Mietta's Review
Summer or winter this cafe dispenses quality coffee and generous amounts of well-being even for those without the almost obligatory Ducatti or other powerful piece of two wheeled machinery. In the summer the footpath tables almost push the bikes back into the Marine Parade traffic but when the sea breeze turns icy one can thaw out on the stools in Danny Colls' pair of rooms. The two shop-fronts are separated by a generous bar/food service area, there's not a lot of room left for the high benches, stools and newspapers which, when held upright, act as moving room dividers.

Cheap eat 2000, 2.5.00, Epicure, 'the cheap short list', Best coffee in Melbourne with the most distracting weekend clientele. you don't have to be a lycra clad racing cyclist to enjoy genovese coffee here. It tastes just as good even if you haven't clocked up 90km before breakfast.
