Nothing overly amazing. More matcha foward, less milk and sugar (I got standard sugar). The boba was alright, it was chewy but tended to stick together inside the drinking, making it a little difficult to get a few boba in each sip. The place inside was rather small, but clean and bright with light colored wood and white walls. The owner has a huge fascination with what I can only assume is a Korean pop-star? Like this guys face is everywhere. But I appreciate the late 90's early 00's Chinese pop-music a lot.

There are limited seats so snag one while you can. SIGNATURE FOUR SEASONS FRUIT TEA This drink was very fruity and refreshing. I like the citrus flavors with the light tea notes. WATERMELON GREEN TEA The watermelon was so fruity and sweet. I love the combo of the fruit with the light green tea flavor. ROSELLE BERRY APPLE This was my favorite. I really like the fresh apple flavor. It was very fruity and reminded me of a fresh squeezed apple juice, but with other fruit bits as well. I would order this again. This place is one of my favorite boba places in melbourne. The flavors are clean and fruity. It's definitely a must visit.

So how's your father? Well they take your favourite caffeinated drink here very seriously. This…read morebusy coffee shop and roaster has helpful, knowledgeable staff at the previously unloved end of Lygon st that's getting more interesting all the time. A casual vibe, small tables for 2 people mixed with communal tables. White walls, sky lights, easy listening music at a good volume and plenty of papers. My macchiato had a choice between 2 single origin beans (Colombia and Ethiopia). Was well ground with a good consistency, smooth, but a touch over roasted for my palate. This is not a brunch place, as they don't pretend to have much in the way of food. There's a few savoury tarts, croissants and muffins but it's the coffee that people come here for. I had a breakfast tart which was flaky and buttery. I devoured it in about 30 seconds. Good place to meet your Dad for a cup of joe plus the sparkling water is a nice touch.

If you are serious about coffee then let me introduce you to the guys at the East Brunswick…read moreCollective (Padre as it is also known). They too are serious about coffee. In fact so much so that they have done away with the sourdough bread, smoked salmon and rocket salads to concentrate solely on roasting and serving up their own unique blends of coffee. And apart from a few titbits of fresh bakery delights they have delivered daily - coffee is indeed all they serve. If you want to find Melbourne's best coffee then I think you will be hard pressed to walk past Padres. Just make sure that you don't make this mistake as, like so many cafes in Melbourne, it is badly sign posted and very small. So much so that I am pretty sure that the confused people walking up and down the Brunswick end of Lygon St are either in search of the perfect coffee or are named Angela (from the local homeless shelter).

(just what you need in the morning - although I must preface this by saying that I have only been drinking coffee for about 15 months). The cakes, donuts and slices are all very nice and the sandwiches and wraps are reasonably priced for Melbourne CBD. The atomosphere is not terribly special but the coffee ladies will remember your order if you come back :)

Kept coming to check on us etc Now to the food , my brunch buddy & I both ordered the brit , hash browns, poached eggs, cheese & a delish capsicum sauce. The coffee was on point, creamy, perfect texture & just yum! Will be a great place to head back to , maybe when the weather improves a little though.

I had a hard time making a choice today, everything that came out looked good and made it one of the longest decision making processes ever. In the end you can't go wrong with french toast and I highly recommend both the menu french toast and what ever special french toast they might have. They do it right! Can't wait to head back in and make my way through the menu.

Look the coffee actually isn't really all that bad, but the service was what was pretty shocking. Yeah, it really didn't stand out in a way that one would expect from a coffee shop.

I'd put this place down as a 'railway station coffee shop'. Well, not quiet, but it is close enough…read moreto enable one to grab a coffee before jumping on an overtly crowded train. However, it was a Saturday when I ventured down here, which means that everybody descends on this place to actually sit and talk. The coffee wasn't all that bad, though not one of the best that I've had, however the place was quite charming, if small. Still, I didn't mind it, but it wasn't a place that really grabbed my attention.

This has to be one of the most dangerous places in the world for your waistline. The Gelato here is…read morethe best I've come across in Melbourne and living round the corner, I ate more ice cream than in any other period in my life. At the height of my addiction I was probably at two gelato cones a week. Coming back stuffed from restaurants down the road there almost always seemed to be a little spot left to fit in some white chocolate and noisette flavoured goodness. They say that ice cream sales go down when it gets cold but you can often spot Gelobar as it is the only ice cream shop with a queue outside in the depths of winter. In summer the queue can be way out the door so a long wait can be in store to satisfy your craving. I prefer the chocolate and nut based flavours over the fruity flavours, but I'm sure you can find out for yourself.

I wonder sometimes how much of Gelobar's current success is due to reputation. More and more, I've…read moreheard people say that the quality has really dropped in the last few years, and even that the service is pretty crap. I'm not able to make any comparisons because I only discovered Gelobar three years ago when I moved to Brunswick East. All I can say is that the gelato is really rather delicious. The Gelobar also happens to be on a stretch of Lygon Street in Brunswick East that's really buzzing with people on warm evenings, which is the perfect time to stop at Gelobar and get some icy sugar in a cone. The long wait in the even longer queue for a cold treat is made a little easier by people-watching and the anticipation of yumminess. I wouldn't go further than the gelato counter. The Italian pastries further along the counter are beautiful to look at but I'm not so keen on them. p.s. walked past Gelobar on Friday evening and it was closed, I'm guessing for refurbishments. Not sure when it'll be open again.
