A great place to chilllax. The background music is great and service ******. I feel safe and comfortable. It was busy in the morning but the service was quick with a smile. Come in and check it out cause its one of the best ive been too.
Risked myself getting late for work to try this one š
I didnāt feel like going to the usual so I went here and it didnāt disappoint, especially when I was greeted so very kindly by the barista/cashier. Small gestures do really have a big impact on someoneās morning š¤
Thesr guys do a great little coffe food could use abit of work though in afew areas.
Though decent for a quick stop in if you are around the area!
Piccolo is a seriously cute little hideaway from the Chapel St bustle. I have not tried the food but the coffee is lovely and the staff are friendly.
I would love to give it a higher score but the wait times have recently become unreasonable. I had to wait 15 minutes for a normal latte. Not ideal in the work rush and probably not worth the wait.
Had a cheeky double shot latte here on Tuesday on the sidewalk chairs and it was fantastic. The super cool lady inside with the very short hair and see thru top was very friendly in between doing a little bit of chalk art inside. Coffee was super smooth. It's close to the corner of High and Chapel St so a little bit quieter than if it was right on Chapel. There's some free one hour parking just in St Edmonds St. Great place to watch some rich cars and hipsters slide past.
Found this by accident.
Comfortable ambiance.
Coffee made as requested, no arguments. ā
Pleasant, uncomplicated service. Will come again when next in the area.
I used to live just on the corner of this joint and enjoyed good, hot coffee in the mornings. I love that this place opens early as getting in before the work crowds hit is a definitely plus. Especially being a TINY space, waiting for coffee can get a bit pushy and shovy. Apart from that coffee is great and the benches outside are cosy enough to enjoy a catch up with a friend without the hustle and bustle of Chapel St.
Sat outside with the dog and a friend. Nice people watching and nice soft cushions on the benches. Service was friendly. Had a mix of the salads for lunch it was very lovely!
It's really nice to see a local cafe take the time and pride to serve it's clientele with genuine care and friendliness - that's what I truly observed here whilst enjoying brunch at Piccolo Espresso. The vibe at this cafe is really amazing and you're made to feel incredibly welcome as soon as you enter, not just because you're a paying customer. There never appears to be a rush here, even though the cafe itself isn't all that large.
In a word though, OUTSTANDING. The food selection is incredible, so much so that I couldn't decide. I was certainly torn between the claim of "best scrambled eggs" and my gut feel for panini. I just couldn't decide, so I asked for both and was absolutely delighted. And the soy latte was excellent as well - perfect temperature, great balance and taste and terrific crema.
The scrambled eggs were incredibly light and fluffy, with a creamy texture (as well as a decent density) that is kind of difficult to describe - but definitely amazing. And the panini - WOW!! The tastes that were activated from this delight were astonishing with an absolutely perfect balance of basil, oils and tomato dressed in mozzarella within Turkish bread. Stunning!!
The only two notes of (ever so slight) disappointment were extremely crusty edges on the toast for the scrambled eggs and a slight imbalance in the amount of mozzarella on one side of the panini compared to the other. But other than that, this was an absolutely terrific brunch and this cafe has certainly become an instant local favourite in the area for me, just off the "beaten track" off Chapel Street. :)
My mum thinks this is the best scrambled eggs she has ever had. I don't disagree they are good. The service is good here as is the coffee. Would come again if in the area however there are other places around I would probably visit first. This place is true value for money!
Hot chocolate is legit and very homely! Itās a very affordable cafe. The only thing I could say is being more allergy friendly especially in a metropolitan suburb, I.e. cleaning out the toasters or having separate toasters
Cosy little cafe with free wifi and student specials! Itās open early enough for a coffee before work and the dude behind the coffee machine is super friendly. The other staff however arenāt as welcoming
Great coffee and service, very cosy space, cool library room and good unpretentious food.
Wonderful place to order tea and coffee, customer service is amazing. Food and drinks are both really good for reasonable prices.
strongly recommend this place :)
Great coffee and lovely friendly service.
My flat white always tastes beautifully balanced. At most cafes, I order a strong flat white to make sure that I can taste the espresso, and not just milk. But at Piccolo, there's no need.
Creamy mushrooms absolutely delicious and very good value breakfast for two and large coffees under $30 definitely recommend
