I have no idea what all the fuss is about here. To me, this seems like an excellent example of style over substance, or rather talking a lot about coffee using lots of buzzwords and generating a totally undeserved reputation. I ordered a double ristr...Read more

Oh. My. God. That Synesso machine is amazing. If I was ever to make love to an inanimate object, it would be that machine. Six groups of shiny chrome, steel and wonderment.

Fantastic new cafe from some ex-St. Ali guys. Only been open for about a month but the food is terrific and the coffee has been flawless so far. My new regular place in South Melbourne, preferred over St. Ali and probably in my Top 5 cafes in Melbour...Read more

Delicious secret of a place this, absolutely love it. The decor is really something interesting and hard to describe, something like your mum's old tea-room (what's a tea-room? no idea, it just sprang to mind) or perhaps an extrapolated doll's house ...Read more

I believe the coffee here used to be more consistently awesome back in the day, since it changed hands, quality has gone down a few notches. It's still pretty decent, but there is now better coffee in Brunswick (across the road at Tre Espresso for on...Read more

My review would have been much better if I had written after the first time I visited and before the second time. The first time, the coffee was super, the second time the 3/4 Latte I ordered looked like a messed up Long Machiatto, it was over-extrac...Read more

One of the best cafes in the CBD for sure, the guys at Switch know how to get the most out of the Supreme blend they use. Their set of toasties is also pretty delish, not really substantial but can really hit the spot when you're in the mood. The bul...Read more

Atomica beans and Synesso machines not withstanding, the coffee here is decidedly average. Don't get me wrong, it's not the sort of slop you can expect at your average Vittoria cafe (hello Brunetti!) but these guys should do better. My strong lattes ...Read more1 | 2
