I've been here a few times before, but it appears to have had a change of owner and name. Noisy location on the corner of Homer Street is offset by the Belaroma beans which aren't badly used. Strong Latte was pleasant, aromatic and quite sweet.

The double macchiato comes in an oversized eggcup and they use espresso di manfredi. Very bitter. Very long. Way too much milk. The fancy shape on top doesn't help. Layout doesn't seem logical either

An absolute gem. The food is always top notch and the service is excellent too. Kid friendly, though can get a little packed for the child seats. The coffee is by Di Lorenzo who I'm not familiar with. Espresso slightly bitter. But plenty of body for my tastes. Latte to come

Asked for a macchiato with tiny bit of milk. When it came it had enough milk on top to make a latte. The coffee was pleasant enough, if a little lacking in flavour. The service okay, though the raspberry brownie was dry and expensive. Possibly shouldn't expect too much from a mall cafe

Highly impressed. By the service and interest shown in how my colleagues macchiato was made. My long black was pretty good too. All the paraphernalia, especially the roaster at the front door. Just adds to the experience

Attracted in by the "award winning allpress espresso" sign. Bitterly disappointed by the blandness of the result. The overt milky taste always points to a badly made coffee. Must do better.

My daily brew. It appears the discerning bunch from the office go there. The cats behind the bar know my pref for a strong one in the morning, and unlike other nearby venues they manage to keep the milk perfect all the way back to the desk. Sitting in is good too. Almost reminds me of Wien and the awesome coffeehouses there where coffee ALWAYS comes with a glass of water on the side.

I'd forgotten about this little place until a recent Twitter meetup. Love the fact it has the second hand bookshop out the front, the winebar in the evening and just really well made coffee
