If I hadn't decided to go for a trip around Epping Plaza to actually see what was there beyond…read morewhere I usually trek I would have never found this little coffee shop stuck away in one of the corners next to an entrance. It is actually a really nice little place to grab a coffee and a bite to eat. The staff are pleasant, and the seats really comfortable. They even has a small outdoor area, but that is generally reserved for the smokers (though I'm sure they wouldn't object too loudly if a non-smoker went out there). There is also a pretty decent selection of cakes. Mind you, being on the other side of the shopping centre from where I usually wander means that I am unlikely to come here as often as I would like, but it is a nice place anyway.

If you take your love of a good coffee seriously (as I do) you will appreciate how difficult it is…read morein the Epping, Lalor & Thomastown area to find a cafe where you can find consistently great coffee and a good selection of quality food and friendly service to boot. Having moved from Thornbury where I was spoilt for choice with up to six great cafes within walking distance, all I can say is thank goodness for Goldies!

I thought that this was just another chain store but it turns out that the only one is the one in…read moreEpping. Anyway, since I visit the cinema quite regularly, and since it is across the road from the cinema, I decided to go and pay it a visit, and while I was about to simply write it off I discovered that the burgers and fries were actually surprisingly good. Okay, it is basically a burger joint but they also do shakes, so you could call it one of those retro 50s diners.

Fantastic but can't always get delivered, the best burgers around and the loaded chips are really…read moregood too, it's takes a while to make but we'll worth it

There seems to be quite a few of these places scattered around the various shopping centres in…read moreMelbourne, though I have to admit that the only one I've had any experience at is the one at Epping Plaza. I started coming here after the staff at the other coffee shop I would visit really started to annoy me, and since I would walk past this place regularly I decided to try it out. I must say that I was pretty impressed. Okay, the coffee is, well, coffee, not bad, but nothing special, however what caught my attention was not only the huge mug, but the fact that they weren't a stickler for exact change. This is definitely going to be a stop off point for coffee in the future.

This is a must for anyone spending a shopping day at Epping Plaza (Pacific Epping) or even if…read moreyou're just running in to get the milk! Jim and his knowledgable staff are always happy and quick with your orders. I always get the organic fairtrade coffee whether I'm getting takeaway (in your own keep cup or you can buy one of theirs!) or sitting down for an all-day breakfast. Their cafe style menu is great for the healthy minded or for those that need a nice slice of cake to sooth those tired shopping feet. Make sure you sign up to they're loyalty club. There are a small number of Jamaica Blue's out there, but this is the best!

Friendly staff, elegant surroundings, amazing food. no complaints :)…read more Would definitely recommend. Has a dancefloor for the kids
