    I had a take away coffee from here. The service was tricky. I asked for a piccolo latte 3 times! It was early in the morning lol. My piccolo was good but for $4 it wasn't cheap. Previous review May 2019 - Grabbed a coffee from here. This is a new cafe (well I have haven’t seen it before) in a grey old building walking towards Little Collins Street. My strong skinny latte was unfortunately for me... yes ... almost too hot to hold on my hand. Gosh. I am seriously considering asking for a warm to hot coffee or not extra hot please lol There was some good milk froth, and the service was friendly. I’d happily go back but I’d be very specific about he temp of my coffee next time hahaha

    Cozy and fancy, what a great combination. I was passing through collin street and found this very nice coffee shop. Nice vibes, nice music and the most important: super great coffee, “Melbournian” coffee quality 👏 They also have a variety of treats and pastries.

    Great atmosphere in this small coffee shop, all the employees were very friendly, seemed like they knew a lot of regular customers. I ordered and received my coffee quickly and it tasted great. I look forward to returning.

    Some cafes make your day easier. Went to Culpa Espresso today and asked for gluten-free option. No problem for Moushy who suggested I choose any of their bagel combos and I could have it on gluten-free bread. Perfect! Delicious and the hot chocolate with lactose-free milk hit the spot. Friendly service and lovely clean environment.

    I can’t go a day without my culpa coffee, or a weekend brunch their food. The quality of everything is exceptional and the customer service is better than I’ve ever experienced.

    Had a flat white there. Good coffee, great milk. The milk they frothed has a very good mouth feel to it. AUD$4 for small size coffee.

    Unbelievable coffee! I’m impressed with the effort this cafe has gone into to keep this cafe pumping! Great coffee, great service and a happy vibe behind the counter. The gentlemen always makes sure that all his customers leave smiling or with laughter. Job well done Culpa Team 👍

    Normally get a coffee to go, this morning decided to have breakfast, arrived at 9.00 a m and sat down waiting for a menu. 3 groups came in over the next 15mins and were served immediately while I am still sitting waiting and waiting. After 20 mins I just got up and left. You have lost me now. Went to Melton Pho for food instead.

    Like srsly this people what they saying the coffee its expensive like are you serious??? I dont know how much of a coffee drinkers are you but if any of you can find better coffee in Melbourne for that price i will shout you all I rather pay 5 bucks for a coffee what is amaizing and i will actually finish it rather then paying less money for coffee what i will chuck it in the bin after the first taste!!! Good on you mate!!!! Keep up the best coffee in Melbourne!!!

    This is one gutsy coffee shop to open next to Patricia’s, but you know what? They didn’t disappoint at all, went here during lockdown a couple of times and all I can say is they have the most consistent baristas when it comes to texturing milk. Knowing how competitive the melbourne scene is, this one can go toe to toe with the best in melbourne!

  • 5/5 Jeff L. 2 years ago on Google
    I would probably say that this coffee shop is a must for coffee lovers! The service is amazing, and the variety of coffee served in the ambiance is very satisfying. If you like your coffee shops, then this is a must-visit! We will be back again!
