Market Espresso & Trolley Hire — Restaurant in Melbourne

This is one coffee episode that did not end well. A truly gruesome gastronomical experience that will be hard to forget. The coffee was that bad that 6 months on and I'm still trying to forget the bitter, burnt, acidic taste, that was left in my mouth after trying to consume a cup of char that this vendor had the audacity to call coffee. The first instance that all was not going to end well was when I ordered, 1 Long Black and 1 Americano. The young lady taking the order passed it on to the Barista. She called out for 2 Long Blacks. When I corrected her she told me it didn't matter as a Long Black and an Americano were the same anyway. In the next instance the Barista, after grinding the coffee, didn't tamp it.

This is, among other things, evidence that some changes should be made to capitalise on the good quality product they...

I can not believe how disgusting the long haired dirty blonde lady was here! I asked if it was possible to give me tap water in a takeaway cup, as i gave the homeless man food and i had no water with me. Her reply was there is a water fountain. What a low life of a human. I understand you cant help everyone, but i asked politely and i thought what a nice thing to do for someone. She worked on the 29th of november. I would have purchased myself for 3 other people, and paid a $1 for the cup but she did not even allow me to offer this.
