Market Land Coffee, we all know their coffee is impeccable..though I could without the sass from…read moreCustomer Service Rep at the counter and a less confusing bin situation. Unless there is a crisis of some sort I always order and have for some time ordered a 'double ristretto soy latte' yes this this sounds obnoxious and like I'm an absolute yuppie, but ristretto tastes better- seriously try it. Anyway, I asked for this at the busy counter, people behind me, it was hectic and everyone seemed to be in a hurry. The gentleman questions my order, not what it is as is usually the case, rather he recommended I not have the extra shot nor ristretto as their mix is strong. I advised him I was aware and it was fine and he questioned this, we then entered into a very passive aggressive conversation about whether I could handle the strength. Feeling uncomfortable holding up the line I just asked him to give me what he thought was best, I was very frustrated- I hadn't had my morning coffee. Seeking a boost of sugar which I never put into my ristretto but this bland weak latte needed, I made my way over to the table of lids, spoons, sugar etc. very confusing indeed was the storage of the dirty and clean spoons! The clean spoons (stirring stick) are in a bin shaped ceramic thing and the dirty spoons are in a matching ceramic cup, with the dirty ends down- you know I picked the wrong container. Gross. I don't know. It was actually a very upsetting time. Okay, arguably they have the best beans but does this mean they can skimp on service?

There's a smell that accompanies a good coffee shop. I'm sure it has something to do with the…read morein-house roasting, but I'd rather think it's due to the scent of pride the barristas emanate knowing that their coffee is about to rock your world. Either way, Market Lane is rich with just that smell. And wouldn't you know it, it's amazing. They source it, they roast it, and they go to painstakingly coffee-nerdish lengths to serve you a fantastic cup of coffee. They'll even teach you how to do it yourself if you're around on a Thursday morning at 10am, which I happened to be. Grab a seat at the communal table and enjoy. Then be upset that you don't wake up next door to the Prahran Market every morning.

Their coffee is great, from the $3 batch brew (heh) to your bog-standard latte, you can't really go wrong. Good coffee for the masses. (Did I also mention their great $3 batch brew?!)

All I can say is that the name of this coffee shop pretty much sums the place up - there is really…read moreonly standing room in here. Anyway this is basically a coffee shop, nothing more, nothing less. In fact it is one of those places where you grab your coffee and you go, there isn't any place here for you to be able to sit down. You can get a bite to eat as well, but their selection is rather small since it is predominately a coffee shop, and a coffee shop that sells coffee for you to take away. As for the coffee, it depends of what you like - it basically has a bitter taste to it, which some people like, and others don't. Also, they tend to be pretty small, which is the case with a lot of coffee shops around Melbourne. It's okay, but not fantastic.

They do ice coffee, so I will be keen to try that next time, but today I have my usual of skinny cappuccino in a take away cup. I was not disappointed. We even bought a little chocolate brownie to share. I was happy with the coffee, the brownie was $3 (I think) for just a tiny slice. Even tho it was small, it was delicious, just what I needed!

The cafe itself is a small place with a long communal table (inside and out) but the staff are knowledgable about their coffees (which are roasted here too). The coffee is superb, excellent froffy milk and a superb taste of coffee that punches through the milk with perfection. They have a very limited menu too - I tried an almond Danish and it was delicious.

They are obviously all about coffee not just selling the takeaways but also the beans and all the coffee equipment you could need to brew at home The menu is small with just a few continental type items on it but that's fine as the cafe can only seat about 10-15 people at a squeeze. It's more your pick a coffee on the way to work kinda place rather than meet for breakfast venue. The team are all pretty knowledgable about coffee and the product they are selling. The only down point I can mention is the time it takes to get a coffee. Each time I've gone in there it has take a while to get served and then waited a while for my coffee. I will keep going back though cause the coffee is pretty good

I have to admit.. I was wrong! A mate needed a coffee.. he's a coffee junkie...and he needed it now!! So we sat in this place and ordered our drinks. Staff were friendly and attentive. Didn't even let the empty water bottle sit for any length of time, so I was looking around for cameras! lol A strong coffee was ordered for him, which had him hooked for the rest of the time in Melbourne, while I ordered a hot chocolate. I was thinking it would just a standard hot chocolate in a mug, but I was greatly surprised to be handed a small cup of a quality hot chocolate. Nothing sugary or overly sweet but something that tasted like it had been squeezed out of a dark chocolate bar itself. This became my standard order every time I went in. I didn't get a chance to try the foods but really appreciated not having white sugar on the table but rapadura. Something more raw and unprocessed. So guys.. don't dismiss this place as a cookie cutter DJ's cafe. It really does have the best in mind for you.

I've lately found too many espressos to be too overpowering and acidic, and this was the perfect representation of a good one. The soy flat white was the best I've literally had in years. Perfect amount of velvety foam, perfectly frothed, lasting all the way down to the bottom of the cup without the slightest hint of a curdle. Food is pretty much toasties and cabinet food, so not great for breakfast unless you want avo toast. Good for a light lunch or snacks. Average selection of sweet things.
