Excellent coffee here, they know how to make it. Nice chill vibe. Fun stop off before/ after the Apollo theatre.

One of the best coffees I’ve had in London, the barista was very warm and welcoming too! Cozy corner, super chill

Very noticeable burnt beans or over extracted in my Espresso. I asked for a single shot and what I got looked and tasted more like a weak Lungo Voir le carte

Unfriendly service (I felt like an inconvenience). Coffee was also lukewarm, underwhelming and also the most expensive I’ve had in London? Bonkers to be paying that much for a sub-par coffee.

Been here twice hoping for the best. Both times the espresso was undrinkable. Sometimes when the coffee is horrible you hope the service will make up for it, but the employees were also terrible. Won't be going back.

Ridiculously overpriced coffee £3.5 for a regular black Americano) and the worst taste. They use clearly overroasted burnt) beans, which taste identical to ground coffee. There was no aroma, note or characteristics about the flavour Voir le carte

I was never going to post a review. But few months ago I went here to buy a coffee ang admittedly, it is good but you could get better coffee around the area for a better price. Then I came here for matcha, and DONT ORDER THE MATCHA HERE! I ordered an EXTRA STRONG matcha latte, and there was barely any! I felt like I was drinking oat milk, with its still oatish colour. With its price point, I was expecting a solid experience but it was a let down.

From a fellow Melbournian who’s being living here for over a year now. I’ve given this place a try 5 times now to be exact and now it’s really worth a review... Not even close to being an “Australian cafe” the coffee is SO awful, no one is actually an Australian barista and worst of all it’s £4.20 for an oat flat white!! Staff are always rude, they never smile- you’ll always be the first to greet them. Save your pennies darling, pret can make a better coffee!

I question whether this place is Australian in any way at all. The two people serving were Asian (maybe Indian) and potentially were husband and wife. I'm aware that people can appear Asian and still be Australian but their accents were distinctly Asian sounding and not Australian and they were speaking another language to each other at one point. The coffee itself smelled and tasted VERY different to coffee I am used to. It smelled like tobacco more than coffee and had a very bitter taste. I've heard a lot about how good Australian coffee is meant to be and I was thoroughly disappointed hence why I question whether it actually was Australian at all. Voir le carte
