Maki ZMay 9, 2013Only decent person working here is the manager who luckily works on the floor. Staff need to cheer the f up and learn some manners.
Third attempt here. Untrained staff, wrong coffee order and when I questioned they couldn't give a fuck. I'm done with this place. So many better spots.
Have a espresso, but ask for the blend of the day... awesome ;)
Bert GoldsmithMarch 23, 2010Hardcore coffee-nerds make possibly the best coffee I have had anywhere, ever.
YogaChickyAugust 2, 2013Soup was okay but not brilliant considering the price. The coffee again...was ok. Felt crowded and rushed.
Troy DeanMarch 7, 2010Coffee is good, atmos is good, junior staff too cool for school, no free wifi, boo. Good place to meet colleagues.
MelsieJuly 23, 2014Sth Melbourne store I have had repeated rude service yet the Carlton North Store is 'Amazeballs' for service and not pretentious.
Grab a coffe here while you wait for your table at St A's!
Couldn't agree more, my Mexican cousin (I'm actually Mexican so it applies) is great!
ClarinnaJuly 2, 2012Great coffee but the staff was really rude, she said "you guys're really pain in the ass"..
- Always try the coffee of the day! It's always a pleasant surprise!
Server was was cranky we asked to redeem 4 square special. Made us feel like a pest for asking. Not cool
Eat MeJune 25, 2011Grew old waiting for coffee. When it arrived it was cold. They couldn't deliver 2 coffees at same time! When my so called yummy Mexican cousin arrived it was cold!! Unacceptable. We left in disgust.
Always order a short black, they will try it before it get's to you so you don't get crap!
Orange YogurtJune 7, 2011Cockroach in the water!! The waitresses took it LIGHTLY and LAUGHED about it! This is absurd!

"One of the best french cafés in Melbourne. Wonderful atmosphere and absolutely amazing deserts. Hazelnut chocolate cake is a must try. Don't pass through macarons as well - coconut one was fantastic."
