Have been frequently visiting Rays for 5 years now and have never left the place with a bad coffee. Always a very good standard and the food is just as good. The service is good although you have to wait when they get busy which is quite often. make your way down there when you get a chance.
Basically the fallback position in Brunswick. They've been making well-made Supreme coffee here for years. The big communal table is a great place to be on your own while not being on your own, otherwise you can hang out the front or choose one of the smaller tables inside. Menu doesn't seem to change much but the food is always good.
Strangely, I've never had breakfast here despite living 10 minutes away, yet I know others who have crossed town (from the other side of the river!) to do just that.
I walked past this place a few times before I went in. I would have reviewed it earlier but I had no idea what it was called as there is no signage anywhere at all!
It's a cosy little cafe and always seems full. The service isn't too bad considering how busy it is. The food I saw looked pretty good.
My cappuccino though - a bit disappointing. It was really nothing memorable. A bit unfortunate really considering everything else was lovely.
I believe the coffee here used to be more consistently awesome back in the day, since it changed hands, quality has gone down a few notches. It's still pretty decent, but there is now better coffee in Brunswick (across the road at Tre Espresso for one).
The place itself is pretty cool though, very brunswick hipster, but in a not-too-pretentious way. Also the breakfast menu is amazing.
