    The boys here are sure to please.
    Great setup, with a substantial brew bar offering a variety of filter brews, and an immaculate LaMarzocco producing some amazing espresso.
    My Brazilian was roasted by Axil, and had a solid body with malt tones. The guji pourover was pick of the bunch-... Read more

    Went with high expectations. Ordered my standard latte to kick off. They used a special milk which to me tasted like off milk. Soured the experience. They did make me a new coffee with normal milk at no charge but the damage was done. Good vibe though and good options available when ordering with the drips.

    I popped in and got a single origin magic. It was magical / nearly gave me palpitations. Strong, tasty, etc.

    Didn't think the long mac they pumped out was that good. Popped the lid, didnt see the crema nor the froth on top. Hmmm....

    Beautiful coffee every time. Try asking for the coffee of the day - it's a few cents more for a touch of exotic in your day. Staff are friendly and they're the kind to recognize you when you come back for more.

    Fantastic little cafe with great coffee and a great vibe. It is quickly becoming my favourite coffee haunt up this end of town.

    Here's hoping I came in on a bad day, because contrary to my previous appreciative reviewers, I had two bad cafe lattes from LBB. And by bad I mean 'piping hot and burnt'. This was a shame because it didn't allow me to enjoy what clear pride they take in knowing their bean inside out.

    Does its own thing and if you don't want cramped then don't visit. Solid coffee and that's what they're about

    Great pick me up coffee this morning, was offered the coffee of the day which was an ethiopia with notes of smooth dark choc. They delivered an espresso which was choc like with a clean finish, order a piccolo as well of the blend which was a balanced and sweet. Good to hear some different music... Read more

    Had a take away Long Macchiato from here the other week after reading all the positive reviews. Coffee was ok and drinkable but wasn't overly special, too much milk and not particularly strong - for my tastes I prefer a Long Mac with just a stain (or 'spot') of milk. Otherwise a good atmosphere... Read more

    The most reliably good coffee at the top end of the city. Real, fresh coffee with great service. And now they are serving sandwiches at lunch which makes it even better.

    Went today with a good friend, and she's not exactly the biggest coffee fan, however was open to a new experience.
    We had a long Mac and a magic, both in the house blend, a combination of two Guatemala beans.
    They were splendid, long Mac was not too hot and the flavour and colour of my... Read more

    Stumbled on this one a couple of months ago while on a work break, and since then The Age has named it as one of Melbourne's best - and there's a reason for that. LBB is funky almost to the point of caricature, but most importantly the coffee is consistently excellent. Well done guys!
