My new favourite cafe. Ducked in for a quick takeaway and was very impressed. Vintage/funky interior, friendly staff without being snobby and not full of hipsters with manscaped beards (a rarity in Brunswick). Coffee perfect temperature, great blend, not too milky. I had this salted caramel wagon wheel thing which made me go weak at the knees. So good I wanted to just shovel it into my mouth but good manners prevailed.
Very pricey and always packed full of tourists. Waited 40 mins for a burnt, bitter, overpriced coffee. The front courtyard was filled with toff tourists complaining that there wasn't enough Sushi restaurants in town and their difficulties finding gluten free in the area. It's Phillip Island people, not Toorak.
Don't let the fact that this funky little place is based in a car park put you off. Good, smooth coffee (though pricey) and fantastic food. Modern interior, plenty of room to sit outside. The home made softball sized muffins are highly recommended.
Nice little cafe, unpretentious, cozy. Love the large graffiti wall. Coffee very good but slightly bitter for my taste. Terrific sun filled courtyard at the rear to chill with the dog. Will defo be back.
Grabbed a couple of takeaways so can't really rate the atmosphere but service was spot on. Friendly and we didn't have to wait long even though it was flat out with the weekend brunch rush. Coffee very good, not great but certainly hits the spot.
Great little cafe amongst a handful of shops in Camberwell South. Staff are always friendly and attentive, even during the lunchtime rush. Never had a meal here but the cakes and slices are excellent and the coffee always spot on. Nice enclosed courtyard at the back with an area for the kids and the staff always let me chill outside with my dog. If I hadn't moved away I would still be here almost on a daily basis.
Average place considering the rep. Luckily we got there early as there was a huge line of people waiting outside when we came out. A bit too pretentious for my liking.
Small cafe across from a car wash. Atmosphere/interior pretty dull, clientele mostly tradies and people who work nearby. Below average burnt coffee. Won't be back.
Nice, small cafe off the busy Camberwell High Street. Smooth Brazil inspired coffee, staff attentive without being annoying. Not much room to sit and full of mums with prams but the coffee is spot on.
I always grab a takeaway coffee if I'm anywhere near the Hammer & Tong. Awesome coffee, has a real distinct, lovely taste that shines through. Place is pretty small though!
Not the best coffee I've ever had, but nowhere near the worst either. Good creamy flat white, nice coffee taste shines through. Service with a smile even though they were really busy during the brunch rush. The best cafe I've tried so far in the new estate areas. Room to sit out with the dog outside too.
Coffee above average, if a little burnt at times. Always service with a smile, great location by the market
Don't even consider getting a table here because it's always chocka block. Great coffee and food though
Average cafe at best. Seemed more like an Asian noodle house then a cafe. Really not sure why it's in the top cafés list, the owner must be getting all his mates to give good reviews. Sooo many better places than this one. Very disappointed.
Good coffee but I'd recommend getting it to go if screaming babies, prams and soccer mums aren't your thing
Love this place. Great coffee, food and staff. It's good to have a coffee in a Brunswick cafe and not feel uncool because you're not a tattooed hipster with a well manscaped beard.
Coffee is pretty good but the clincher for me is the caramel slice. I'm a massive caramel slice snob and this place serves the best in Melbourne.
Really bad coffee. Would rather go to Maccas and that's a last resort. On a plus side the staff are pretty friendly.
Great coffee but good luck getting a seat on a weekend. Nothing but screaming kids and snobs. Staff are very easy going and attentive though.
So glad someone told me about this place. Always great coffee and chat with the owner. There's nothing worse than paying through the nose for a crap coffee but this place is always spot on. Love it.
