👍👍 What an awesome cafe in Seaford, Melbourne. The staff are all so lovely, and were patient with my child as he selected what he wanted. They have a great selection of coffee, cakes, brunch and raw treats (too many to pick from ❤️). My little boy got a baby chino ☕️ and I loved the fact it was served...

    Ordered a couple of bags of coffee and they were delivered within a couple of hours!! I couldn't believe it!! On a Saturday during Lockdown no less! Super friendly and bloody good coffee! Do yourself a favour and get onto these guys. Awesomeness! 😊☕

    Visited this little hidden gem of a coffee shop on my way home from work yesterday on my search for new beans. Was very happy to find that not only did they offer a selection but they where roasted locally by the owner of the shop. The staff were very helpful and happy to help me make the perfect selection based on my tastes and brew method. Finished of the experience with a delicious full bodied espresso. This morning I tried the triple Brasil blend in my moka pot and I have to say it is by far the best coffee I have put through it, loved the hint of fruitiness and acid that is is usually lost in commercial roasts.

    What an awesome cafe in Seaford, Melbourne. The staff are all so lovely, and were patient with my child as he selected what he wanted. They have a great selection of coffee, cakes, brunch and raw treats (too many to pick from ❤️). My little boy got a baby chino ☕️ and I loved the fact it was served with some saltanas rather than a marshmallow. He loved it. Coffee Roasting for the People Co. have a selection of coffee beans for take home too (they do wholesale for the big orders). If you don’t have a coffee bean grinder at home, they will grind the beans for you too. Lovely to support a local Frankston area cafe, and such a happy vibe. Children are welcomed, and high chair available too.

    Great little cafe in Seaford! Coffee is fantastic, food is fresh and a looks like artwork when they serve it. Note there isn't heaps of seating and it can get busy with mums with under 5s after school drop off. So go early or after 10 if you want a quiet coffee

    Decent vibe, good coffee and the wait staff were lovely, but mircowaved eggs and microwaved bacon when you’re paying $20 (or at any price) is unacceptable. They didn’t appear to have a chef or a kitchen. We saw 1 of the 2 waitresses microwave our eggs, drown them in mayonnaise once heated up and then microwave our bacon. All behind the front counter, viewable from our seats. Pretty off putting.

    I was on the hunt for some coffee beans after sadly running out this week, I needed a local roaster as mine were with Australia Post, need I say more. I came across this cute café and had to check it out. Upon arrival I saw a swarm of folk waiting for their takeaway coffees, this had to be a good sign. I asked the friendly staff what was good, the house blend seemed to be a safe bet, they even offered to grind the beans for me. Thanks for the clarification on roast date, I'm clearly blind and have discovered it now, happy coffee addict here 🤛

    The grapevine spilled the beans about Coffee for the People, so I had to find out for myself… (Great fruit toast, by the way.)

    The family come here often on a Saturday morning for a brunch treat. We've tried lots of their bagels, breakfasts, slices and pastry offerings - such a great selection for its size. Their breads are amazing and the coffee is wonderful. The atmosphere really warm and cosy and the service is great. Get the garlic loaf!

    A great Seaford cafe to grab a coffee, cakes and a snack. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating available - which is shaded. Also have their own coffee beans which you can buy to make a coffee at home.

    A great cafe in Seaford for a lovely coffee. They even roast their own beans with a Seaford 3198 blend which is pretty cool as a local to see.

    Lovely freshly roasted coffee beans. Nice to support a Melbourne based business. They have a great subscription coffee option too. ❤️

    Absolutely solid cafe, great staff, great coffee, great food and great wait times In a suburb that’s got a lot of good cafes these days this one definitely sits at the top, will definitely be returning and recommending

    Great vibrant cafe. Obviously very popular! There were cyclists, kids, dogs, all waiting for coffees, snacks or breakfast. Very friendly, helpful service and staff. We will definitely be back.

    Frequently come here for our weekend coffee fix! Staff are lovely, coffee is great and the gingerbread men always keep the kids happy. Always seems to be busy but never have to wait too long for a coffee so it's a win win.

    A cool place to grab some freshly roasted beans. I love popping down to Coffee for the People Roasting Co in Seaford. It is the best place to get a coffee to have in or grab some beans to make a brew at home. It’s the little things that makes the experience - like the recycled take away containers made from old milk cartons. You can even grab a loaf of home made bread. Today I went in with my baby, and they brought the take away coffees out to my car for me as I couldn’t carry them on my own - now that’s service.

    So disappointing. Coffee was nice but our food order took way too long- nearly an hour. I ordered the wrap and it came with ingredients (Rosti) in it not advertised and was missing key ingredients (halloumi). My husband waited longer than I. His order came out missing bread, egg and avo as advertised. He took it back and got a new plate which was flavour-less and bland. One staff member did kindly acknowledge our wait and gave us complimentary drinks- thank you. Our experience seems out of keeping with other reviews so hopefully just a bad day or maybe new staff learning the ropes. Won’t be back.

    Great little cafe a stone throw away from my place. Staff are super friendly, recommend highly! Also coffee is amazing too!

    I had a great experience, coffee was on point, at first glance I thought that the salmon bagel was overpriced, but once I took a bite into it, I realised it was worth every penny, definitely would recommend! Bagel was so good, I didn't get a chance to take a photo 🤦

    My partner and I came in for the first time today and had some amazing coffees and delicious food for brekky. The staff were all so friendly and really created a great vibe. We’re gonna have to make weekly visits!

    It would have to be easily the best coffee in the area. Very very good. The ham, cheese and tomato croissant is a 9 out of 10. Phenomenal food.

    Great little local cafe with wonderful coffee that now morphs into groovy bar in the evenings with cocktails, beers on tap and amazing charcuterie boards. Hidden gem.

  • 4/5 Chris R. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little cafe tucked in the middle of suburbia. Not a huge selection of food but everything they had was really good. Great Coffee and friendly service. Will be back!

  • 2/5 Caroline B. 10 months ago on Google
    I liked the atmosphere. Staff friendly. Really great coffee. Disappointed with meal.

  • 5/5 Maree D. 10 months ago on Google
    Excellent tasting coffee & 'baby cinos'!! Staff are always helpful & friendly to mum's, dad's & drive-by coffee lovers. A quaint but well set up community coffee cafe with a casual, friendly atmosphere. Menu has lots of tasty, mouth watering 'gear' available! 😊

    Coffee for the People Roasting Co. Might be the best coffee shop I've visited in Australia! It is somewhat hidden because it is not in the heart of the area, yet it is adorable! With a charming production ambiance, it also serves excellent coffee. They also provide the most convenient operating hours among coffee shops, which I greatly appreciate.

    Great coffee beans. Just got the Columbian beans. Ohh what a nice coffee to have in the morning. My new daily cup. Works well in a plunger, strong flavour, good hot or iced.

  • 5/5 Georgia J. 1 year ago on Google
    Just wanted to share a recent experience with a bag of pre-ground House #2 beans. I recently found a very old (about a year from roast date) bag of espresso ground house #2 in the back of my pantry, so I gave it to my parents for their compost as I thought it would be too old to drink. Well, they've been drinking it and it is still absolutely gorgeous. Perfect extraction, great crema and tastes as good as it always does when fresh. Very happy, thanks guys, love your work! ❤

    What a great find. They where one of the few places open on a public holiday. What a gem we will be back. Great coffee, great breakfast. You can even buy some coffee beans while there

    This morning, my wife and I visited this Coffee for the People Roasting Co. for the first time (we are Balnarring VIC residents visiting Seaford VIC, AU). The outside of the cafe is nicely decorated and the inside is rather simply decorated, relaxing music was playing in the dining area, the floor is concrete but clean, the employees were really friendly and efficient, they have many coffee and tea options, a breakfast piece of bread, my medium roast coffee was delicious, there is an outdoor seating area, and the prices are reasonable.

    Great takeaway coffee, friendly staff & quality fresh beans to buy for home coffee machine.
