Dr Jekyll


107 Grey St, St Kilda, Victoria
Date: 27.8.11

I’d never been to this part of St Kilda before, but wow I’m glad I finally did. This is a busy little café that feels inviting. I walked in thinking it was just the funky little inside area, I would have been happy with that. But no, there’s also a little leafy courtyard that was perfect for my sunny Saturday morning (even if a leaf did fall into my friend’s coffee). Service was quick, but funnily enough they brought out water glasses when we first arrived but no water until we asked. However, after that it was kept filled and our waitress was great, friendly and very helpful (I was a problem customer asking about all their types of jams). As for the coffee, a beautiful drop. It was well rounded and full of flavour. This is how a café should be. It may have been busy but it still felt cruisey and inviting. I’ll be back for sure.

AMBIENCE:    Whether you’re sitting inside or out, it feels comfortable. Wonderfully laid out to maximise tables. Felt great sitting under the sun, covered by the trees. 4.5 out of 5.

SERVICE:    Friendly and fast. They were great, but half a point taken off for giving us water glasses with no water. 4 out of 5.

COFFEE:    A bloody nice drop. Beautifully rich and full. 4.5 out of 5.
