Søren MøllerMarch 17, 2018The coffee, the breakkie, the atmosphere, the fantastic service make you wanna make this your home away from home 👌
Sarah-Jane WyattNovember 24, 2017Super friendly service in a quiet spot away from the busy streets of Melbourne. Come for wifi, stay for the coffee (and cake)
K WMay 14, 2017Little hidden cafe in an alleyway with a quiet ambiance on weekdays. Selection of sandwiches and some specials on the board. Nice place to chill and relax.
Stefan LesserApril 11, 2017Cozy little place with great coffee and good food. Even great for working in the early afternoon, when breakfast and lunch customers are gone and it's not too crowded.
Candice GlossatApril 14, 2015Coffee is great. Had the breakfast special rolled brown rice porridge served with berry compote, yoghurt, walnuts and honey was amazing! Toastie goes well too. Staff not very friendly though
5hrpJanuary 9, 2019Great quiet place for a breakfast. Though food choice is pretty small. Please try chai, it’s authentic
ManuelMarch 6, 2016The breakfast is delicious and quiet affordable. Atmosphere is really nice and coffee is great.
Teresa GMay 13, 2017Coffee and lunch was very good. Tasty homemade light meals. Great find. Recommended.
Jason GolanNovember 18, 2017Super chill location a bit off the main road with great coffee and breakfast. Really friendly staff. Definitely recommend!
Get a side of bicycle with your coffee order at Little Mule. I am often here for the baked eggs in the morning. The Foursquare mayor gets a free coffee each day.
Amie SpenglerAugust 20, 2016Fabulous little place, really affordable. Baked eggs were delicious and the staff are super nice. Knew exactly who had ordered what 😊
Stuart CruickshankMay 11, 2016Super friendly staff, great coffee and the place has all the power outlets you'll need for a day of working!
Yousef ❄️September 25, 2017Try the Spanish baked eggs! Also, the banana bread here is an absolute delight!
TomfooleryApril 27, 2019They’ve either changed hands or changed their name... or both. Now it’s called Cartel Roasters.
Tracy MorganSeptember 7, 2016Splendid coffee, delicious food, phone chargers and wifi. This place can do no wrong. Love it.- C L.May 17, 2011The Pumpkin soup (soup of the day) was great! If it was soup of the day every day I'd be there all through winter :-)
RobertoFebruary 24, 2020I must’ve just caught The Little Mule when it was good for working. Now called Cartel Roasters it’s no longer so 😔
Chris SteffanoniAugust 23, 20124 star coffee. Strong extraction. Flavour. Good. Presentation. Awesome. Ambience. Good. Service average. Value. Good.- Sarah-Jane WyattNovember 24, 2017Great service, wifi, coffee and cake! Definitely worth checking out
- Ravi MijarMay 13, 2016Had the chicken sandwich with beetroot relish and toasted sourdough.. Was quite tasty!
Great friendly team. Make sure you check the facebook on lunch special!
Darren TeoApril 28, 2014This place is buzzing! With flies. Other than that, a good place to sit down and relax
Definitely try the Artichoke Sandwich - it's completely amazing. Especially if you're a vegetarian. It's actually the best sandwich I've ever tasted.- TomfooleryDecember 8, 2014Beautiful little cafe.. Damn fine coffee. Staff have an attitude problem though
AskMenJanuary 20, 2011We recommend coming here if you're in search of that lazy Sunday morning vibe - even if it's not Sunday morning.
Kent OoiMay 31, 2017Coffee is good, vibe is not bad, but waiting time for food is amazingly long! 30 minutes, waiting from average crowd to packed.
Baked eggs: one of my favourite breakfasts in Melbourne!
Josh CareyApril 27, 2018Fun games to play whilst you wait. Staff was nice, but food was pricey and they got my order wrong. Tasted nice though
Fantastic coffees here made by the bloke who used to run the machine at switchboard.

"The coffee by industry beans is consistently superb. Look for the Gold mesh filter specials. The food is also excellent. The French toast with crispy bacon, maple syrup and a spiced pear chutney 😍"
