Spring Street Grocer - Melbourne

For anyone coming to watch a show during night at princess theatres, would definitely recommend this place to grab a hot toastie and a coffee. The area is covered with restaurants and bars but this is the only place offering affordable hot drinks during a cold winter night. Though the coffee I had had cooled off to a certain amount, I was appreciating the fact that a place like that existed. There's also an adjacent shop selling all kinds of cheese, yoghurt, pastas etc. owned by them.

This is merely re: their coffee. Unfortunately, it was not good. All we tasted was milk and though ours were meant to be flat whites, we still had about 3cm of froth. Could not taste coffee. Service was friendly and polite though.

Ohhhh my goodness. My favourite dishes are MARINATED PRAWNS and MARINATED OCTOPUS. The octopus is generous in size. The choices from this deli are AMAZING. Why would you want to go anywhere else!

Great gelato and chicken cacciatore. It's a very small store

Walking past and called in to get coffees (flat white and decaf soy latte) which were terrible. Takeaway cup was so light I had to take lid off to check they'd actually given me some coffee but all I got was a couple of sips and heaps of froth. However I did like the look of the place with its nicely presented goods on display, mainly Italian pantry goods but also some fresh bread and a great looking walk-in cheese room. Also tantalisingly a spiral staircase down to..what...don't know it was dark (storage probably). So I don't know what to make of this place, it looks so appealing but the coffee, amongst the worst I've had.
