Check Kicco Espresso doesn't stand out in my mind for getting to know customers or doing anything unusually good or bad with their coffee and food but they are a welcome addition to Pirie St. Kicco pride themself on wholesale supply as well as serving up coffees from this new store and their original one in Glenelg. It is a good takeaway or stop off for a quick lunch spot, serving up foccacias, gelati, cold and hot drinks in a big and brightly yellow coloured environment. The place looks like the inside of a bee and I like it!

The barista understood the strange Perth habit of a Long Macchiato - which was great to hear. I grabbed the granola, which was balanced and not too sweet. The chunky clusters of oat, walnut, almond, apricot, and cranberry was crunchy yet chewy - the baked nature had not taken all the moisture away. Coffee ... the real reason to drop in... This was wonderful. Smooth. Delicate but fully flavoured. Bitter sweet notes with hints of caramel. Atmosphere is relaxed and very friendly. Definitely a good way to start my day.

Ok now I've got that off my chest, this place, its breakfasts and coffees are criminally good. Select your poison from 3 different single origins for your coffee, but know that none of them are as good as their Indian Tiger Mountain. Not just because the name is ninja cool, or that it's the first engrish coffee bean I've seen in Adelaide, but because it is strong and fierce like a tiger mountain would be. The teas also are from some local field or something, but really you're not coming all this way for some flavoured water. Sit down amongst a mash up of big communal and group tables, worn couches, bench seats or up at the piano if you fancy and watch as every mother's group, young family, hipster on their bike and local wander in like zombies looking for their coffee fix of the day. Service is punctual and friendly and soon we receive our breakfasts that I had to double check the prices of because they were so big. $17 for a big breakfast and $15 for haloumi, avo and poached eggs is ridicurous. So was the actual breakfast. Perfectly cooked, gooey poached eggs atop a crunchy white piece of toast with a simple haloumi and rocket salad made for a happy Chloe. Unpretentious on every level, simple meals and smashing coffee make this place as mysterious and hidden as an Indian Tiger Mountain. Get along before it becomes endangered and overrun with hipsters.

When I heard 2 of my favourite coffee shops in Adelaide were partnering up I nearly passed out with…read moreexcitement. I began to build up in my head what such a place would be like - envisioning some kind of aurora borealis supernova of coffee amazingness. The coffee is 5 Senses and is served quickly, spot on and with latte art style (if that's your drink). It does what all 5 Senses coffee supplied shops do - deliver you a smashing good coffee every time. But being the demanding, picky Adelaidian I was raised to be I wanted more... I wish I could rock up to the counter and there would be Larry, and I'd say "Lazzzzaaaa give us your best cup o' joe for the day mate!" I would be surprsied by some new random coffee bean or roaster from San Fran I'd never heard of, or I could get my latte with a dash of whiskey or as part of a tasting plate or paired with a chocolate or tortel of the day. It is entirely my fault that this cafe hasn't lived up to my expectations and that I had such high hopes in the beginning. Please don't let that stop you dropping in here for a coffee, nibble or laptop coffice (coffee-office) session though. It has a great little atmosphere with a stack of hipster magazines that I would never read and consistently good coffee.

I am starting to feel I'm missing some magical moments when it comes to Larry & Ladd. I really want…read moreto love the store... they offer amazing milk alternatives, not only soy & coconut, but almond... which they make fresh themselves... EVERY DAMN DAY! Now that deserves kudos. I also love the fact that they are in Regent Arcade, which is jam packed with gems these days, and is still somewhat of a hidden, secret squirrel spot. But besides all these fabulous elements, I'm just not feeling it. I find the coffee blend used is quite bitter and haven't found the service to always be with a smile. Additionally, the music is quite loud, so sitting inside the store and trying to talk with friends is a bit of a challenge. All in all, I wouldn't avoid L&L completely, but if alternatives are offered I personally would probably give them a go.

I don't understand why this coffee style hasn't become popular in Adelaide, as it's really tasty. The outdoor dining experience is certainly worth experiencing, especially in nice weather.

Don't get me wrong, this is the one coffee shop smack bang in the middle of the CBD that sells bloody good coffee with Bonsoy. There are new bean blends and origins on the menu each week, it sells quirky macarons (think hot cross buns and ANZAC Day specials) and it rocks the warehouse chique atmosphere to a tee. There is a huge BUT though. While the service is quick, it has no personality or concern for the fact that you are more than a soy latte or a pour over or a piccolatte drinker. I think they can sense my anti-hipster and as a result avoid making eye contact or engaging in a smile and a conversation. There lacks a vibe, a mabo, a feel to this place that comes with a buzzing staff who make an effort to know your name, have a chat with you while waiting for coffee and greet you with a smile. But if you're happy enough to join the line of suits waiting for their cuppa joe and ingrained on who just posted a new pic of their cat on Instagram (guilty) then this is the place for you.

One medium sized table for people to chill at, and watch the do their thing. Was a very personable and fun atmosphere.

Now, it is about time Adelaide had a place like this. I would like to start this review by saying…read morethank you to Monday's for gracing our CBD with your charm, damn fine coffee and amazing service. This is something we Adelaideians have been missing out on for a long time. The décor design of the cafe is what first catches your eye. The lovely shop front windows, minimalist and simplistic store layout. I love the pipe shelving which displays different coffees that can be purchased for home. As for the brew, well there are only fine coffee to chose from. So no matter your choice, you will know that your coffee has been carefully curated. In saying that, I cannot fault any coffee I have tried here. Not only is there quality coffee, there is also a selection of beautiful teas. I tried their Oolong Tea, which was divine and high grade. It was not bitter, that is a good way to tell. Again, it is attention to detail that is making Monday's so successful. Take note of the beautiful coffee/tea cups you are drinking from. As for the service, well, the staff here are just so lovely and welcoming. Expect to feel recharged and leave with a smile when you visit Monday's on any day of the week.
