Cafe No. 5
Ordered a strong flat white, the coffee I got was more milky than I like. Tasted not so much “strong” but more “with subtle burnt hints”.
Not a bad cup, I’ll have to come back and try something without milk to really judge the coffee itself though.
Relatively cheap at $2.50 for a regular.

Got a very tasty long black from here, I’ll be back for sure.

Centro Espresso Caffe

Great long black. I work round the corner, and have tried most of the cafes along DeGraves St/Centre Place. Centro is my pick to grab a good, reliably brewed takeaway coffee on the back way to the office.

Reasonable omelette and double espresso. Nothing to write home about though.

The staff are pleasant and they make a good flat white. It’s sometimes busy but not crowded, and the added kiosk counter for coffee/snacks on the side makes ordering faster and easier.

It was Melbourne Cup Day, so perhaps their attention was elsewhere, but somehow they managed to serve me a croissant that was simultaneously stale, cold and burnt. The coffee didn’t fare much better: tepid, burnt and rather tasteless. I didn’t even fini…

Decor is cool and interesting.
Coffee is average. Not bad, not great. There’s better along the DeGraves/Centre Pl strip
