    A very lukewarm reception. It may be table service but waiting staff could hardly be seen. Coffee was okay only although I expected more. It is a nicely set up cafe and seemed popular.

    Really cute cafe to enjoy a nice coffee or milkshake. Wide variety of vegan options - although be warned, when you order a burger, it comes with a side of ‘crisps’ rather than hot chips 😅 All in all a lovely experience, friendly staff and cute atmosphere.

    Lovely cafe with a impressive view of their coffee roaster and shelves of coffee beans and related tools/books for sale. Their coffee is excellent and their breakfast were delicious.

    Cozy and lively place. Nice natural light and seating area. Great coffee roasted at the same place. Can be a bit noisy when roasting, but smells really nice.

    Very nice looking cafe, I enjoyed looking around the place. The coffee and smoothies here are amazing but the cake I had was dry as cardboard. The service was great and they were very accommodating when it came to my bub.

    Discovered this adorable little hidden cafe today and I am for sure impressed. Very cozy and unique place, bagel was yummy and my iced choc was splendid. Will be back again for sure, thanks!

    Vegan options are available and we always appreciate that! It's a bit pricey but it was good. We went for the acai bowl bit wasn't listed on the menu anymore 💔 We had a black bean burger and avo on toast they both were good, as well as the chai tea, delicious! We would come back and recommend this place!

    We recently had breakfast at Little Things Cafe, a social-enterprise cafe where all profits go towards World Vision Australia. Diners will need to get there early to secure some of its tasty bagels from the display cabinet. I ordered the Burd Eggs on Sourdough, and was mistakenly served poached eggs instead of fried. The poached eggs were fortunately cooked to perfection. 👌The side of chorizo ragout (ragù) was however, a bit underwhelming and probably not a side that I'll order again. It was otherwise a solid breakfast and a great option for coffee lovers.

    One of the best coffee in the town ! I had the cold drip which taste absolutely amazing, 10 out of 10 ! Smells and tastes good. I am not a bagel lover but their halloumi bagel is tasty and filling 👍🏻👍🏻 Also love how they contribute to the charity - 100% of their profit fund the life changing work of World Vision Australia. Definitely a place to revisit :)

    Food is clean and fresh, coffee is a nice roast and baristas know what they are doing, fresh OJ is beautiful, staff are young, friendly, helpful and easy going, and the interior is comfy and inviting with much space and well selected details. In short, it’s a nice easy going space with good quality food and a caring team. The little things count, and these guys are doing a brilliant job all around.

    Got takeaway here. The flat white was good, very smooth and well brewed and beans were just strong enough to give it that good Melbourne coffee taste. Coffee could’ve been hotter. The rose beetroot quite weird and didn’t like it. Would like to try their food one day

    Not sure. Food didn’t meet the expectations. I found this place through reviews but wasn’t worth it. The LTC breakfast skillet was very disappointing. The eggs were too cooked, bread was just thin cut white bread (not sourdough as the menu says), too much cheese and not enough flavour. The food also took more than 40minutes. Their matcha also comes in a super small cup and the taste is bland.

    Definitely a great find! Simple but good food with great coffee to match. The decor is super inviting as are the staff. Great drinks options, will be back for the snickers smoothie. Rose latte was good but probably wouldn't order it again as it wasn't to my taste. Highly recommend!

    Food is visually appealing, but everything in the display cases was stale, and the made to order eggs were pretty poor. Nice environment and friendly staff. Coffee was surprisingly average given that it's situated opposite a warehouse wholesaler.

    Fantastic cafe with great coffee and delicious food. The staff were very kind too to kindly switch the bread from standard to gluten free after I forgot to request it due to dietary requirements (ceoliac) Will definitely go back 😋

    This cafe is a haven for coffee enthusiasts! The rich aroma of freshly brewed beans fills the air, creating a cozy atmosphere. The baristas' expertise shines in every cup, delivering robust and flavorful coffees. A perfect spot to savor your favorite brew and indulge in a moment of caffeinated bliss.

    I don't normally do reviews but here it goes after today's experience. Great coffee and industrial vibes but that's all. Had breakfast here today and waited 45 minutes for eggs on toast, when we asked where it was the waitress quickly looked through her order book and realised it wasn't put in the system. No acknowledgement about forgetting our order just said wait another 5 minutes, which turned into 10. Poached eggs and toast were over done and I'd say poor value for money. Sadly won't be back here again.

    Lovely little place, though easy to miss it from the street! Relaxed atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff, excellent coffee and perfect poached eggs! Great selection of gifts too.

    If you’re after a decent smoked salmon bagel and a solid cup of joe, Little Things is the spot to go. Lovely factory-turned-funky-cafe atmosphere inside, pretty wide selection of food, friendly service, and a wholesome business structure wherein all profits go back to the vital humanitarian aid and development work of World Vision Australia.

    Nice space and enjoying my early breakfast. Bakes tasty and enjoy the chai latte a lot tooo. Looking forward to be back to try out more things.

    Great ambience and friendly staff. A small menu but food was lovely with great flavours.

  • 3/5 Jumi P. 1 year ago on Google
    I like the vibe of the cafe. It has the modern and industrial look inside, but also some touches of green with it. Inside the cafe, it has the coffee roasting equipment at the back. We ordered the eggs on toast with smoked salmon added. It was okay, but not much cooking is required for fried eggs and smoked salmon anyway, so it was as expected. We also had a Feel good burger. I felt the serving sizes of the food seemed a bit too small. I would rather pay more for a decent sized meal. The burger did not come with any sides, we literally received a burger on the plate. The taste was average, I do not recall it being very flavoursome or remarkable. I might come here for coffee again, but to be honest, there are so many other cafes around to try...

    coffee is good. Flat white and soy latte are all good. Food is very average Combination Slider Bun( salmon and avocado paste very average) portion quite small… Poke bowl ( noddles too soggy )

    We just had coffee and it was really good. Very flavoursome coffee, hot enough and just a little fluff on top. It was perfect. Definitely will be back. The food also looked very appetizing.

  • 4/5 Bo C. 1 year ago on Google
    I kind of like the vibe that this cafe has: industrial style with a touch of contemporary simplicity. Coffee is fairly good as per our taste and the waffle we ordered is not too sweet which is perfect for us. 4.1-4.2 stars on my rating system.
