Coffee Branch — Restaurant in Adelaide

The first thing that one notices about Coffee Branch is that the baristas use Five Senses beans. This is already a good sign; Bar Nine on Glen Osmond Road, the established king of Adelaide coffee boutiques, swears by them, and I have yet to have a coffee from Bar Nine that isn't outstanding. The same is the case here. My standard fare is either a cappuccino or a mocha, and both have the texture of velvet. Like Bar Nine, coffee at Coffee Branch is dangerously drinkable, and you could go through a huge number of them without a second thought. The shop always has a good selection of sweets - including some pretty enchanting macarons by local Adelaide "food scientist" Alex Crawford - and while I haven't yet sampled the savoury options, they seem popular. The shop itself is small, but don't let that bother you. It's clean and vaguely minimalist, but with just enough crammed in to make it feel like the trendy-yet-cosy favourite cafe that it aspires to be. The staff are always friendly, with that right mix of professionalism and fun, and they don't keep you waiting. If you're in Adelaide CBD and desperately need coffee, Coffee Branch on Leigh Street is not just a good option. It's really the...

Lovely little coffee place nestled at the Currie Street end of Leigh Street. It’s a narrow bit cosy space , with a fantastic wall mural down the end . Caffeine was done well - the coffee was Vice Coffee and it was their own roasted blend . The drink was smooth and very drinkable . I also ordered a breakfast bun on gluten free bread, which I enjoyed as a late breakfast. What I really loved about this place was the service , the lovely person making my food took great pains to check if everything on my breakfast sandwich was gluten free, and made substitutes when they weren’t - I was absolutely blown away with the care that was taken ! Definitely recommend this place - would have given more than five stars for service if I could ! As an aside - was very impressed by the mural on the outside wall , tucked in with some outside seating. Great place to come...

I’ve been buying coffee from coffee branch on and off since it first opened. I rarely go there anymore as parking is super restrictive and the council have essentially destroyed the ability to call past and grab a coffee due to traffic restrictions on Currie Street. That aside I had a meeting in the city this week that allowed me a little more time so I ventured down to grab coffee and was so happy to return and have 2 absolutely fantastic coffees. The clincher for me was watching the barista re pour my ristretto as he wasn’t perfectly satisfied with the first result. You really do not see that level of care that often these days. The service was as friendly as I remembered and the food options though small in quantity are high in quality and would cover most people’s needs. Kudos...
