The Cook Book Kitchen is a lovely little cafe. The walls are lined with different recipe books that customers are welcome to browse through. While the breakfast menu is nothing exciting, there are definitely yummy options.

The coffee here is one of the better sources of caffeine in Surrey Hills. It comes quickly and tastes good. My latte was smooth without any bitter aftertaste.

The only distracting thing about this cafe is the noise of the train line. This isn't so much of a problem on the weekend but during the week if you have an early brekky there are trains every 5 minutes or so.

I have mixed feelings about the Maling Room. Despite the amount of cafes that Maling Rd boasts, I think the Maling Room is one of the only places that serves decent coffee that is consistent. The atmosphere isn't great though - the high ceilings make it noisy and of a weekend it's always cheek-by-jowl. I'd suggest getting take away coffee from here and drinking it somewhere more picturesque - perhaps the lovely Canterbury Gardens around the corner.

Best coffee on campus. It's worth the trek over to the STRIP for your morning takeaway. While pricier than your average uni coffee it's worth it, and they have lots of yum pastries. The atmosphere is probably better than most other places on campus but it's nothing special.

The breakfast menu at Watts Cooking is enough to keep me coming back, but the coffee is unremarkable. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not particularly memorable. The staff are friendly and attentive and the service is usually fast. However, while there IS a cute courtyard out the back, last time I sat out there my brekky was interrupted by some very aggressive wasps!
