Many people must agree as there is a steady stream of coffee addicts before work, at morning tea and afternoon tea. Tea is more my thing though and they do loose leaf here in pots. You can even have a high tea if you wish. My tip is to snag the green couches by the window for some comfort with your tea. Service is friendly and energetic. The team even remember your order if you are a regular. There is also a loyalty card system. The window display has some great looking pre made options for lunch or something sweet to go with your caffeine hit.

Excellent 5 Senses coffee can be found in this cafe by Anstey Station…read more Nice and spacey, not too loud and free wifi on offer makes it a great place to pull up a chair and grab a coffee. Food wise, if it's huge portions you're craving then your hunger will be satisfied here. From giant slabs of toast to overloaded bagels and burgers, they don't skimp. Unfortunately they are also pretty heavy handed on the salad dressing, and they put a side salad alongside every dish whether you order it or not (even simple toast orders). This leaves all bread items pretty soggy. Worth seeking out for the coffee or if you have a large appetite that needs to be filled with bread!

Set alongside the Anstey train station it's easy to cycle on by. Don't. Get off your Lycra clad butt, put down the protein bar and take 5mins to enjoy 5Senses coffee. The space is open, bright and oozes a sophisticated steam punk decor. Lots of raw materials and quirky feature pieces. The staff here are anything but hipster. Polite, efficient and listening to some relaxing tunes. Topped off with free wifi and no judgement if you byo work related device. A fairly typical Brunswick menu offers something for everyone. Stay a minute, stay an hour or all day. You'll soon feel at home here.

Actually, I vaguely remember going to a cafe in the area years ago, though I suspect that even if it was this one, it was probably the one that was here before this one appeared. Anyway, I rather liked it. It certainly did meet the standards of what I look for in the Melbourne cafe, particularly since it is located down a side street. So, the meal was good, the tea was good, and the service was good, so that should pretty much tell you everything.

The ricotta pancakes made a killer late breakfast, and the rest of their range of breakfast/brunch & snack/lunch foods looked tasty (I especially noted an organic beef burger on their lunch specials). The interior is well laid-out with a couple of long communal tables and plenty of little 2-to-4 person settings. I love that there's room for a few comfy double-couch groups, and a sweet little sitting area out the back. There are tables out the front on the footpath too. The vibe is pitch-perfect Brunswick: quiet indie folk piped throughout, comfortable, relaxed. We dropped by at the change of shift between breakfast and lunch customers: quiet for a Saturday but I'm wildly happy to have a cafe within walking range where the odds of getting a table are good. Places like this are increasingly rare in Brunswick; worth their weight in gold. The staff were super friendly, the service was warm and efficient. I'm disappointed to see that some of Brunswick's Yummy Mummy Brigade have posted very negative reviews elsewhere on the web - looks to me like the cafe owners have acted on behalf of their patrons so that the space can be fairly shared by all. All the more reason for me to give these people my custom! When this cafe re-opens after it's 2011/2012 Christmas break, please pay them a visit and ensure that West Brunswick holds on to a great cafe.

I'm very keen to go back to give that a try.

It wasn't too bad. People were coming back for more as the ingredients hit the mark and the focaccia's did take some punch; although there was a slightly bland aftertaste. The vegetarian varieties were the best with just the right amount of eggplant, carrot, sun-dried tomato and pesto included with quality soft drinks on offer. I cannot comment on their coffee or other menu items as sandwiches (focaccia's) were served as refreshments. I cannot get over how soft, dense and fresh the turkish bread was to accompany those delicious and appropriate fillings. The servings overall tended to accompany the decor of the elegant 20th century function room which reminds you of elegant tea parties, even though the energy in the room was quite dim. This could have been why people were helping themselves to seconds more often; and/or the subject matter discussed at this convention could have made us all hungrier than anticipated. A great place, however I am not too fussed to try any other items on the menu as there is a lot to appreciate in Melbourne.

I loved their interior design and the color and how bright the inside was. Their food also looks very hip (definitely instagram worthy)! So by its look, this place deserves five-stars. However in terms of taste, I wasn't really amazed at this location. Their salmon was a bit too salty and chilli egg was aight. (Not a fan of mushy texture- didn't have much flavor). I liked their seasame latte though. Price is average considered in Melbourne and their service was good.

I'd mark this as one of the best brunch spots in CBD. The quality is average but the things they put together are unheard of and I like that new experience.

I was let down this time. Their vegan options had dwindled to just one and we had to 'make your own' to put together a meal which turned out extremely expensive for what we got. The vegan option was crumpets with spread. As we were hungry we opted for toast with the sides of avocado, hash brown, mushrooms and tomato. This came to the hefty sum of $22! (I'm certain we were charged for the eggs even though we didn't order them) The meal it self was tasty! I couldn't help wishing for lemon with the avocado but the hash brown was so delicious! The service was great and friendly and the place is so adorable. There was a very long wait on food, which we were fine with and they had set our expectations early. There also seemed to be a bit of a wasp problem so we needed to move inside. I love the outside tables on what is a quiet spot on queensberry st, so I hope they deal with the wasps somehow. It was like watching a comedy sketch, everyone flapping them away or running about then sitting down again. Overall, it was too expensive for such a basic meal and took way too long to come out considering there was still empty tables. Order the set meals and you will probably have a much better experience!
