"Legit Brazilian açaí bowl, good coffee and sandwiches, great service"
"Friendly fun staff & yummy coffee & the best pistachio and raspberry croissant"
"Plenty of tasty-looking pastries and desserts, but didn't see any vegan option."
5 Prophecy Espresso is a small café with a big heart The coffee is smooth and aromatic, and the food selection is surprisingly generous. Cozy, high quality, and absolutely loved it.
5 i definitely love their coffee smoot, rich and also nice staff nice brownies come to visit them
4 Plenty of tasty-looking pastries and desserts, but didn't see any vegan option. Ended up only getting my usual Soy Flat White. Couldn't really taste the coffee, like almost a bit too much soy-mylk. But nice service and cute antique decorations.
5 Coffee was really nice, milk was perfectly steamed. I tried a Nutella croissant which was really good, but warmer would be better. The staff behind the bar was so nice, and I honestly liked the aesthetic of the bar, so small and cosy!
5 One of the best iced coffees around — smooth, perfectly balanced, and consistently great every time. The flavour is rich without being bitter, and it’s always made just right. Easily my go-to spot for an iced coffee that never disappoints
5 The perfect authentic Melbourne cafe, doesn’t get much better than their large cappuccino and banana bread toasted with butter
The coffee is a highlight, known for being smooth and aromatic, and their pastries and brownies are also well-loved.
It’s perfect for both—a cozy spot for a quick coffee or a relaxed breakfast or lunch.
Yes, dogs are welcome both inside and outside the café.
Definitely, the café’s casual and cozy atmosphere is great for solo visits.
