Generally fantastic coffee - depending of who's driving the machine. Can be a little inconsistent so perhaps one for locals who get the benefit of regularity to up the average... Love the simple menu of all day pides. Not much for brekky but toast with raspberry grappa jam more than hits the spot. Great friendly vibe outside with the endless stream of prams and puppies, or chill out inside and dig the awesome hip hop funk streaming out of the iPod. Enjoying the mural much more these days too!

Rosamond: perhaps a Collingwood institution in the making? Deliscious lunches (u must try the chicken baguettes or the Di special). If they entered iron chef with avocado as the ingredient, these guys would clean up... Quaint, cosy, slightly exclusive (hidden away and not too many tables), this is one of my favourite haunts in Collingwood. And, depending on who makes it, short macchiatos generally somewhere between consistently good and fantastic.

Great atmosphere (music and interior), great almond croissant, but more importantly fantastic short mac, if only this was the standard around the city. Can't comment on how they handle a milky coffee, but why waste a great coffee watering it down with milk anyway?
