I picked up a hot beverage from here this morning and not only was that impressive the stunning artwork on the cup was so visually delightful it made me want to break up with keep cups! Definitely brightened my day
Called past Story So Far this morning on my way to a 10am meeting. A tiny narrow cafe with plenty of soul and a wall of wine. Stylish coffee machine produced a damn near perfect latte. It would have been perfect had the tide not been out a little too far on my take away. They had pre made rolls for lunch but generally only sweet danishes, slices and cookies so I assume the place mostly caters to the grab and go clients. There was also quite a comprehensive spirits collection suggesting this might be a nice spot for an after work drink. A few tables inside but a heap more outside just waiting for those sunny sunny days.

I’ve yet to try the food here, however the coffee is nicely made. The colourful takeaway cups are fun and prices reasonable. I like their non-milk offerings, including coconut milk, soy, almond etc.
The story so far is ... promising.
Yes, the wait was long this morning, it was probably due to their meticulous barista that was operating behind a $33k Visions Kees Van Der Westen Spirit Triplette 3 group ... anyone would be "slower" and spend more time caressing this piece of engineering, just like when driving a performance car like a Porsche 911 Carrera S :-)
The shop is a reflection of what a specialty coffee shop should be; quaint, neat, good looking, defined, muscular (sorry ladies) ... it looks like a genuine credible dispenser of liquid gold that we craves in the morning ... midday and afternoon.
By the number of wine bottles and other hard liquor, this place dabbled as an after hour place to hang out ... packed with vino ... perfect happy hours.
There are some sweets and pastries on offer too.
I was satisfied with that $4.00 small latte, it was well made and has characters, this place is definitely promising ... so far. JT-29/03/2018.
This small espresso/wine bar tucked away in Southbank was such a cosy find. The warm lighting reflecting off the floor-to-ceiling wall of wine bottles with the sweet smell of coffee and fresh pastries was like a hug on this miserable, rainy morning. Service was welcoming and friendly. Despite a morning rush, my soy latte w/ 1 was made promptly and tasted delicious; I flicked through their newspaper while I waited. The floral printed cup was a very cute touch. Would definitely revisit if I pass through the area again!
What a great find on my accidental walking tour of South Melbourne. Great smell of coffee and chocolate. Has a great vibe and if I buy a place close by will be regular for me.
The place is not bad, but they change staff so often and the taste of our coffee pretty much depends on who happens to make it. Nice cookie though.
Love this place work around the corner and can't start my day with out a visit. There is no need to ask where someone from my team is going on a coffee run because the answer is always 'Story'. Great wine selection as well and if your not quite sure on what to get Ken will always point you towards a great bottle.
A funky little wine bar with a mezzanine, coffee and desserts. First coffee I had was fantastic, but the coffees I've had in recent weeks aren't as good, I guess it depends which barista you get. The girl with the tatts has a bit of an attitude problem. The little selection of pastries (chocolate croissants) are great.
This is one interesting business - part wine bar and part coffee shop. It is very tight inside but has a cosy feel. If you are game you can go up the spiral staircase to the mezzanine seating area. Just don't be over weight. It is a really tight climb. The coffee is great if you dine in but it is a little less impressive when take away. They have some outstanding donuts and muffins most mornings. They are awesome and well worth the $5. Definitely worth a visit for a good coffee or nice beer or wine in the evening or after work.
Story So Far, Melbourne, VIC, Australia ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is a little cafe during the day and next door there is a pizza and wine bar by night. A cute little neighbourhood gem, they only offer a handful of pizzas (only 3 of 5 available today) and a few different wine. No fuss kinda place and it's busy with locals either sitting in or picking up.
I like the feel of this place, very chilled vibe. Free sparkling water which is a plus and the rose they have by the bottle is from Provence, it's delicious and only $36. What a steal!
Pizzas (pineapple and margarita) were both yummy and hit the spot. Delicious crust. will definitely come back as we're around the corner, would love a bit more variety of the pizzas / offering but I get why they stick to what works and a small menu.
Such a great little gem. Went here to pick up a few coffees and some pastries. Everything was great. Quick, chirpy and prompt service. Despite the busyness of the shop, there was not a long wait.
Great coffee and the pizza is even better.. one of the best I’ve had! The owner is lovely too, highly recommend this place. I’ll be back!
Katherine and Ken were amazingly friendly and the food was absolutely delicious, as was the drink.
Atmosphere was great and the only thing I could even think to fault them for was that they were a little too popular on the night. If you have bar/kitchen/cafe experience, please head in and give them a hand to fulfil the many many orders I will be placing.

It was absolutely an awesome place, I tried the avogato drink, which I rarely see it as an option in Melbourne. I also tried the almond croissant, it was alright I guess. But the coffee was actually pretty good.
I also loved the outdoor area, it has a view to the st Kilda garden.
I definitely recommend it
This is such a great little coffee shop. I came across as I was doing my daily morning walk. It's right next to the Quest hotel so you can't miss it. It's great to go walking with a coffee in your hand early morning.
Greatest coffee spot and bar in the neighbourhood! The team are always on point , with smiles and service. This innovative space combines exceptional coffee (and the best fresh Chai in Melbourne!) , great bites and a fantastic curated selection of vino, beers and spirits. Check this gem out - it won’t disappoint !
