The coffee tasted sour and not suitable with the milk base coffee, there are not many milk options compare to other cafes in Melbourne. Its disappointing.

This is consistently my favourite coffee shop in Melbourne. Every single coffee is made with absolute care and attention to detail, and I have never been disappointed. When I am back home in NSW, I order their beans for delivery. The customer service from their mail order team is second to none, and I love the hand written cards that appear in each delivery. Highly recommended.
