Spiced Coffee Aromatic Coffee Paradise Slice Complimentary Cookie Chocolate Cake Traditional Coffee Friendly Owner Long Black Chai Latte Cappuccino
Dev Bhattacharya
Jan 18, 2026"Excellent coffee, very cool vibe inside the cafe with a wonderful aroma. Staff also super friendly, accidentally gave the wrong amount by a couple dollars less and he said it was OK and was more interested to hear that we enjoyed the taste. (Obviously paid the difference, but you can tell it is run by caring people!)"

Nov 30, 2025"Really nice service! Had a cappuccino which tasted better than maybe 75% of cafés I've been in! The owner (?) offered us some sort of coffee beans extract next time we go there but it was my last day in Melbourne and had a long drive ahead of me. When he found out he insisted for my friend and I to sit and taste it. So we did. Can't recall what it was exactly, but it was a strong tasting short black with a mix of plant. Well done! Whenever I am in back near Footscray, I'll try and swing by again."
