I arrived and was told take a seat and someone would come and take my order. (I didn't get asked for check-in confirmation or my vaccine certificate) I sat there for 10 mins whilst staff walked past, without any acknowledgement. I got up and asked if I could see a menu so I could order. No menu. Which is fine normally, but after waiting and then having to wait even longer for service I didn't stay. A very insincere "apology" was also given.

I have been with Padre from the beginning, 10 or so years ago when they were called Brunswick West Project. Their coffee has been consistently amazing. I only just got around to writing my review...

Delicious soy latte and amazing pastries from Via Porta. Very smooth tasting coffee beans which have been roasted well. Staff are super friendly and I can tell they remember their regulars. You can pick up your coffee beans to make at home at this store.

During lock down one of my regular happy moments has been getting my coffee beans delivered in the mail. Every single origin/blend variety I've ordered has been exceptional

Coffee is fine. I cannot wear a mask and have a medical exemption, due to this I was asked to wait outside on a cold rainy day despite there being not a single other customer in the shop. Not nice. Treat people like humans not walking bio security hazards.
