A hidden gem! I stopped here out of desperation one arvo when most other cafes in the area were closed. Will definitely be coming back- one of the best coffees I’ve had in ages and such lovely customer service!!

So glad to have found this hidden gem! The best iced matcha in the area, and the service was incredible. A welcoming environment and the owner is happy to have a chat, and knows his stuff when it comes to matcha! Thank you again, I will definitely be back

Fantastic batch brew! So many places struggle to extract the true flavour of the beans. But you nailed it!

A local gem that Bundoora truly needed! Finally, a cafe that brings great coffee, creativity, and friendly service to the area. The coffee is excellent (which is rare around here!), the service is warm and personal, and the whole vibe is charming and inviting. A must-visit if you’re after quality and something a little different.

Such an amazing find! This specialist coffee house is a much needed addition to the area. I came here to try it out as people are raving about this place. Genuinely friendly, welcoming service The Barrister is deaf (he told me ). So please respect this when ordering. You can't miss the shop, it's a delightful bright pink! It's a cute shop, tucked away in the Bundoora Square arcade. But a gem like this deserves finding. Lets support it, as it will be a tragedy to lose. Highly recommend!! 10 stars. Love it!

First of all I love the vibrant of this place, the coziness and warmness. The place is simple, but the cofee is great. The only thing that is hard to notice becuse of its location. The owner is great and very welcoming. My friend enjoyed having cofee at this place and we will definitely be back. I would really recommend this place
