Really good espresso. The scone was light, tasty, and fresh. Nadine was friendly and took some time to chat with me about the coffee. We came back again for the waffle. Amazing!
Very good coffee. Alternative milks available. Melbourne-ish cafe vibe. Great pancake ice cream. Price not bad for Flinders St. I think the owner should put in some acoustic pinboard to help reduce noise in the room. It could be pretty loud with just a few people talking. Itโs Flinders St so pretty much paid parking is your only option during week day. For nights and weekend there are a few options around the corner. Can just do street parking and walk there.
Highly recommend The Hoi our favourite cafe for breakfast Beautiful coffee and delicious menu. Love the vibe. Staff are so friendly
First time having a feed here! I ordered a small latte and a McDoyle. The coffeeโs really good! The bread is crispy, the meat is fresh and tender, the egg is juicy, and the flavor is light and refreshing. Its a ripper feed! Iโll be back๏ผ
