Best coffee on our trip. Asked which bean and I chose the Russian fudge with reccomedation from the barista.
I jusy wish it had more of a vibe. Plenty of seating but I feel its too far out of the city centre to be properly good with the atmosphere.
Amenities are decent. Other than the TP which was like a napkin dispenser of 1 ply sheets. However the toilet had a good flush. Disableds were large and easy to access and they even had their own spray for those smellier visitors. Good touch.

I’m not a coffee expert, but I could tell their coffee was something special—it was so good! The interior was really nice, and they also sell heaps of different coffee-related items. It’s a great spot for a date or just to chill with friends.

Our favourite coffee for the trip! 💯
The friendly staff helped made the experience great, we ended up leaving with 4 bags of beans/grounded coffee, and 3 cups of coffee! We even got a recommendation from them of our own country’s coffee spot, one that we will be sure to try out in the next few weekends 👍🏻
☕ their house blend flat white was great, wasn’t bitter and had a good after taste - which triggered a wow and therefore some coffee bags for our friends as souvenirs. The mocha however, was alright, a little too chocolatey and probably meant for chocolate drinkers with minimal coffee notes.
🍰 the loaf of banana cake on display also looked very tempting, which prompted us to get one since there’s no brunch food other than bagels - and it turned out really great, especially those bits on the corners with the great texture!
Overall it’s a spot with a really good vibe despite it’s slightly off centre location, we sat there for more than an hour though we could have stayed longer if not for a flight to catch - definitely highly recommended!

I visited this coffee shop twice and I was very pleased both times by the pourover. The first time was a unique natural processed Kenyan. The second time was the Indonesia Argopuro Java anaerobic natural. They were both light roasts.
The two baristas were friendly. I learned about the double bloom technique for brewing very freshly roasted coffee. Thank you!

Located on Fitzgerald Street. Has a semi-industrial interior that is very cool! Wide range of coffees available, and the staff seem only too pleased to tell you about what they have available. I can't attest to the coffees (don't drink the stuff!) but my companions said the coffees were really great. Me? I had a hot choc, and normally I am disappointed with them - too sweet, almost clawing... But this was probably the best hot chocolate I have had in some time. Great atmosphere, great staff. Go there!
