I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but this place makes excellent drinks. In summer they make wonderful iced chocolate and ice coffee. Beautiful icecream, real chocolate. An absolute treat. Tucked away like any hidden gem in Melbourne.

This place may be small but it has amazing coffee!  I try and sneak into the city once in a while just to have coffee with my hubby at this amazing spot.  We generally get take away because of the size of the place but these guys really know what they're doing with coffee.  The beans are absolutely amazing and even with all the customer they have lining up, the service is exceptional.  Definitely worth stopping by for this amazing gem.

Approximate cost: $10

A little tucked away place with the best coffee in the city... Great place to kick back have a great coffee and enjoy the trippy surroundings... chairs on the ceiling. Lol :)

This is the best coffee and a really unique flavour. Seven Seeds coffee beans and these guys are the little brother to the bigger café in carlton. Its a tiny shop and a bit quirky but definitely a must visit!!

One of the best places for coffee in Melbourne that I have found. Went there with a friend, and stayed for a little while to absorb the bizarre interior. Definitely worth a look

Gotta love a good coffee! Are you able to mention the name of the coffee brand they use? Sounds like a great place

You can't beat their coffee quality. Definitely worth waiting in line for. Melbourne is crazy for great coffee and this place always delivers. I have never had a bad coffee from here. Even the smell from the beans when you walk in is to die for

Approximate cost: $3.80

I've heard a lot of good things about Brother Baba so when I finally gave it a try, I was a little disappointed.

I guess my main problem was that I didn't like their beans - their house blend is a bit more acidic than I normally like my coffee. Judging by the size of the crowd there when I went, I guess there are lots of people who aren't bothered by it.

Went here per instruction of my coffee guru friend - coffee was delicious, as expected but didn't appreciate the indie barista looking down his nose at me - granted it was 7.30am, maybe he was just cranky at having to be up that early, who knows. My coffee was on the small side, yet still cost close to $4, but I think for coffee in the CBD, that's the now the rule rather than the exception.

Approximate cost: $4

I order coffee in the CBD numerous times a day and I think this is one of the best. It has a vibe about it its relaxing to hang out in the snacks are great and he service is fantastic.
