  Oak room, in my opinion, is the best cafe Melbourne has to offer. This claim is backed up by several observations.
  Firstly, the quality of the service is evident from the moment one walks in through the door. Not only are you greeted with a smile, but the team at Oak Room will no doubt... Read more

  Came here as it was on Beanhunters list near the top. Popped in here for a take away strong latte. What can I say! Amazing! The coffee was silky, not a hint of bitterness and the barista struck up a conversation while making the coffee! What a place, and not pretentious at all! Who would have... Read more

  I've decided to drop by this cafe during my day off with my wife because of all the good reviews. Who thought that there is a decent coffee at this part of High St?

  Nestled in the increasing pompousness that is Ashburton, i find myself in the tranquil surroundings of Oak Room. So often today you are greeted by lazy, self absorbed hipsters who spend more time adjusting themselves while groaning that another customer has bothered to creep into their 'private... Read more

  Ken has done it again! Today's sublime treat was the French Mission from Kenya. It is intensely flavoursome with hints of fruit and chocolate. Another new favourite.
  It was so wonderful I had two in a row, changing from half-flat white to magic,just so I could prolong the experience.Read more

  Oak Room is by far the best cafe in the eastern suburbs. Ken is a passionate and enthusiastic barista, who knows his coffee! The cold drip is delicious, worth the trip alone.

The coffee...much better than the last time I visited this spot. The yellow UCF cups they use and the yellow... Read more

  Perfection every time! I don't really have much more to add. Love the Cartel beans, the silky milk, the yellow cups and LM, and the friendly smile behind them. There is nothing quite like having an unassuming, passionate specialty coffee oasis just around the corner.
