Slater Street Bench - Kurunjang

Probably the most decent cafe around this st kilda area where the coffee and service are reliable. My long black was better than I expected. Love it!

Cool hipster cafe without the hipsters for the corporate people of St Kilda Rd. Very unique layout with the counter in the middle and a bench on the window side with all the suits having their coffee breaks/meeting. LOVE the concept! Its chilled, comfortable and homely.. feels like a bar actually .. but instead serving coffee. Service was great from the asian girl at the counter, treated everyone equally nice. Ham and cheese baguette was simple and amazing! And the coffee was quality!

First off – I love this beautiful place! The interior is open and aesthetically simple but classy. I love the high timber benches with the low benches against the tall glass windows. The café itself is pretty much coffee and there’s a small selection of pastries and baguettes for those keen workers needing a quick bite. Turnover is fast, service is friendly.<br/ I’ve had the coffee before and it’s good. This time I decided the pastry. Was tossing up between the Simpson lookalike donuts or one of those delicious looking pastry and ended up getting the chocolate croissant… It was good. But I’m not sure whether it was a whole $5 worth of goodness. Pastry was really flaky and oily. Good amount of chocolate. Perhaps I’ll try one of those cheesy baguettes next time…

Killer coffee, great interior, friendly and quick and the only coffee menu you'll ever need. They also sell a cool selection of juices and cold drinks.

Nice ambience outdoors probably helped that it was a superb day. Friendly service but coffee was a little strong for my liking . Suits those that are into their strong coffees.
