Sometimes you just need a convenient spot to stop for a coffee when out shopping, and Little Sparrow in the Emporium is in a convenient location, making it a great spot for a mid shop pit stop. There is plenty of seating and the area is kept nice and clean. Service is efficient even though it is a busy location, and the staff were friendly and chatty on my last visit.
My coffee was of a pretty high standard, and I picked a yummy vanilla slice from the tempting display cabinet. It's my daughters favourite, so it was a lovely treat to share. There is a large array of swert treats, pastries and sandwiches, and they are generally fresh and tasty. This Little Swallow franchise is probably my favourite of all of their locations, and I find it a great choice when I need a coffee in a hurry.
I often order the skinny latter with 1 sugar here, and find that it's consistent and can honestly say this is the only Little Sparrow I'd order a typical latte from. I used to have it at Chadstone branch and it was a bit average. Little Sparrow is a chain so the quality will vary across the branches.
Perfect place for quick tea or coffee meeting. Service is quick and attentive. Easy to get a seat too. Love the little touch of my complimentary biscuit for my tea.
Will I be back? Sure
I have been at Little Sparrow in many Locations and I pretty much enjoy the quality of coffee and relaxed environment.. However, Emporium location is a bit noisy for sitting and chilling out.
I wish there is a proper shop there soon.
Good quick service and for a shopping precinct cafe it was really good. Coffee was good and my apricot danish was fresh and enjoyable. I liked the additional biscuit served with the coffee and it turned out to be the perfect spot for a pick me up.
100% lové thé staff hère. Made the experience just that much better. Great banter, love their vibe. Great coffee too. Can’t complain I guess
The one place I trust for my caffeine needs. Solid coffee stop whether I’m on my way to work or looking for a place to catch up with friends. Very speedy service and will go through a queue of people ASAP !
Not a gourmet coffee and afternoon tea place. But it’s a convenient place to get something to drink and eat for exhausting shopping, a good place to “leave” your partner who is get bored of shopping whole day. Heehee~
A lovely little cafe in emporium serving coffee and cake. I’m never disappointed in my usual order of a soy latte however it can get quite busy in the afternoons.
Always a lovely coffee shop to visit when we are at the Emporium. Beautiful coffee, my soy latte isn’t “milky”. Great selections of cakes and pastries. You’re lucky if you get a table straight up since this place is always busy.
It's a nice spot for an afternoon tea session.
Coffee was nice and smooth, very enjoyable.
Tried one of their mousse, super nice!
The seating area is nice, seating not many but it's very spacious.
Ordered the following.
Decaf latte
Long black
Rubis Mousse Cake
GF chocolate cake supporting a dome of Vanilla white chocolate mousse, cranberry and raspberry jelly coated in red chocolate glaze + vanilla ice cream
Portuguese Tart
Great coffee for a busy morning.
Rating is between 4 and 5. It could have made a 5 easily with better view and table setup. But nevermind, it’s CBD, always at its busy life, packed and crowded. That’s why we usually get the take-aways. Anyway, it’s a 5 because the coffee here is great!
Decent coffee and tea. Seating can get a bit messy on busy days. People tend to take a seat first before ordering despite signs on tables telling them to do otherwise.
Unlike other reviews from the past yr, I had a rather good experience with them. Cake was so good, I’d surely go back for it.
I began frequenting this Cafe on a daily basis a couple of years ago. Not only is the food and service excellent, but Jasmine, the owner is a human being from whom I have learnt much. Along with her two young sons who help out during school holidays, she is always happy, gracious and also an extremely generous human being.
Nice location, good coffee and competent staff.
I always stop by little Sparrow, it has great offerings, The cakes are just Devine and the coffee is probably one of the best I have tasted nice and smooth
