Get the Koo Koo Ka Choo with cured salmon on the side!

This place is way over-hyped. Everything was good, no complaints, but there are a lot of 'good' cafes in Melbourne. Not a standout.

Great coffee selection!

Don't go at the normal 1-2pm lunch rush, you won't get a seat. Great coffee, awesome light meals, great for lunch. hard to find though...

The coffee is this place is simply incredible! The best option in South Melbourne. Try the long macciato, it's perfect!

Cool place

Great tasting food but the servings are very small for what you pay for. Almond coffee was pretty good.

You can do a home barista course with the staff from ST. ALi - highly recommended if you like coffee ;)

Best coffee in Melbourne

The location is very bad (dirty place) , the cafe is very crowded and the staff is unfriendly. Also, not suitable for well chair users nor prams because no entrance for them.

The newbie free coffee offer has expired according to one of the waitress

Don't both with the iced coffee. Served in a beer-like bottle (no ice-cream or ice included) and smaller than buying a coffee and dropped ice cubes in it! Not worth $6 #disappointing

Coffee was fantastic but it's a little dark in there.
Pavel BulowskiApril 3, 2017
Straight up overpriced. Service at level where barista is so cool that he won't even look at customers. Never coming back.

Good food and good services! :)

Coffee is nice. Food is good. It's a big cafe and I think the lighting needs to be improved. Expect to wait 10 minutes for a table on busy mornings. Table staff are not the wait staff, but they're all Read more

Amazing food and even better coffee. Try the My Mexican Cousin or the lamb pizza
Matt BoundyAugust 22, 2011
I don't buy the hype - there are places that are just as brilliant which don't get the same acknowledgement... however the Coffee & Breakfast are genuinely good.

Only decent person working here is the manager who luckily works on the floor. Staff need to cheer the f up and learn some manners.

Dutch oven w/chorizo and a siphon coffee is the only option

Food was overpriced and average and so was the service. Disinterested staff plus loud trance music had my girlfriend and i confused with what they were trying to accomplish.
