Jamaica Blue Chirnside Park — Restaurant in Melbourne

I bought a coffee from here this morning (couldn't be bothered going to Lilydale). I asked for soy flat white with their "Wallenford" beans as highlighted on a display board (which also had prices). When I got my coffee it was almost $3 more than displayed ($6.40! for a medium size). I looked again at the price board which said $3.90. Having soy I thought this was still way overpriced.

Seeing the futility, I walked away and took my business else where where I was warmly greeted, accommodated and given good service.

Come to Jamaica Blue, I’m sure you might be treated poorly too. Isn’t this...
