Stax
This place has become my regular go-to place for my coffee run before work. Latte of consistently good quality is served fast in this tiny little cafe with great ambiance. Very often the latte from this place tastes velvety and heavenly. What tops it off is its coffee and muffin deal for 4 bucks - how can you beat that? This is my next favourite coffee place after Degraves Espresso.

Great strength without bitterness or over extraction. Milk was a little under heated but the late did have that reflection / gloss that makes a great late. Top notch service, polite and not over the top. Awesome quiet atmosphere.

Tasty coffee, friendly staff and a nice large table to work on. Love the decor and pendant lights too.

Have tried a lot of different coffee. This is the best coffee I’ve had. If you like your coffee with a bit of strength to it but still smooth and not bitter, this is the place for you.

The Workshop Bar

Once described to me as “Melbourne’s most surprising beer garden”, this place also does a respectable long black, although you wouldn’t guess it.
If you have trouble finding it, that’s because it’s upstairs from the unassuming entrance on A’Beckett St.

Reasonable take-away long black, a little bit on the bitter side. Pick any of the myriad of cafes in Melbourne Central, they’re all about the same.

A surprising little Melbourne laneway special. Great espresso and a pretty cool castle theme. Hard to describe this place, so you probably need to check it out for yourself.
