In fact, this place was nothing short of awesome, even though they were only doing takeaway at the time. Mind you, the crowds out the front sort of gave me the impression that this place is pretty popular. You can probably tell that the coffee here is awesome, a true Melbourne icon. I've really got to come back here again, especially since the service was top notch as well.Y

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, we all know that…read more This means that if I go to a cafe for breakfast, it better be good or I am a grumpy little lady. Hot honey did not disappoint! Firstly we were greeted by surely the nicest waiter I have ever met, she asked us how I morning was then went on to tell us the specialties and all the while being bubbly and smiling. So refreshing. Firstly I got the iced coffee, and just as expected it was a delicious espresso with not too much milk all icy and delicious. Plus a little scoop of icecream on the top made it sweet and tasty! We were told the avocado smash and the corn bread were the best sellers. So we ordered them. They quickly arrived. The cornbread was thick and moist with a beautiful avocado and tomato salsa with a little coriander (YUM!) the bacon was generous and well cooked. The smashed avocado was served on crusty bread with just enough mint to make it tangy not too tart. We added bacon and again it was a generous portion and well cooked. There is seriously no feedback I could give Hot Honey, other than to keep doing exactly what they are doing. Lovely staff, great organic food, good value and great location! I will certainly be a returning customer and if you're looking for a yummy breakfast then you better get down to Hot Honey :)

It's not the speediest place to get your fix, but all that time waiting means you're getting something made with the utmost care and attention. I love the simple food menu - cakes, cookies, bagels (the "everything" with hummus is great) and two types of muesli generously portioned and topped with yoghurt and season fruit. If you're after more elaborate breakfast and brunch fare then look elsewhere. But for a simple and affordable way to start the day, this place gets my vote. The music is, well, divisive. Sometimes I love the mix they play and other times it just gets a little too loud and hectic and I leave feeling stressed out, especially if it's packed with customers. Great for their bottom line, not so great for feelings of serenity.

Sparkling water on tap, 2. Rotating filter coffee selection from Seven Seeds, Market Lane, Small Batch etc. 3. Delicious baked goods are from Bakewell & Co, 5 and dime bagels, and Lune Croissanterie. Note: Ordering the Everyday filter is the only way you get to drink out of the Everyday Mug.

Honestly, it is actually better than some of the other coffee places that I've visited.

I was really sad to see her leave one of my regular spots in the city but so happy she's running this place. Definitely someone who deserves it and is the biggest draw card for me as I know she will look after everyone. It's your typical hipster place with polished concrete floors and light timber everywhere. I don't find it amazing but that's down to personal taste, however the timber roof frames are amazing and original I believe. Coffee is always fantastic. Today's coffee, a long black, tasted like a fruit liquor. Amazing. I thought the food menu needed a few more options previously, and this week they started a new menu which is well rounded. Good variety of options. I had the toastie and was deliciously comforting for a cold melb arvo. This is my favourite of the Code Black family and one of my favourites in Melbourne.

Thankfully this little cafe right next to the place I was working at makes one of the best omelettes I've ever had! It's big, it's French style (the best way to have an omelette!), and they change it up every few days. They still have the usual assortment of other local breakfast options as well as good coffee, but this omelette made a great start to each of my workdays in Melbourne! The place is easy to miss. The first time I saw it I thought it was a full fledged restaurant so just walked on by. Then one of the guys at my workspace mentioned it again so I checked it out, and wasn't disappointed. The only complaint I'd have is that the interior could use a bit of sprucing up, but this is coming from a guy who is spoiled by the Fitzroy hipster cafes every day.

Standing room only with sparkling water on tap this place is as hipster as it gets. Neutropic offee with MCT oil to allow for slow release of coffee strength, double whizz which is two espresso shots and a cocochai which is chocolate flavoured chai are some of the options. I ordered an extra hot skim cap and the barista refused to make it extra hot and refused to put chocolate powder on it because that's not how cappuccinos are originally made. Oh well then there should be some warning before cappuccino orders are taken. I forced the barista to give me some chocolate bits. Coffee is a strong hit . Strong bodied and very robust but leaves a silky smooth after taste. Good coffee.

The small cafe is filled with natural light and the out door seating is perfect for a summers day. Staff are always a little snappy when I've been in, must be all the tasty coffee they are drinking putting them on edge. That brings me to the coffee. So good! They are happy to make it anyway you like, I suggest asking the barista what they recommend trying - there seems to be new beans in all the time. Food is minimal but good. The savoury waffles are my personal favourite. A nice place to relax, read the paper and have a bite to eat with some good coffee.

This friendly little spot has one large communal table, bar seating and some outdoor table to enjoy a coffee or brunch. Coffee wise, I think the rotate their beans because I've seen mentions of Code Black but my iced pour over was Dukes beans - and delicious. Really delicious. They offer espresso and pour overs, and have a range of home brewing equipment for sale (particularly the Kalita brand). I just popped in for coffee, but food wise they offer great brunch fare. If you're a fan of waffles, you're in luck because they have a dedicated waffle section, as well as some other very tempting items like 5 and dime bagels. All very bread/carb heavy so if it's not your bag, you might not find something you're after. I'd definitely come back for the coffee or a waffle if I was feeling less virtuous than my last visit!
