Kilgour St Grocer — Restaurant in Victoria

I rarely write reviews and even rarer for me to write a bad one - if you don't have something nice to say you shouldn't say it at all - but i feel compelled to voice my disgust for the awful awful bitter swill that kilgour tries to pass off as coffee. Time and time again i am filled with regret after handing over money only to receive what could be best described as dishwater. I wish there was and option for negative stars because 1 star is not an adequate representation for the quality of their coffee. In saying all this i must admit that there was a time when this cafe had fantastic coffee and they still have good food and friendly service but a friendly smile and a tasty slice is sadly not enough to entice me from going down the road to your...
