The coffee was definitely dense and strong. Sadly, they did not have any vanilla flavoring, but the oat milk flavoring shined through. The cafe was busy and packed, definitely showing its character and love in this city. The workers were kind and the drinks were correctly and quickly!

This is really a destination cafe because if you aren't into Vic Street shopping, then there is very little reason to venture down these streets, but oh my it's totally worth it. I came across the team here at the Melbourne International Coffee Expo in May 2012 and since I come every couple of weeks to pick up a fresh bag of their delicious beans, which are roasted next door. The team does an amazing job delivering the final product, in an industrial setting. They know their product and are passionate about it. Craig Simon, their roaster was a competitor in the 2012 Barista Cup - so they've got excellent pedigree. They've just added food so you can have snacks / lunch with a decent hit. So there you go - I've just spilled my secrets and shared my favourite place in Melbourne for coffee. #yourewelcome.
