Jonathan Steffanoni

Can’t knock the coffee ... location is awesome and gentleman can get fitted with the tailor , cobbler and tattoo studio here too.

Luca Pascotto

Impressive atmosphere - coffee is good (according to my friend) - it closes at 5 pm and at 4:50 you can't ask for a coffee - but this beer is fantastic

@bby Chew

A great 'pick me up' drink on a Monday afternoon. Specially made by lovely barista!! ????????

Rianto Soputro

Wouldn't have thought that this is a place where you can enjoy coffee or food, if not for a friend who brought me here. I was assuming this was a fashion boutique shop .

Shawn Callahan

Quite an eclectic hidden gem . Artisans work from here as well as having great coffee and hipster feel.

Tercia Bambino Jolie

This place is absolutely oozing with character. Old time charm, leather workshop on the side. I wish I lived here!

Tom Igoe

Good breaky roll and 3 cheese toastie . While you're here, get a haircut and some bespoke shoes . Made us homesick for Brooklyn.

Sara Taylor

Delicious lemonade and sandwiches . Lots of windows and you can get your hair cut too.

Meanwhile, Captains of Industry, also on Somerset Place, is a vintage-styled cafe doubling up as a gentleman’s outfitter and barber . Read more

TB Bull

Now well and truly "discovered". No longer a quiet and quirky cafe , it's hipster central and very loud at lunch times. Still worth visiting, but no longer any good for a quiet conversation.

Linda W.

Order the rosehip iced tea without ice, otherwise you are paying $4 for a glass of ice with a shot of tea . Grrrr!

Genkizz19 Heartrock

Unique lil cafe upstair that not only serve you nice coffee !

Jun Heng

Cool cafe that also cuts your hair and fixes your shoes . Weird combination? More like unique.

Michelle

A great spot for Friday night drinks away from the madding crowds.

Víctor Ortega

"Knuckle Sandwich " recommended by HeraldSun.com.au

Patrick Kirby

a breakfast menu of only six items, it's reasonable to assume all will be available and cooked properly. This place fails both tests. Add on top poor service,no amount of hipster chic can salvage.

Kari Nicholas

Delicious latte - only one size available

Praveen Vijayan

Old school decor and feel. Great coffee .

Lydia Teh

Speak to the guys from Roberts and Hassett, they make bespoke leather shoes and they're awesome

Tim Lucas

The barber (Sam) is a legend. Ring ahead to make sure he's in.

Harriet Wakelam

Great place for older than tiny kids.. So many interesting things to explore

louis van

Its not only a coffee shop . Very cozy .

Ros Hodgekiss

Amazing, old timey cafe - if you can find it.

Cris Pearson

They have a special Saturday breakfast menu including various egg dishes . Yes!

Simon J Green

It may be gauche to complain about serving size, but $19.50 is rather too much for two slices of duck breast and a small handful of leaves.

Joey

Love this cute little place. Has decent sandwiches too.

Brett Pemberton

Knuckle sandwich was a fantastic meal!

paddy MC

jonathan richman's icecream man live playing on the turntable - total boston rock cred here

Cil Felps

Of course they don't have decafe ,... Should have known better... There *is* some artisanal decafes out there tho...

Seán Connolly

Great spot but unfortunately it's the second time I've been here when they have run out of bread . It was only 2pm. Most items on menu unavailable. Exit stage left-disappointed.

Michelle

This, now licensed, cafe shucks oysters on Friday nights.

Abhijit Patil

Great hideaway place...

Abhijit Patil
