If first impressions count, you might be disappointed with this place... it's not the prettiest or trendiest cafe on the block but my oh my, they do a great breaky!
Coffee today was spot on. And our smashed avo and eggs on toast were just what the doctor ordered on a rainy Sunday morning.
Service is friendly and you can tell they want to impress. Nothing was too difficult. Lots of staff members so I'd imagine peak periods would be okay although we were there really early and one of only two tables. Highly recommend!
This place doesn't just do coffee well, they also do a lot of yummy food during lunchtime.
The eggs Benedict was amazing here. Huge generous portions of ham hock meat and poached eggs drizzled with hollandaise sauce. Super filling.
Been going here for 6+ years and have never been disappointed. Delicious food, and coffee that I will go out of my way for. Music isn’t blaring, so it’s the perfect place to chat with friends. Owner and the staff are friendly and professional.

Great coffees. We ordered a latte and cappuccino. Both were strong and the milk was well frothed. Fast service and convenient location near parliament station.
A beautiful brunch! Absolutely loved it! Great service and very yummy and generous with servings. Well priced. If I lived in Melbourne I’d be a regular!
Delicious hipster dish. The salmon, aioli and haloumi was an amazing combination. Poached eggs were done beautifully. Generous serving. Friendly service, would definitely return.
Consistently punches about its weight. A sound option if you’re in this area. I’ve been coming here for years for coffee and meals and have never been let down. I’ve never been overly inspired either but nonetheless a place that offers good consistency like this one does deserves admiration and support. My cappuccino here this morning was lovely. Expertly made with a deep satisfying flavour. The young woman in the Nike trainers serving here is a superstar as well. Efficient, competent and pleasant and nice to regulars and irregulars.
The Coffee Exchange offered a myriad of options for breakfast, all so scrumptious! With a stack of reading material at the door, this cafe blends the traditional hospitality with a modern ambience.
However, my party had a bad experience with poor service.
Slow & Ignorant.
We did have to send a plate back as they replicated one of our orders, when we all ordered something different...
Very friendly staff and great service along with delicious food. Quiet and clean surroundings and the food was served promptly. Everything was fresh and of excellent quality. We went there for lunch before catching the Aladdin musical at Her Majesty's Theater. Very close and convenient.
Excellent place for breakfast. Had the chicken avocado bagel and almond croissant. Coffee was very good aswell. We stayed at nearby Park Hyatt and the breakfast there is overpriced. Better to walk over to Coffee Exchange (2min walk) for much better brekky!
Coffee Exchange is a brilliant little Cafe, the Coffee is really nice and they also have some really nice food, the Toasties are delicious and so are the Croissants, the staff are super friendly and welcoming, there is indoor seating as well as outdoor seating, I Highly Recommend Coffee Exchange ☕️🥐🥪🍽
Excellent Artisan Bagels for Breakfast. Nice Ambience and great service. Indoor and Outdoor seating available.
It was a quiet Sunday morning and an excellent breakfast. The menu is more sophisticated than most, not overly expensive and very tasty. Broccolini salad and Japanese pancakes were our go to. Highly recommended.
First time visited Coffee Exchange at 9-11/1 Little Collins Street (near intersection with Spring Street) and for brunch had the okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) with bacon, poached egg, Kewpie mayo, and crispy shallot. Excellent! Nice clean place seating inside and out under cover. Excellent.
Great place to grab a drink and meal.staff are friendly. Tables inside and out( covered too ) menu is interesting, have tried the deconstructed paleoburger, corn fritters sweet potato rosti~ all of them have the wow factor. The humble bacon and egg sandwich is my favourite., along with a mug of cappuccino. Can't beat it!
