    Good coffee. Very rushed service as it’s very high traffic. But pretty good!

    We came here twice in two days. The first time the coffee was good but the second time we couldn't even finish it. Very inconsistent standard! Plenty of better (and more reliable) places in Melbourne so would not recommend it.

    It's not my favorite one.. Not so bad, but I didn't taste any flavor. Another same cafe near QV was much better for me.

    Love this cafe. Lovely staff and coffee. It had little cute hideouts where you can sit within the cafe or you can sit outside. Has a mural on the wall beside it where you can take pictures to resemble an Angel. Only bad thing is the location. Is love this cafe more of our was a cafe on the street, as Melbourne Central food court is a disgraceful mess filled with misbehaving school kids.

    I was attended by Shawn and had a a decaf Mocha and a banana bread. Mocha delivers strenght and volume. Chocolate flavour not intrusive with the coffee. Nice place.

    One of the rare places that does Guatamala blend and brown sugar. 10/10 will go again. Small size is too small though.

    So here’s my story. I ordered a small strong flat white and the guy after me ordered a large flat white. When the small strong coffee was ready at the window I took it, but the guy after me insisted it was his β€œlarge flat white”. The barista girl, without asking anything, took the coffee from my hand, handed it over to that guy and asked me to wait. The guy left. Then there came the large one (non strong flat white) and she put it in my hand telling me it was what I ordered. I wanted to just laugh it off but I couldn’t. Maybe next time I’ll ask for a receipt. Or I just won’t go there any more. The 2 stars are for the service the large flat white guy got.

    Amazing coffee! Staff were warm and friendly Was so busy, any free table was dirty

  • 5/5 Terry C. 4 years ago on Google β€’ 175 reviews
    Nice coffee place just of the food court area of Melbourne Central. The coffee is pretty good for a shopping centre

  • 5/5 Adrian A. 5 years ago on Google β€’ 143 reviews
    Has always been a favourite of mine. The coffee is a dark roast (house blend) and im normally a soy drinker and it's yum

    Excellent coffee! This is a must for coffee lovers, I was able to spot a SCAA color table, they take very serious the coffee, and guess what? It is cheap! Two coffees even with milk + a cake only $10, will come again!

  • 4/5 Umidakhon B. 4 years ago on Google β€’ 53 reviews
    I visited this place to meet some friends. We loved it! Very nice place to sit and chitchat. We enjoyed the coffee, and the really yummy pastry. But, the price a bit disappointed us as it's a bit high.

    Great coffee. Worth a try.

  • 1/5 Michelle B. 4 years ago on Google
    Only has disposable cups even when sitting at the cafe. So bad for the environment.

  • 4/5 Paul S. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice

  • 5/5 Jimmy F. 4 years ago on Google
    Iced coffee was good but the cakes and slices were AMAZING!

  • 5/5 Kirtana B. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing and that staff are seriously lovely. Best cafe made chai I have had in Melbourne (made from the leaves, not powdered). Plus they have student discounts. Thanks for a positive experience to start the day guys!!!

    Great coffee and such friendly staff

  • 2/5 Goran N. 5 years ago on Google
    Slow service

  • 2/5 Michael 4 years ago on Google
    La Marzocco machine, sensory lab beans, and yet they manage to over extract it and basically boil the milk. Borderline undrinkable, definitely not fit enough to be sold in Melbourne

  • 5/5 Richard L. 4 years ago on Google
    Favourite cafe, great coffee, good staff, shame it has been closed for the past few days.

  • 5/5 Nicholas F. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Claire b. 4 years ago on Google
    Incredibly smooth latte

  • 5/5 Laura N. 4 years ago on Google
    Love this place. Great coffee, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere

  • 3/5 Yen K. 4 years ago on Google
    Wrong information. Closes at 5pm. Not 6pm.... wasted my time

  • 5/5 Jason L. 5 years ago on Google
    Great coffee and great vibe. Staff are friendly and know how to make a good latte! It's in the Melbourne Central food court so can be a bit crowded and loud, but if you head behind the counters (through the retail shop) you'll find some cosy seating.

  • 5/5 Roderick E. 4 years ago on Google
    One of our favourite walks in Victor. Well designed. Plenty of natural wildlife including frogs & the obligatory bloody seagulls. Worth a stroll.

  • 5/5 Justin A. 8 years ago on Google
    A great atmosphere admist the hustle and bustle of QV. The coffee menu is great for coffee lovers out there.

  • 4/5 Tom H. 4 years ago on Google

    Great concept, great taste

  • 5/5 Edmund C. 4 years ago on Google
    Back when plantation was still here, they were pretty solid. Good coffee, good pastries and friendly staff. TOO BAD THEY CLOSED DOWN. Yes, they're now gone and the spot has been taken over by sensory lab. Consider yourself informed.

  • 4/5 Daniel J. 4 years ago on Google
    Quite friendly staff and a nice place for a cup of coffee

  • 5/5 Ravishan F. 4 years ago on Google
    The croissants here are really fluffy and fresh

  • 5/5 Korrbzz S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great tasting coffee, great folk & a great spot to set up early if you're one that works on the go. Even a few little nooks to hide away inside ??

  • 3/5 Abdullah G. 4 years ago on Google
    Good coffee bad service

  • 1/5 abir i. 4 years ago on Google
    Worst coffee in melbourne central. You'll be better off going to starbucks.

  • 5/5 Victor L. 4 years ago on Google
    Great coffee in a busy environment...

  • 2/5 Hardik B. 4 years ago on Google
    Overpriced cafe when several better and cheaper options are available near by. Unlikely to visit again.

  • 3/5 Pradhnya T. 4 years ago on Google
    Why did you remove the sofas?

  • 5/5 Denise C. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious cakes and pastries, great staff and very courteous! My iced coffee was fantastic.

  • 2/5 Ryan M. 4 years ago on Google
    Tofee bourbon cupcake... dry as a cardboard ? Coffee is ok i suppose

  • 5/5 David S. 4 years ago on Google
    If you want decent coffee even on a Sunday and also have a spot to sit. Many cafes in Melbourne are so busy and tight you don’t stand a chance, plantation coffee is the reliable to go option.

  • 4/5 Ron W. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 talal a. 4 years ago on Google
