Most random and wonderful place ever! Cannot stress enough how surprisingly amazing this place is the decoration based on random stuff from 80s&90s is the coolest thing. The barista made our day, he is super fun and genuine let alone saying that the coffee is tasty. Must add on your visit to Brighton Beach!

Went here on the way to work with the bus replacements happening, the chap behind the counter was very friendly and polite. The cafe overall was aesthetically pleasing offering vintage/retail items. Coffee was probably the best I’ve had in a long time and accompanied by a little cute ginger biscuit. I’ll most definitely be back

Such awesome retro nostalgia vibes from the second you set foot into the cafe! And all the items on display are for sale too, how cool is that?! Anyways, stopped in on my way to my client I just googled the nearest cafe as I sat and waited in traffic and this was the closest to me. The guy that served me was very friendly and welcoming. I got the cheese and mushroom toastie and a chai leaf tea which was absolutely delicious!! You even get a complimentary ginger biscuit on top of coffee cup which I thought was a sweet gesture and definitely put a smile on my face as I wasn’t expecting that. If you’re ever walking by or past towards the beach, pop in a and grab a coffee!

Lovely people serving the best toasts I have ever had. The Toasta Loca is a must try for foodies. Looking forward to coming back again to try other food here. The skinny cap was great as well

Had chai latte on Monday morning. I was looking at how the man made the chai - it was made with a lot of care and I could tell it from the taste. The place was cozy (though there aren’t many seats available, the interior was nice - takes you back to 80s or so) and the staff was very kind. I was visiting Melbourne for a week, exploring the area, and trying different cafes, but this place was memorable. I had it take away as it was just a minute away from the beach and enjoyed it alongside the beach. Perfect to be a little bit away from the touristy area and enjoy relaxing time.

We came here on the recommendation from the Brighton Railway station CSO. We were dying for a coffee, after riding our bikes along the cycleway (we began our journey from Newport). We had not stopped til now. My partner drinks decaf. I love a flat white. The coffee was great. The service was excellent. We indulged in cake. It was carrot and I think there was rhubarb in it too. You know the typical factory made banana bread you get at cafes... yeah-nah! This was HOME-MADE and it was beautiful. Great flavour and texture. The shop is quirky. We LOVED it and next time we're around, we'll return. We took our coffee and cakes across to the beach. Coffee cups featured original artworks. I adore contemporary art . A perfect day indeed.

Super cool little spot. Service was great, coffee was good and toasties were delicious. Not a huge variety of food but what they have is done well. The interior looks like the love child of your Nan's loungeroom and your mad uncle Barry's shed/man cave and it is
