Gloria Jean's Coffees is a secular coffee join that is prominent around Melbourne. Its interior and…read morecoffees are fairly commercial in nature. There's really not much to say about Gloria Jean's Coffees. I think being such a mainstream coffee joint everything about this shop is commercialized. The coffees were reasonable though slightly too strong for me. The interior of the shops is also fairly commercialized. Walking into Gloria Jean's was the same experience as all the other Gloria Jean's Coffees. Overall, Gloria Jean's provided me with a decent coffee for a decent price. The place holds nothing special if that is what you're looking for. If you are desperate for a coffee and are in a coffee emergency then Gloria Jean's would be more than adequate to fill in the gap :)

As the name suggests, these folk are really fuckin' into coffee. And the shit thing about places…read morelike this, is that they can have a tendency to alienate those of us who: a) like coffee but don't really give a toss about whether it's been hand picked by naked Bolivian princesses; or b) are addicted to caffeine, so need coffee but don't really give a toss whether it's single, double or god damned multiple source (whatever that means). Growers have a range of single sourced beans and dish out a few locally grown varietals. And, to be fair, every coffee I've had from this place has been bordering on exceptional. They have a tendency to go heavy on the pour, so be wary of asking for a 'strong' anything -- their shit is already guaranteed to rock your caffeine receptors into a coma. So, if you like coffee with your coffee and a healthy dose of 'information' along with it, I couldn't recommend this place more.

When we entered the cafe it was empty, with only the employees and one patron sitting on an outside…read moretable. We decided to take a table inside opposite the display case. We were promptly greeted by a server who brought water and menus to the table. Within five minutes more patrons entered the cafe, the lunch rush had begun. My dining companions and I ordered drinks as we examined the menu. Iced latte, fresh juice and a berry smoothie, all of which tasted good. After a while I didn't enjoy the berry smoothie, it was too sweet for me however I think that was the size of the drink - it came in a giant milkshake cup. The menu is decent in size and has some delicious looking options. One friend ordered a Chicken Schnitzel Burger from the display case, another friend the Beef Burger, I got the Mighty Burger. All our food came out promptly and hot enough to enjoy, but it could have been hotter. We were all intrigued by the purple buns which the two beef burgers came served on. We also enjoy some chips, good sized, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. We all agreed we'd come back just for the chips. Overall the food was delicious, with good portion sizes and reasonably priced. We left with a takeaway coffee which was hot, and well made, a little milky so I think I'd ask for an extra shot next time. The atmosphere was pleasant, soft music, polite staff who acknowledged those they knew with smiles and a personal greeting. The open kitchen was intriguing as you were able to watch the chef prepare and cook each meal, even as things got busier he was able to continue delivering meal after meal with little help in a reasonable time. I only have two complaints; firstly the metal stools aren't overly comfortable to sit on for a significant time, so either sit on the benches with the cushions or pinch a cushion for the stool! Secondly there was a patron out the front of the cafe who was having a loud opinionated discussion with his dining companion. This didn't make the most pleasant experience as his voice carried in and through the cafe however this isn't necessarily a reflection on the cafe and he left shortly after our food arrived. Overall the Penny House was a pleasant experience and I'll definitely return to try out the rest of their menu.

Coffee after coffee is pounded out, sometimes frothed milk poured from a large pitcher into multiple cups.
