A close friend told me about Cottle On Coventry in South Melbourne, not just a cafe but also a roastery that roasts and blends coffee beans from around the world and as well as to cafes in Melbourne, supplies its artisan coffee throughout Australia and internationally. A few weeks back now we decided to try the cafe. The cafe overall is quite small but the coffee and atmosphere were great and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

This place is one of our favourite coffee in Melbourne. They also offer a combo small coffee and piadina (chicken and spinach with alioli my best) by 12$. The flavour of the coffee is incredible. We ordered a smash avo with 2 poached eggs some time ago and it was delicious. You can buy also coffee beans from different countries to make your own home made coffee. I love this place. Very jummy food

This place is great, the big thing was being greeted by friendly staff. Its a place that you can hide away and enjoy the wonderful difference types of coffee ,and try each one if you want. We bought the one the they served ,so good. This is now on our list to have a great coffee and yummy cakes. We rated it 10/10. See my photos

Nice coffee and cake for a relaxing quiet time with friend.

Love this place. Great for specialty coffee and a good, relatively cheap feed. Food bang for buck remains unmatched here. The avo on toast gives you so much value and is seriously delicious. Highly recommend.

I was a bit surprised by the lack of line walking into this cafe because it was great! The staff were friendly, you could buy coffee from a wide range of different blends, they had coffee syrups and milk varieties, they sold food and high end luxury products such as coffee makers and Belgium Easter eggs and the layout had an amazing feel to it (with a place to wait at a table with a newspaper for takeaway coffees)! The price was very affordable for my coffee that had a syrup and oat milk and the coffee to syrup mix was delicious. I would like the option for larger sizes and the oat milk to be a bit thicker, but I’ll certainly be back!

Came in here with my brother as we were missing the funnel out of a coffee pot. We received the most incredible service. Can’t believe what a great experience it was to come into this store. They also gave us some really helpful tips on how to make the coffee in the pot. Definitely recommend, the staff here are so helpful.

Very nice place and has a large variety of coffee beans. I enjoyed my flat white. Good place if you look for coffee gadgets.

Great coffee, best hot chocolate in South Melbourne. You can buy coffee related merchandise at a reasonable price including in-store roasted coffee beans. There are many great coffees in South Melbourne and this is one of them.

They are more of wholesalers but they do serve a good cuppa ☕️ they do sell coffee related equipment as well.

Lovely house roasted coffee with plenty of work visible from shop. Wide selection of products including machines, gadgets & gifts.

Let’s make this a straightforward no bs review Good coffee ✅ Great food ✅ Friendly staff✅ Good vibes ✅ Dog friendly ✅ All this just across SM market. This to me is a perfect weekend plan. Stay gold cottle & team

Been going here for three years and the coffee is my favourite. We got barked at last week after buying coffee and eating a croissant from somewhere else. After telling the barista today that he put a sugar in my coffee and another staff member put a sugar in he cracked it threw the coffee in the sink and then threw the attitude. Your coffee is amazing but I’ll never go back or take friends. .

Nice little coffee place for meet up and catch up. Friendly staff and nice ambience. Very near, short walk to South Melbourne Market too.

Great coffee, friendly service, tasty food. A hidden gem which means you don't have to wait too long for your coffee! Highly recommended :)

I have ordered a strong extra hot flatwhite, it came weak and just warm! The place is neat and clean tho and the service was quick

Great coffee and great atmosphere.

This is the right place to hang out on the weekend.. If you want to enjoy the atmosphere of Melbourne in 1900.. you should come here. Take the outdoor seatings.. you will feel calm and relax.. while enjoy nice coffee.. and chat with friends or family.

Very slow staff, without any simple standard services. Bread comes in a dish, and vegimate was in side same dish as bread. We ask to replace the vegimate into a separate tiny bowl. The table we set wasn't clean, the bread crumble was all around it, and nobody came to clean it. For God sick a soup of the day have takes how long to deliver...? Half an hour...? Does this place even have a manager..? No to low and bad services.

Had scrambled eggs with toast. Fluffy eggs, bread nicely toasted but not enough butter given. Apart from that very pleasant. Price wise I thought was reasonable. Scrambled eggs,fried eggs, latte and cold drink $33

Warm place for a windy weather! Great coffee!

Very tasty creative breakfast. Great cofee

Went here a little before closing so the cafe was quiet. Atmosphere is lovely, very rustic and aesthetically pleasing. The baristas were very welcoming and friendly! I had a flourless chocolate brownie and my friend had banana bread, the brownie was delicious and my friend housed down the banana bread so I'll assume she enjoyed it. Had a great experience, would recommend!

Best coffee in melb❤️ Just tried first time today morning nd its awesome Very welcoming staff

Great coffee and customer service. We usually buy our coffee beans here.

The best value roast coffee beans you can get at Melbourne city.

I’ve been trying to find the best chai latte in south Melbourne and have now tried 28 different places and so far this one is the best, not only does it taste the best but the price is quite good compared to most places

Amazing coffee store in South Melbourne. I can't count how many times I visited hepe.

Wonderful store roasted coffee and friendly staff. Love supporting local cafes - better than the famous “chains” that is popping up around South Melbourne~ Prices are also most reasonable in the area - and that includes the coffee accessories. I bought the Moka pot, and they have me 250g of free coffee beans along with it!

One of the best coffees around. Great staff. All nice people

I had the best double espresso ever! I think this place is why Melbourne has the reputation of being coffee experts, it really topped off a great trip to Melbourne
