I have large hands, and this photo shows the size of the enormous toastie with high quality sourdough bread and chocka’s full of ham and cheese. Together with a high quality zesty coffee cost only $9.50. The staff are very friendly, service prompt and food very generous in serve. Highly recommend. I could not finish - keeping rest for afternoon!

This is the best drive-through coffee spot in Melbourne. Just across the road from Maccas, their coffee is far superior and cheaper. Their toasted sandwiches are delicious. I almost always get the two when I swing through. Staff are the friendliest people. Highly recommended.

This place has the most amazing coffee and service. I am barely this impressed by frappes but this was the best frappe I've ever had and they made it decaf too! Always smiling and always happy to accommodate everything for your needs, love this place!!!! Couldn't take a photo of it full because I finished it so quick.
