Newtown Sc

Having tried Proud Mary's coffee in different cafes in Sydney, I was so excited to visit their OG store in Melbourne. I had very positive first impressions: the staff were super friendly and welcoming. I ordered the potato hash, which had the perfect mix of protein and carbs, with bacon poached eggs and potatoes (obviously!). It was a tasty and filling dish. Of course, I didn't leave without having a coffee, which was excellent! I'll definitely be keen to come back again!

Service excellent despite the queue during weekend I find it worth. Be aware though there is surcharge on weekend. Long black always my preference, not many places made good espresso but this one here never fail. They offer 3 choices of coffee beans which I tried two top one which both really good! Not bitter but real fragrant of the natural beans. Tried their potato hash which Is still my favourite specially the thick cut bacon 😍 🤤

It's been a long time since the last visit. The menu wasn't as exotic compared to previous visits so it took a few passes to figure out what to eat for brunch and maximise the experience. The scrambled eggs in XO sauce came with Asian greens and a fried bread stick that's reminiscent of the Chinese doughnut. I'd opted for a rash of bacon as well, which was on the lean side, how I like it. XO sauce is one of my favourite flavours and you can't go wrong with it. The place looked just like how I remembered it. Staff were friendly and chirpy throughout the visit. This place is a haven for coffee lovers, a great place for connoisseurs to check out the diverse range of brews.

Coffee was good and the staff were friendly. While I was pretty impressed, there were a few not so good things. I had the potato rosti dish. It was quite yum. Others had avocado on toast. One person on my table found the hot chocolate to be like warm milk and not very tasty. Overall for what we got, it was a little pricey. Reasonably easy to get to and plenty of parking near by. 1 he free spots worked okay.
