Foxy Brown Espresso
Melbourne, Australia
User Reviews
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 coffee! I personally think a blend will beat a single origin for depth of flavour, any day of the week, but come and see (taste) for yourself. These folk take coffee seriously, though with a lightness of heart, and that is to be treasured.

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 cafés.

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 the taste was sensational beautiful in flavor but could have been a bit warmer. The short black that followed was sweet and crisp almost perfect I must say and the food was amazing as well will definitely go back.
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 addition to the perfect double ristretto) to a premium milk that he described as the best money can buy. Then he followed up with a complementary single origin for each of us - just because he could tell we were there to enjoy ourselves. What a nice guy! And it was great!
Loved the quiet ambience - but I was the...
