Early Saturday mornings remind of why this is the best place for coffee in the area. More a coffee place than a cafe that does coffee, I'm constantly amazed by the consistency and friendly atmosphere and great baristas.

This is one of those cafes that I've heard a lot about but never had the chance to check out. Finally I visited it and had some amazing coffee and food. The espresso had a thick crema and had a strong after kick to it.

This magnificent café is an unstoppable force of scrumptious food and bold coffee. I wish that I could pick up their building and all it contains and drop it in my backyard, because I actually would live there if it were closer. Rich brown timber furniture sits against a backdrop of red brick walls that are exposed by peeling paint, and stunningly simple decorations of exquisite flowers, origami cranes, brown twine and worn sheet music complete the formula to create one of the most perfect cafés in Melbourne.

The coffee I delighted in this morning was strong, citrus-y and sweet, and had a...

I was recommended this place by a guy working behind the bar - I'm not sure how we got onto the topic of coffee!

Decided to try it out and absolutely thrilled with the long black I ordered that day. Really smooth brew - almost too clean for my liking, I seemed to remember wishing the coffee had a bit more body to it. That didn't stop me from ordering 3 in a row, though. I might go short black the next time is all.

This place is one of 2 coffee shops I'll dare to order a long black every time I go in. Hope all the baristas are as good as this guy!

Great spot tucked away behind the Safeway on Carlisle St. The coffee is consistently good and they have some fantastic single origin roasts. The food is all veg, fresh and tasty but slightly overpriced ($14.50 for smashed avo and feta).. Still.. I keep going back.

I had a fantastic long black here, and I love that it came with a little side of hot water to add if I needed to. Monk is a tiny space, I perched on a corner of a big communal table. The staff were very pleasant, explaining the different types of coffee on offer.
