St Edmonds

Finally a place that gets it right, in my neighbourhood!

It's great to walk into a place that you know the owners have thought about everything. The fit-out is very cool. When I first walked in the door I was greeted by friendly staff, they quickly found me a table even though the place was full and very lively. I order my coffee and within minutes I received a great flat white. I had a quick read of the menu and it looked amazing. I didn't have time to eat, so next time I will be there for the food. I loved that the menu is short. I ordered another coffee to go since the first one was so good. I got it within minutes again. 

I have to admit I have read the reviews on Urbanspoon and all I can say is that if you have never made coffee before you probably don't understand how long it takes to make and also you never see how many dockets are lined up. If someone gets their coffee before you do even if you ordered before them it's because the barista is grouping the dockets by milk. This is for efficiency. So give the guys a break. 

I think this is going to be my new local. Thanks guys.
