    I thought I would try a short black from this cafe considering it had some decent reviews. I'm not sure what I'm missing, but I found the coffee to be lacking at best. It may have been due to several variables, and possibly the supreme blend from Allpress just does not suit my palate.

    11:30 on a Saturday and this place (as with everywhere else on Carlisle) is packed. With it's mix of op shop and urban vibes, las chicas seems to exude a playful character which draws people in.

    This is in part due to an awesome staff, who despite the queue outside still have plenty... Read more

    Service 5 ticks. Coffee 5 ticks. Food yet to tick as I'm waiting for it but have no doubts it will be as good as everything else. Live the refit too!

    I am so happy to live within walking distance of Las Chicas. The soy latte experience for me here is consistently excellent. I actually get cravings for the particular taste of their creamy soy blended expertly with strong, smooth coffee at all hours of the day! My second choices of double... Read more

    My fellow reviewees might I remind some of you that this a coffee review not a food review ! Los chicas coffee is at best fairly consistent ... service can be a little slow as the place is always packed to the rafters. The quality of your preferred blend won't blow your socks off but it will... Read more

    I've lived in balaclava for 8 yrs and this spot has never let me down. The service is exceptional- they are never understaffed. Fantastic menu and great coffee. Only downside is the wait for a table on weekends- worth it though!

    Notwithstanding the awesome breakfasts and lunch menu, the quality and freshness of their food and the achingly hip place that it is - I must totally recommend the great coffee I've had Las Chicas consistently, every time. Beautiful to the last drop latte, medium to strong flavoured, awesome... Read more

    I come here because the food is great, but was pleasantly surprised today by a FANTASTIC piccolo. Good latte art, which I find normally is a bit hit or miss with a piccolo. Strong flavour, very enjoyable

    People in this area have a gem here! I was introduced to Las Chicas by a friend of my wife, who loves cafe'ing with friends. I love an urbane funky feel and Las Chicas has just that. I go mainly in the weekend and so does everyone else, getting a table does involve waiting, although I have become a... Read more

    Certainly an insitution on Carlisile Street. Was the best around when the girls owned in several years ago, and whilst standards have slipped it\'s only been minor and still definately worth the visit. Coffee is always consistently good, however don\'t order a takeaway in a rush, you\'ll be... Read more

    Besides there breakfast being the best thing ever, the coffee is top shelf, their double or single espresso are splended and the service is great with short waiting times even when there flat out, which is always... is that telling you something?

    Las Chicas has been a staple of Balaclava life for a good many years establishing it's reputation as a great breakfast and fab Coffee and - more importantly - being consistent.

    More an Urban Cool vibe with a speedy service, great staff than a place you can sit for hours. Children are... Read more
