    Funky little cafe, serving coffee roasted by Josh Bailey. My Single origin from Brazil was nutty with a solid body. The Wahana cold drip had great earthy tones. Patrick is a friendly barista/owner, and makes a mean espresso on the Syncro machine.

    I loved the atmosphere of this cafe but somehow feel disconnected with me. (maybe it was only me) They served an extensive method of brewing coffee, which is great. I've had a latte, which i thought a bit over burnt and I can't seem to enjoy it. I would give it another try, maybe?

    I came in here today with some friends. It was quite busy, but we got a table quickly.

    We ordered single origin cappuccinos. None of us were really impressed. Seemed like a great place though, especially since their coffee menu filled an entire page.

    Nice atmosphere... Read more

    It's been over 2 years since my last visit but seeing as I was going to be in Melbourne on business less than 10 minutes drive from Foxy Brown, it was straight here from the airport for my first coffee of the day and some breakfast.

    After saying hello Pat I found a seat for my... Read more

    Can't wait to try the single origin cap that a previous reviewer mentioned. But my flat whites are nailed and the ever-changing single origins and cold drip offerings keep me coming back. Super-friendly staff. Hint - no need to order a 'strong latte' as they are strong as is. Great food is a bonus.

    Been meaning to come here for ages - it exceeded my expectations. Had a long black and then their 'coffee flight' - an espresso, piccolo latte, and short macchiato, I think, each with a different single origin or blend. All were expertly made - the latte almost converted me back to milk-based... Read more

    They make their small coffees with a double espresso. My flat white had a bitter aftertaste. Flavour wasn't that interesting but still a tasty coffee and better than receiving a weak milky coffee. Nowhere near as good as what other people describe it as though.

    I'm never disappointed with Foxy Brown. Yesterday I began with a beautifully smooth latte, rich in flavour and perfect strength. This was followed by a beautiful breakfast and another top-standard coffee. Love this place.

    Went there for breakfast with friends this morning and have to say a smile came to my face as soon as I saw the place, such a warm neighbourly feel to the place.
    Was greeted with a smile and an offer for a coffee straight up had a latte to start off and saw that they used non homogonised milk... Read more

    Just what I needed. I only had a few minutes, and foxy brown was able to hook me up with a dynamite espresso. With a stylish venue and a quick joke with the barista, I walked out with a smile on my dial. Looking forward to having more time to enjoy it more.

    I was in for breakfast and coffee this morning. I was so impressed with todays offerings that I had to come back to add another review. What did I have? I tried their newly initiated take-home cold drip bottles.

    On the drip today was a finely polished Mexico San Cristobal - so good... Read more

    Perfect start to a Saturday morning - a barista that knows everything and aims to please with shots that always fire. Real gem of the inner northern suburbs that i cant wait to get back to and whose praises I sing to anyone who asks.

    First magic was spot on, partly maybe due (in... Read more

    Went there on a pleasant weekday, very nice place. Really good espresso, very friendly staff. Nice mix of seats and settings, nice couch out the front. Nice place to get a coffee after a nice quite gentle ride. Beans by small independent roaster. Environmentally responsible.

    Whenever I am in town, I do my best to head to Foxy brown's for the best damn brown in town. The staff are always welcoming, the Barister is more in-love with coffee than anyone I know and the food is heaven, with all those combinations and real cooking...you just can't beat Foxy's

    Very cruisy vibe with great and friendly staff. Coffee inconsistent but potential for a great coffee if you're willing to come back. First one not so good but second one fantastic! Menu is great fun with a lot of tasty classics!

    Foxy Brown was on my "coffee crawl" list when I spent three and a half days drinking coffee all over Melbourne during October 2010.

    It was furthest from the CBD (where I was staying) and I had to catch a train for what seemed forever but in reality was probably only 30 minutes (I'm... Read more

    Have been visiting Foxy Brown regularly for quite some time now and I thought it was high time I send some kudos their way. I get around the melbourne coffee scene, never wanting to rest on my laurels, I am always looking around for a new place to try, after all Melbourne is so blessed with quality... Read more
