Market Lane Coffee

I believe their coffee price is the highest in the town 😱. You will pay 5$ for just a cup of coffee. This is higher than average. The same cup from other stores would be cheaper and better in quality like Patricia for example. This is clear in the Google Maps photo. Just take a quick look. However, the coffee quality is medium. If you have time and want to get a real cup of coffee this would not be your first choice. I think this is the result of changing the staff.

It took me a while to get to Market Lane, but finally Mirko took me to their café at Victoria Market in Melbourne. We had a clear goal in mind: filter coffee from Kenya – of course. But we went for the Full Monty instead: While the super friendly and smiling barista brewed our Kenyan filter coffee, she served us a little teaser filter brew from Guatemala to get us ready for the big brew: Santa Isabel, washed Caturra from Luis Valdés – TASTY. The Kenyan coffee came from Embu, SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11 & Batian varieties, and of course fully washed. The cup was sweet and clean, juicy with a bright citric acidity and delicious berry, citrus and yellow stone fruit notes - LINGERING. While enjoying my French croissant, we got served our espresso shot from Colombia. La Esperanza: washed Caturra and Variedad de Colombia with notes of melon and black tea and a sweet honey finish. I remember this coffee very well from Boston – MOUTHWATERING. And then… we also tasty some sweet cascara, freshly brewed for us! What else can you ask for? Specialty coffee at its BEST! Thank you – especially for the amazing hospitality.
