Beautiful coffee from friendly talented baristas, we were unfortunately victims of another coffee shop down the road. On our way back to our hotel we found Little Avenue and they were able to provide us some much needed palette cleansers! Thanks guys, keep up the great work

Easily the best coffee I have tried in Melbourne in all the trips I have made here. Liked their large Oatmilk Latte so much that I had a 2nd one in the same day when we passed the cafe again on the way back from our destination. The latte has a perfect blend of coffee and milk to create a very satisfying taste that you just can't get enough of. Certainly they are clearly at the top of their craft. The place is also stylishly decorated that looks contemporary and yet with an endearing appeal that can stand the test of time. It is brightly lit and has a nice view of the skyline of a part of Melbourne. There was an unceasing stream of customers coming in and out for their great coffee.
