Not sure how I’ve never got around to reviewing this GOAT of a coffee shop. Fast service, standing room only, sun filled high ceilings. Don’t be put off by the long lines and hoard of people out front. They will serve you fast and still find time to ask you how you are doing. Coffee is probably the best in town and strong. Beans are incredible too. Complimentary sparkling water and a taste of filter coffee if lucky. Bowen and Pip have built an institution and it shows with ever visit. A must if in town or just walking by.
Melbourne surely has no shortage of great coffee spots, and during our visit we tried to squeeze in as many as possible. This one was by far our favourite. Not only was the coffee EXCELLENT, but we also loved the vibe and the service. There were many baristas on shift, serving the steady crowd quickly and efficiently. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and it was a real treat to watch them work, and to watch so many Melburnians start their morning coffee ritual there.
This place is absolutely worth the hype! I finally understand why there’s always a line, hands down some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. I walked quite a distance to get here and waited a bit to be served, but every step and every minute was 100% worth it. The coffee was outstanding, smooth, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. What really impressed me though was the service. The staff were friendly and attentive, and they even brought out complimentary sparkling water. Such a small gesture, but it really goes a long way and shows how much they care about their customers. On top of that, the selection of cakes and pastries is fantastic, so many tempting options to choose from. Everything looked fresh and delicious. If you’re in Melbourne and love great coffee with equally great service, Patricia Coffee Brewers is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!
My friend and I had coffee here yesterday and it was great! They serve really good coffee. I got my usual Americano using Brazil beans. It had a lovely aroma and rich flavor notes. I was hoping for a croissant, but they were out, so I went for the cinnamon bun instead. It was okay; soft, but a bit more on the bready side. What really stood out was the overall experience— the kindness of the staff and the calm, simple vibe of the café, where people genuinely enjoy their coffee. Definitely coming back!
I was drawn by Patricia’s high ratings and how they make great use of their little laneway — cozy, chill vibes with outdoor seating that really capture Melbourne’s coffee culture. So I had to stop by for coffee and breakfast during my trip. I ordered an espresso, which tasted a bit burnt and too bitter for my liking. My sister had a white coffee, and it was slightly sour. Overall, the drinks were decent and matched the price. I’d still come back next time I’m in Melbourne — the staff and owner were super friendly, and the whole atmosphere was lovely. Perfect spot for some people-watching and a relaxed morning.
