STREAT Cromwell Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

One of the best cafes I’ve visited so far and the atmosphere of streat, wow 😍

FOOD & COFFEE: I ordered the ‘Mochi Donuts’ and a soy latte and both items were perfect! The mochi donuts were so unique and so so good! The mandarins were such an amazing tart flavour, the mochi donuts had the absolute BEST texture (tbh i was afraid they might be soggy but they were so crispy on the outside and perfectly chewy on the inside), the miso caramel was such a unique and GENIUS combination bcs it was sweet with a slightly savoury umami flavour and the freeze dried mandarins were like honeycombs but 10000x times better! Truly one of the most unique, delicious and special brunch dishes I’ve ever had! The coffee was also phenomenal and one of the best I’ve ever had! It was brewed to perfection and had a perfectly nutty flavour and together with the creamy soy milk, I was IN LOVE!

SERVICE: Service here is amazing! They’re really friendly and super chill. I also appreciated them not pushing for more coffee despite me staying there for quite abit ❤️

AMBIENCE: I usually am chill with ambience but I have to give them major props for their beautiful cafe. Even when you’re inside, you’re gifted with being able to see the beautiful garden that they have and they have free wifi so students, I fully recommend STREAT!

Overall, I absolutely loved Streat and would definitely come back for their other dishes and their lovely cafe + service! It’s student friendly, has amazing food and phenomenal coffee. I cannot complain in any way. Collingwood is definitely an area with some of the best cafes I’ve ever visited and Streat is...

Cromwell Streat cafe is located in the Cromwell street which is not the main street in the Collingwood area. The location wise is quite hidden and it will be difficult to find it if you are not familiar in this area.

The interior was really well designed, many plants which make it more comfortable to have breakfast and coffee in the morning. The ambience was very comfortable and relax; The music wasn't too loud also the customer service was great and friendly.

Ordered take away coffee from this cafe *mocha for $3.80. The price for a coffee is slightly cheaper than average brunch places. The quality / taste of the coffee was really great, it was a good deal. We really enjoyed having coffee in this cafe; They were pretty generous to provide free bread tasting in the small cup close to the counter and the bread (sourdough) was fresh.

They offer a loyalty card for coffee lovers, when you have collected 5 stamps, you can claim a free coffee to give it away to community (homeless people) which is great thing to do.

Definitely come back to try the breakfast / lunch.

who am i? a random customer, not from collingwood. i was passing through and in need of a coffee and a quick google search brought up "streat". the premises are beautiful indeed - very impressive. my coffee was good too. my comment here is motivated by the service.

there were three to four staff standing behind the counter having the best time - chatting and laughing. nothing wrong with that, except there were eight or nine people standing around waiting for their coffees around 10am. my observation was the staff were more intent enjoying themselves than getting those coffees out - there was no noticeable motivation or intent with the barista as she was too involved joking around with the other staff.

when my name was called out i went to collect my coffee, offered a "thank you" and was completely ignored - you know why.

i'm not going to attempt to denigrate this establishment on one exchange, but you only get one attempt to make a first impression and...
