Favourite cafe in Melbourne. Consistently delicious coffee, very reasonably priced food, great music always, ambience made for productivity (plus free wifi), the staff don’t mind if you sit in there for hours getting work done, and speaking of staff they are always courteous and easy to deal with. Homely and wonderful.

Well made long black, perfect crema on top served by friendly staff. One of the most reasonably priced cafes in North Melbourne. Finally a full meal with coffee that doesn’t cost over $20 :) Focus is clearly on the coffee with a mini-roaster in the back and simple brick interior.

Great little cafe, good to get some work done alongside some delicious, well priced brunch and quality coffee. All the food looked so delicious it was hard to choose! But I recommend the fruit toast if on a budget..
