Best coffee in the Adelaide CBD. They use premium milk along with eco-friendly cups and still at a great price (including take home beans). The location may make intersection traders feel like an inconvenience however you'll be satisfied that you made the effort to visit after trying.

The coffee is beautiful, the carrot cake is DELICIOUS, and the atmosphere is unbeatable. A cute cafe on one side, and sharing the wine bar seating on the other give such nice spacious and comfortable vibes. Plenty of vegan cake options

Absolute best coffee and service in the city. These guys are going from strength to strength with delicious food on offer now too. Cam, Alex and the team are the chirpy baristas you love visiting early each morning. 11/10!

Amazing cafe, serving up consistently excellent coffee and food. Toasties with homemade zucchini relish are to die for! Owners go above and beyond to source ethical coffee with profits going back to small holder farmers in Uganda.

Had an astonishingly good chilli potato toastie (dairy free!) for lunch today on a random wander in as I walked by. For many places a toastie is way to offer a cheap sanga on average bread with average ingredients but covered by the delicious trick of heating the food... But this was top tier everything: food, bread, flavor, crunchiness. Found myself wanting to go back for another different option tonight because it was so good. My Chai latte was also quit nice! Glad I wandered in.

Vegan sandwich was really yummy! Also appreciated the decor. Would be great if their menu included a second vegan option.

Exceptional quality ethical coffee, I am yet to find better, made by the award winning barista Alex from Melbourne Street! Very good value for money, BYO cup save more and help our planet. Located in the South West Corner of the West Oak Hotel next to Uni SA, service inside or through the soon to be iconic side window.
