I ordered the Magic which is strong but not bitter. One of the best coffee I had. Family had hot chocolate and Matcha latte, both are great. Very friendly barista and great service. And they open all the way till 9pm on a Saturday night. I will definitely be back.

Amazing service and very beautiful owners. Looking forward to seeing the escape rooms once installed!! My partner and I got a Cocoa Banana smoothie with vanilla protein powder and iced chocolate and both were really nice.

Absolutely love this place! Harley and Rebecca are both lovely, they're great at letting you talk as much or as little as you want. There are so many amazing drinks that it's hard to choose. Their community game/karaoke/trivia nights are also pretty fun. All in all, one of my Must Visit stops whenever I visit Bendigo city!

Purchased a hot chocolate, iced latte, ciabatta sandwich and a pastry; all delicious. Seriously, no faults. The service was friendly and welcoming and it’s in a great spot in town. Would absolutely come here again!

Finally a cafe for nerds and geeks alike ! I can confidently say, if you're a matcha fan or expert, then this cafe will take the #1 spot for the best Matcha latte in Bendigo. If you're going to give this place a try I'd highly recommend the Iced Rose matcha latte
