Review Solomon Merchants - Albany

As I was walked in I greeted the fellow working and asked about a few things. He came to assist me then asked me if I had a mask. I stated I have an exemption, he insisted to see. I feel uncomfortable sharing such personal information with just anyone, this information I usually discuss with my doctor. I proceeded to share my personal information in my phone, then was asked to show ID to prove it was me. I only had cash with me as I knew what I wanted. I was declined service as "this phone could belong to a friend." Extremely disappointed with the service here and will not be returning to a place where I'm discriminated. What's next? Are they going to ask me if I have hepatitis and wanting to know more information about my personal life and where I live? How is this perceived as normal?

A wonderful selection of quality fresh herbs and spices, thanks to Solomon's we don't have to go to Perth for fresh spices! The best example is their cloves. They are so full and fresh and flavoursome, so much better quality than where we used to go for spices. I cannot recommend these guys enough.

A nice place to visit and enjoy a coffee and cake. And relax and enjoy the atmosphere

Owner: very unprofessional and quite rude, as soon as we plugged our laptop into the power point which was next the seat, he came to us and in a condescending manner told us that we can't use his power all day !!! We actually intended to buy some of their beans and local honey but not after the poor choice of words and decided to leave. There could've been a million other ways to ask politely and to give a reputable service but not treating people that way. On a positive note the coffee was good. In response to below comment: you have a fair point but you can't assume that everyone is a backpacker just because they look or sound different ! We do apologize for using the power without asking but that never occurred in any of the places we've been while we travel most of Australia. And as I said your approach as a business owner was very wrong, and for the issue you're facing a simple note either on the wall or the table would've been more than enough. We love supporting local business on our travels however this ruined not only the coffee experience but the whole place in general.

Great atmosphere! Love all the organic products they sell. Decent coffee.

Really great coffee, service and tasty food.

Best coffee in Albany and always served with a smile.

Great food, fabulous coffee...what more could you want.

First rate coffees which, if I were to be honest, are the best I've had in Albany to date. I've only had the one Lemon Curd muffin here, as far as food goes and it was enough to make a grown man cry. This is a classy establishment with a vintage ambience which, I'll tell you in confidence, if the owners provided some cushioned seating, would become known as Albanys Bermuda Triangle - you'd never be seen again!

What a fantastic place to have a really nice coffee. And the bulk food selection is incredible. The crocheted lampshade jellyfish are so good. Great talking point

Love the atmosphere , Delicious Almond Milk coffee . Food was delicious , will be back and recommend this lovely place !

Love the amazing bulk foods. So much variety and yes I am lucky enough to be here every week. Keep up the awesome work guys

The staff are always friendly and helpful. The sweet treats are 10/10. I love that I can grab a coffee and fill up my olive oil at the same time! Not to mention, one of the best coffees I’ve had �� thank you!

Bodycare Physiotherapy Exercise group walked to Solomon Merchants this morning and had the best coffee & cookies and staff are wonderful thank you for looking after the crew !!

Great coffee and mellow atmosphere, no duff duff music. Thank goodness. The food is very tasty and satisfying, also reasonably priced for the quality. THANK YOU Solomons!

Fabulous coffee and wonderful to be able to find a vast array of spices, flours etc in bulk. Keep up the great work.

Great coffee and wonderful customer service

I had the nicest piece of organic chocolate from Solomon's. Highly recommend it, and not just for the chocolate.

I'm impressed by the range of spices and bulk whole foods offered. I'm impressed well done guys xoxo

Loose leaf tea range is to DIE for! (Y) Superb English Breakfast and REAL Earl Grey!
