TLDR: BEST COFFEE I HAVE TASTED BY FAR: BEST GEM OF A LOCATION TO MY COMMUTE TO WORK: NO BS OR TIME WASTED: PAY FOR YOUR COFFEE AND WALK AWAY. During my early morning commutes to work and an accidental right turn out of Flinders st station. I walked past this little nook, yet I back tracked as if something was pulling me back... It was my instincts telling me to give it a try... and try I did... It is seriously no words can describe the gem of a place. I ordered my usual 1 Large Flat White Coffee with no Sugar, paid it with Paypass and just waited around they were really busy yet they were able to hold conversations with people close by. Coffee was ready, I grabbed it and held it in my hands took a quick snapshot, *exhibit a* walked up the stairs to be amazed at where I ended up. I did not drink the coffee straight away.. I just held it in my hands, it was nice and warm. Something strange about this coffee... I didn't want to drink it straight away because I was afraid it might be too hot or it might be burnt milky taste or acidic like some other places... A little time has passed by as I walked past the Walker's Doughnut shop... thinking to myself this will be my next try.... As I readied my body to drink the coffee I pursed my lips and took a sip. My eyes lit up (i'm asian btw 16:9 ratio vision) and my taste buds felt the warm flow of deliciousness filling in my mouth... the next thing I know I had no more coffee I inadvertently drank it all coffee without thinking or stopping... The right Warmth the right texture no burnt milk it just went down so easily and it'll probably go out the other way once I finish this Post. But Seriously I'm telling everyone in the office about this place just for the fact that subjectively I believe this is one of the best I've ever had in a very long time.

Good, strong, dark roast coffee but slightly slightly burnt, and relatively expensive for a hole-in-the-wall take-away only place

A simple and brilliant concept ..... Find a Basement where people have to walk pass everyday in "the Central" of the Most Livable City in the World; Flinders St Station ....no space for table & chair, no worries, it means no table service needed, setup an open counter, put in a great espresso machine, find good coffee beans and look for a gun barista with Tattoos and beards (just kidding on the last one). And a legend is born. Always very smooth, balanced and consistent Soy Latte and fruity Short Mac single origin, just great! It's one of those place that you make excuses to be on the train to go to the City.

Hole in a wall business that serves one of the best coffees in Melbourne. A large red cup represents the Cup of Truth where customers can pay and take their own change. Trust is the cornerstone philosophy behind this cafe and I think that is absolutely brilliant!

It was a bit hard for me to find this place. Because it's located an underground train near Flinders Street Station. Most of customers have ordered for takeaway because this cafe is small and especially it's quite busy in the morning. I ordered 3 coffees which are cold brew and piccolo. Both of them that I got was really nice taste and Barista was so friendly. He has a great knowledge about coffee and very kind to me. Coffee beans just come from Brazil and Ethiopia which is espresso blend as usual. Give it a shot. I think it will suit your taste hopefully!! Thanks for a wonderful coffee!!

Hidden coffee gem under Flinders Street station. Well worth the trip. Single origin options available for the coffee purists.

what a hidden gem! to think that i have lived here for 22 years and not know about this place! truly excellent coffee, guys, love it!

Insta: melbfoodie_mark YT: MelbFoodieMark ** Check them out for more food reviews in Melbourne! - A hole-in-the-wall cafe in Flinders Station. Coffee was pleasantly strong, but creamy. It had this strong bitter/acidic aftertaste which went really well together. Barista was very lively and knowledgeable. Personal favourite!

My Barista teacher recommended this Cafe shop. Hiding at the Station underpass. Even the underpass smell didn’t well. But the coffee is really good.

I've experienced coffee all over the World: Italia, Espania, Chile, Japan, Colombia, Argentina, France, Peru.....this place is easily in my top 3 in the World. Amazing! Know their coffee, how to make it perfectly and are genuine souls

Busy little place, two guys going mad with orders and a master barrister behind the coffee machine, but despite the seeming madness of the people ordering the server was polite and nice and the coffee, which I got in about 2 min, is excellent, really smooth and not a note of bitterness.

My go to coffee place in the Melbourne CBD. Perfect after getting off the train and walking to the office. The specialist coffee flavour is very unique and I love it.

A welcome sight after struggling through peak hour trains, and the coffee quality stacks up with the best!

Excellent coffee and always really fast. Definitely recommend them :)

Coffee is just ok and service is horrible, the staff is not friendly

Amazing coffee and great chit chat with the baristas. My go to place when in this part of town

Delicious meal, lovely coffee. Staff very friendly and effecient. Can't wait to go back

The only thing warmer and lovelier than the baristas is the coffee!

Smells terrible down there. Takes away from coffee and service. Definitely an experience
