I love this cafe. The women behind the counter always have a smile and can get you your coffee in time to catch your train - no matter how late you are running. Coffee is excellent but the friendly staff make it. Thanks ladies.

REALLY really nice decaf cappuccino! The potato cakes are also really popular and they deserve it because they're some of the best I've had. Really nice to be able to get a hot coffee just before your bus or train arrives on a cold winters day.

Very impressed with this cafe, coffee is tasty and served very hot. They have a good selection of food and didn't take very long, perfect for the train journey.

Give these people a break, I found customer service to be good & fast. I'd imagine peak hours. They would be under the pump, and every person and their dog is after a coffee before their trip to Melbourne Get here on time, or get a coffee before you arrive. Coffee here is better than mcdonalds Lara.
