  Overall a lovely cafe. And I recommend coming and checking it out. The coffee is great and the food is wonderful. I will definitely come visit again.

  Finally made it back to the big smoke after a work related posting in northern victoria. And on my way home i decide to swing past this little gem.

  Definitely one of the best cafes in the west. Generous servings, creative menu and awesome coffee (St Ali). Coupled with a large space for the kids to have a runaround. Couldn't ask for more in a cafe.

  It's great to see some new-wave cafes popping up in the Footscray area, we now have some choice. For me, though, the choice is already made as I just can't pass up the chance to head down to the reading room.
  
  I started coming here maybe six months ago when they first introduced their... Read more

  I am so impressed with this hidden gem! These folks have hit the mark in a big way! Fantastic friendly customer service, coffee know-how, multiple espresso blends, yummy lunch and snack items. This morning's Candyman brew was a real treat! Finally some decent coffee in Footscray!
