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.

This is a convenient little place for all the new apartment buildings in the area. It has kind of a…read moreback alley warehouse feel to it (it is in a warehouse). 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

Everything you love about the other stores you can expect here, including: - Seasonal coffee made with the utmost care - Sweet interior design - Pleasant staff - Great music - Freshly roasted beans to take home. The Faraday Street store is more of a "grab and go" (you can even roll up on your bike at the window and now have to dismount!) but there's one or two spots to perch if you'd rather drink your brew from a real cup instead of paper. love love love.

I'd love it if they had a bigger space with some tables and maybe a kitchen, but the set up they've got allows for 100% concentration on coffee, and I can't snub my nose at that. Definitely hit this place up for a perfect cup of Joe and a charming chat with some genuinely kind Aussies.

I generally don't get to go down to the Docklands precinct all that often, namely because there…read morereally doesn't seem to be all that much there to entice me. However, one morning I decided to pay a visit to this cafe namely for some breakfast. Well, the chilli eggs ended up being pretty awesome, and the atmosphere wasn't bad either, despite the fact that the buildings around here are all pretty new. Still, as a place to grab some breakfast this place does happen to be pretty awesome, and I definitely would make an effort to visit this place again. Oh, and the tea wasn't bad either.

I caught up here with a fellow yelper on a Friday lunchtime (located close to a tram stop on…read moreCollins St), De Mad Hatter is easily accessible. It does takeaway and dine in - take away options include select 1,2, or 3 dishes whereas with the dine-in option you are forced to order three dishes for $12. They also do soups, coffees, sweets, risotto and pasta. Water is self-service. Nice seating area. Food is served at room temperature. I got the mexican chicken, singapore fried rice and fried tofu salad Each dish was bland. the mexican chicken was dry roast chicken with no flavours - just slightly watery. The fried tofu was just fried tofu. And the singapore fried rice was quite soggy, bulbous rice. Company was great. Tables are cleared quickly. Good for groups and perhaps as my colleague advised, good for coffee and cake but that's it!

I stopped by here after class to treat myself to a nice meal. I always see people sitting outside,…read moreso I figured that it was a great place. From the outside, it looks VERY run-down and old, but I guess it contributes to the style. It's old-looking, but very clean and trendy. Food: They have an alright variety of things on their menu (which is displayed outside on chalkboard) - mainly paninis and a few breakfast choices all at reasonable prices. I'm not a huge panini fan, so I went with the Smoked Salmon Breakfast which consisted of Smoked Salmon, Egg, Capers, Rocket Salad, and a side of buttered bread. It was pretty good, but still had room for improvement. The Salmon was a bit rough in texture and took quite a while to arrive. The bread was wayy overcooked, dark, and too roasted for my tastes. Judging by the food quality alone, this place would probably get 3 stars. However, 1 star off because there really was no satisfaction. The portion was small, and not that filling so I spent over 12 dollars and still felt really hungry. Ways they can improve: ~ Larger portions, or at least more filling meals so it could be worth the value. Overall, this is a nice hip place, but judging by the food quality I probably wouldn't be returning.

Located just across the road from the main…read moreMelbourne University buildings in the ground floor of a nice Carlton terrace house, this cafe has been dishing up affordable and tasty brunch and lunch for years. Coffee is decent (nowhere in Carlton survives this long with bad coffee) and the meals are usually on the healthy and filling side. Think lots of sandwiches, things with eggs etc. There is always a nice array of cakes too which makes me happy. On warm days you can sit out front and people watch, there are some snug corners inside to hide away in too. Nice place to catchup with friends, do a little bit of work or read a book.

You will not be disappointed by the menu options and you will be served by very friendly wait staff. My favourites here are the chicken spaghettini, chicken and avocado foccacia (ask them to add some mushroom) & the lamb curry with roti. If you are there for breakfast you can not go past pancakes or a hashbrown (homemade hashbrown) breakfast. Make sure you if you are meeting friends that one friend gets there early to grab a table, Indulgence gets so busy that they overflow to the outside of the cafe and even to tables in the middle of the shopping centre....Actually now that I type that...it's probably better if you do get a seat outside or inside the shopping centre because if you stare at the cakes long enough you will lose all self control. They also have a Movenpick ice cream freezer which is a great little touch and has a big crowd around it during summer.
