  Great to see the new Strada in action. It did not fail to deliver a well extracted espresso using Market Lanes seasonal beans. The result was a clean, balanced cup, with orange notes.

  Pretty good espresso, but poured too long for my liking and didn't really wow me.

  Still superb. Not much more to say really. Don't go changing Dead Man :)

  Best extraction of Seven Seeds blend I've ever had with some nice latte art too (which a lot of baristas don't bother with) at a more serene part of South Melbourne.

  Love the ethos behind this place - they keep bees and grow some of their own produce on the roof of the building they're in. And they've swapped their old machine out for a Strada. Solid coffee.

  Just smashed the most delightful strong Piccolo, so smooth and florally then followed it up with a cracker of a chicken bagel! Amazing! Superb! Made my day!

  Had a great breakfast here on a Saturday, the food was delicious, the coffee was maybe not as amazing as I'd hoped. It was tasty, I enjoyed it, I'd come here again.

  I popped by here one Sunday morning only to find it was too packed to get in!
  
  I came back with friends from interstate for coffee and lunch. Lunch was fantastic: a very tasty pork belly pide. My friends were equally impressed with their frittata and smoked salmon.

  If you are looking for great coffee, great food and a great cafe to hang out in then Dead Man Espresso is your best option. My flawless short mac which was followed by a flat white with perfectly textured milk was a great start to my Sunday morning. I will be going back.

  I just wish that I could find fault with Dead Man!
  Impossible.... Flawless piccolos using 7 Seeds. Great breakfast and prompt friendly service. What more could you ask for on a Sunday morning. In terms of longevity and consistency Dead Man is the shining star of Melbourne cafes.

  Dead Man Espresso, after only being open for three weeks is easily one of the top cafes in Melbourne. I was there with a group of friends this morning and over the hour or so we were there it was constantly full. This place goes to show that it isn't always about location but if you are doing...

  Fantastic seating at the verandah. I've enjoyed sitting on the bar stool facing outside, while sipping a cup of good (double shot) latte. However, there was a tad bit of over burnt taste at the end of every sip. The cafe has a very soothing vibe inside. Will definitely drop by again.

  Lots of charm and atmosphere with plenty of seating room, yet there is still likely to be a 30 min wait even on a Sunday, crazy!
  
  The coffee was above average, I wouldn't call it the best I've had, but I could believe you would be able to get a consistently good cup out of this... Read more

  Great setup in a quiet little corner of South Melbourne. My Costa Rican pour over was one of the best I have had. It was well balanced with no over or under extraction. Great atmosphere and service was alright. I'll have to come back when I'm next down in Melbourne.
