Good coffee but $6.50!for the same coffee I order in Sydney for $4.50-5. They are having a lend. They pay a faction of the rent and employ backpackers. Serious. Other coffee in Cairns is as good at realistic prices. It’s not the $1.50 it the principal.

Little disappointed with the service and price , wanted a iced long black but they wouldn't make it.. would only make a cold brew or cold drip which I don’t partially like... which I explained, but she wouldn't make us a double espresso over ice , I said that’s how I enjoy it but no good. So we got doppio’s and for $5 each with grind in the bottom I was disappointed, if they are that particular/snobby with their coffee I would hope the end result would have been better..But hay maybe just not for me. Like previous review there are other places with better prices and vibe that we have discovered .

Run a mile. The hype has made them incredibly arrogant. The coffee is not that good, and the staff are incredibly rude.

Great coffee- really like the strong coffee taste. Strong latte was perfect temperature and very quick service. Highly recommend this place if in cairns.

Cool little laneway cafe serving strong and smooth coffees. Good selection of milks (Milk lab almond) if you’re into that kind of thing. Limited food choice but worth it for the coffee
