Almost a year since my last visit and two years since my last coffee review. The restaurant is still popular and we received excellent service, I had two piccolos and while they were nicely prepared I found the aftertaste a little sour and off putting.

Four of us visited on a Sunday afternoon and ordered a variety of coffee styles. My piccolo was pretty good although it could have been warmer. Feedback from others were they enjoyed their flat white, latte and magic respectively.

Stopped here on our way into Adelaide and had tasting platters - a coffee with two matching chocolates. My partner thought her piccolo was superb whereas mine tasted as if it was slightly burned. Chocolates were excellent but I’m not sure they helped with appreciating the coffee.

Popped in for lunch and coffee. Piccolo was good but could have been hotter. Toastie was nicely prepared and tasted very good.

Ordered piccolos and were delighted with service and the coffees. They were served in ceramic espresso cups and were a bit small, but otherwise looked and tasted very good. Easily the best coffees we had in Shepparton.

Went for coffee and breakfast. Coffees were a bit weak but otherwise drinkable. Breakfast was excellent. We both enjoyed scrambled eggs with chorizo and chilli.

Based on recent reviews we concluded they have morning and evening baristas. Our piccolos were okay but could have been better. Textured milk was thin, coffee needed to be 5 degrees warmer but taste was okay. Accompanying dinners were excellent and overall we enjoyed the experience.

We ordered piccolos and service was slow. When they arrived the coffees had a nice consistency and tasted good, albeit they could have been 5 degrees hotter. Overall not bad given the location and the choice.

Saturday lunchtime in a small town and the coffee is delicious. Two piccolos which looked good, albeit very dark and suggesting very strong. But in fact not strong at all and very smooth. Will certainly return for coffee when next in the area.

Great place for coffee and food. We had Magic’s and they were very well prepared and tasted delicious. We arrived about 30 minutes before the advertised closing time and no problems with also getting a late lunch which was quickly prepared and very tasty.

Great to find it open after 4pm and service was friendly and helpful. Ordered Magics and lucky the person serving us knew what they were as not on the menu nor on the cash register presets. Magics looked more like long blacks but tasted nice, albeit very strong.

A small coffee shop at the Flinders St end of Degrsves St. Service was excellent, coffee was very well made and presented.

Service was quick and efficient on a busy Christmas Eve. Our coffees, a piccolo and a magic, were nicely prepared, a good temperature and a delight to drink. We also had mini doughnuts with Turkish delight, strawberry cheesecake cream and pistachio crumbs and they were delicious. Well worth the visit!

We stopped for a regular long black and a piccolo. Notwithstanding being given a number when we ordered my coffee partner got asked if he ordered a long black and his yes got him a coffee which was then spilled over his leg. 5 minutes later a different serving person brought out our order. My piccolo looked and tasted good and was the right temperature. So one good coffee and one that was made ordinary by the service ,

Four of us dropped in to Cassiopeia for coffee. Three picollos and a skinny latte. All were quickly prepared using the La Marzocco machine and looked very good. All agreed they also tasted great.

Four of us went for morning coffee and ended up with scones, jam and cream too. We had a variety of coffees including my piccolo. Initial taste wasn’t positive but by the second sip I was enjoying the coffee and looking forward to the scones which turned out to be delicious, the other three all were quite happy with their coffees too.

Four of us dropped in for coffee and lunch. Coffee was Vitoria and my partner and I ordered piccolos. They came in the small Vitoria glasses and initial impression was the coffee was very strong and bitter, but stirring the coffee improved the taste and we enjoyed the coffees. Lunch was nicely prepared and we all appreciated our choices.

Arrived just after 4 to be told machine was off as they close at 4:30.

It’s a couple of years since I last reviewed Some Cafe and I was pleased to find that the coffee and cakes were still excellent. My partner and I both had piccolos and were in agreement that they not only looked good but also tasted pretty good too.

A pity I didn’t read the previous review as I too got the tepid coffee. It seems that too many baristas think they can tell the temperature of the milk based on touching the bottom of the jug, when in fact they are way out. Don’t know about 20 like last review but certainly under 50 degrees!

Popped in at lunchtime for a quick piccolo. Service was quick, was presented with a nicely prepared coffee and the taste was pretty good although the coffee could have been a little warmer. Another couple of degrees would have brought the coffee over 60 degrees and made it even more enjoyable.

A very nice campos piccolo- lovely taste and looked good too. Very much up to normal Campos standard. Staff friendly and provided quick service.

A limited range of milk based coffees so we opted for double shot lattes and were delighted with the taste. Presentation was first class and not a drop spilled from full cups notwithstanding the steep climb from the machine on the ground floor to the table area on the first floor. Location wise this cafe is directly across the road from the Floating Garden building bus park and is only a short walk via a walkway to the Grand Front Building.

We had Gibraltar’s which is what I would call a decent sized piccolo. I opted for the Dominican beans and this seemed to push the price up by 100 yen per glass. The taste of the coffee was too fruity for us and hence the coffee rating was lower than otherwise would have been the case as in all other respects the coffee presentation was first class and topped off by very friendly staff.

We tried small, double shot, cafe lattes in cups. Preparation time was slow but the result was coffees with heads that gave the impression the coffees would be super strong, but I’m fact they tasted superb but should have been 5-10 degrees hotter as they were only luke warm. Sporty is located in a clothing shop on a quiet side street but it has a nice seating area outside facing the street.

Finally found this coffee shop after initially finding and below reviewing its second shop. Did not try this shop but don’t follow the directions offered as it’s located in Porte near the entrance to the subway station.

We visited three times over two days and thoroughly enjoyed our double shot small lattes each time. Staff are very friendly and all seem to have spent time as baristas in Australia where they learnt to make great coffees. Well worth the visits!

We visited the Ogawa Coffee across the road from the station in the Kyoto Tower Building. We had lattes and the coffee looked good, tasted ok and was the right temperature. The coffee was served in cappuccino cups but still tasted like lattes. Will order double shots next time just to get a stronger flavour. Place had lots of seating but looked like a cafeteria. Service was quick and efficient with coffee brought to the table.

This shop has either moved or opened a second shop as it’s located behind the main shrine. Hot coffee options were limited to espresso, cappuccino and latte. We opted for the latter which arrived looking like s nicely prepared flat white. Temperature was perfect and tasted like it was made from good beans. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Not sure if they moved or opened. Second shop but we visited the one behind the Itsukushima Shrine . We both had hot cafe lattes which were served in cappuccino cups and were presented like flat whites. Tasted great and were prepared to just over 60 degrees. Service was quick and pleasant.
