This upstairs cafe bar tucked away off another Melbourne Laneway is a great destination for meetings, social gatherings or just delicious food.
The simple menu offers a good range and the focus is quality.
The Asparagus dish satisfies with a good amount of crunch and freshness. It smells good, makes you feel good after eating it and enjoy a great coffee whilst you look across Elizabeth Street at the Grand old GPO Building (H&M Department Store).
When your finished your meal, wonder around the retail offers from master craftsmen ranging from designer jewellery and leather works or even get a fresh new do at the barber.
This is a must for an immersive Melbourne crafted experience with food, drinks and so much more.
What a fantastic place! My service was great, especially from the waitress named Shelby.
Been here twice and I really like the ambiance. It's located on the 2nd floor with really chill vibe and spacious setting. Staff was really nice too.
Had coffee here twice, both soy cap and soy mocha was really good, definitely one of the best I've had.
They're creamy and not sour, the way I liked it. Cappuccino had a good amount of foam while mocha had a great ratio of choc and coffee with a hint of sweetness too.
I also got a complimentary canele (after sitting for almost 3 hours lol) and it was really yum!
Overall a great cafe to chill and have coffee!

4.0 Very Good
Captains of Industry occupies a unique space, not only is it a cafe but also occupies a space with a cobbler as well as a barber. We were brought out a menu board comprising of a few brunch items and sandwiches.
On tables were some antique sewing machines where we enjoyed a coffee. Latte was very creamy and had a distinct hazelnut flavour to it.
We followed up with some food, I got their magic mushrooms which consisted of various meaty mushroom varieties, goats cheese, miso butter (I thought was pesto sauce), some fresh herbs and a beautifully poached egg. Solid dish.
Grab a seat near the window as most people were crowded around there and it was much brighter than where we sat.
Interesting little place hidden away in an alley.Ā
The place was uniquely decorated and looked cute. Got a flat white and it was pretty good without sugar. They say if a coffee is good, you really don't need sugar!
Also this place is one of the top coffee places in Melbourne - love their coffee!
There is just purely something so Melbourne about randomly turning into a laneway you did not know existed, walking up a ranshackle set of stairs through a suspicious looking door, and finding a quirky little establishment hiding at the top. Ambience by the bucketload, excellent service and while a limited menu it did the job. Our only real sad part was we like our coffees in a much larger cup, but that is purely personal and did not detract from what was a really enjoyable experience.
Fresh herbs an perfectly made poached eggs.. bacon cooked just the way I love.
Coffee smooth and moorish.. freshly squeezed orange juice very fresh
Great place to hangout and have a chat with friends. We didnāt try their coffee because we dont feel like it and had their freshly orange juice.
Will I be back? Yes
This place is very more special than other brunch stores. Because there are a lot of handmade shoes. The food is very more delicious than some brunch, but the light of the place is a little darker than other place. Finallyļ¼It is as popular as other brunch places.
The coffee here is so good. Iād come back here just for the coffee. The ambience is nice too. Thereās an interesting feel, as youāre surrounded by a vintage interior sharing its space with a gentlemanās outfitter and barber shop.
Having said that, from the two times Iāve visited, the tables have been dirty before we sat down. Staff do take a while in clearing the glasses and plates. The menu is also limited (And thereās literally only one menu - that staff will bring to your table if you ask for it). The āSmashed Avocadoā ($17.5) was delicious and the portion size was just right. The āAsparagusā ($14.5) was average; too much salad in comparison to everything else on the plate. Not much flavour either. Still, both dishes had the nicest toasts with a spread of butter! **NOTE: Kitchen stops serving food after 3pm.
