Turtle Cafe


34 Glenhuntly Rd, Elwood, Victoria
Date: 12.8.11

This place is an Elwood institution, sitting in the perfect location to sit on a warm Melbourne afternoon and sip coffee or a glass of wine. This was winter, so I sat inside. But still, this place is all about the ambience and has that great feel where you feel very relaxed. I’ve been there at night, not as good then, so come for the afternoon with some friends and you’ll love it. The coffee was good without being great. It was very strong but seemed to lack some of the smoother edges. Service was friendly without being overly memorable. A nice place that may not be the best, but is still pretty good.

AMBIENCE:    This is what this place has. Try this cafe in spring and sit outside with your friends or maybe a good book. Maybe even buy me a coffee! 4 out of 5.

SERVICE:    Nice enough and quite fast. They’re competent but you feel they don’t go that extra mile. 3.5 out of 5.

COFFEE:    It’s a nice drop, and it’s very full and strong. The flavour just lacks some depth. 3.5 out of 5.
