How we read reviews →Balaclava's 20-year Kiwi cafe institution. Coffee Supreme espresso and Melbourne's best sourdough toastie.
A retro, Kiwi-themed neighbourhood cafe with NZ memorabilia on the walls, a cosy welcoming vibe, and dog-friendly footpath tables.
Coffee Supreme beans with a single-origin filter option on Moccamaster, puppuccinos for dogs, feijoa lollies at the counter, and 20-plus years as a Carlisle Street fixture.
Genuinely Kiwi in identity, from the NZ memorabilia and feijoa lollies to Coffee Supreme, a Wellington-founded roaster.
Generally seen as fair value for quality coffee and cooked breakfasts, though a few reviewers flagged smaller dishes like the $24 green bowl as pricey for the portion.
