Officine Zero

Can't say the coffee is very good.... Very watered down and the staff I didn't find we're too friendly. There are better coffee shops in the stop. They do have a great range of cakes though. Edit: The owner response is pretty reflective of the service. Yes I did go to your shop. No I didnt like your coffee; which is my perogative. Yes I do prefer a number of other shops on the strip; also my prerogative. Feedback and reviews are an excellent way for good business to reflect and improve. It's disappointing to see that not only have you taken my feedback personally but you have attempted to discredit it by attacking the fact that I preferred another shops coffee. Does this mean you only listen to positive feedback? Perhaps then you could have focussed on the fact that I did provide positive feedback on your cakes which are great. Service speaks for it's self though with your response, so I'm glad it is here for everyone to see. Edit: I don't need to justify anything, this is a review of your service and product. Yes, I did come here with the purpose of reviewing both of those things. I think it is interesting that you have removed your initial comments as they were obviously damaging to your shop and as I said, showed the level of service that you provide. Reading the other reviews that are not favourable I can see it is your standard practice to attack anyone who provides feedback, so I have even less reason to justify myself. Hopefully you can grow from this experience.

Can’t fault this place. Coffee, service and ambience always at the top!

(Updated review) as stated just another typical Melbourne cafe, considering there is nothing special about waiting outside for 8mins for take away then waiting longer while the staff make feel bad for asking where your coffee is. Theres just so many other great cafes in melbourne that its easy to compare the great to the typical.\●/ ps. This is constructive feedback

Excellent coffee food and service.

Some of the best Italian food I have ever had. Quality ingredients. Staff are kind and friendly. Busy so book in advance. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

Favourite local lunch spot

Lovely cafe with first-rate coffee and hot chocolate! The ambience is enhanced by the positivity and the welcoming nature of the staff, especially the Italian gentleman. The food is also great, though could perhaps have just a bit of room for improvement, such as making sure the salad ingredients are ripe, or offering more inventive meals. Overall, it’s an exceptionally friendly place, worth coming just for the warm welcome!

We came across this place by chance on a Sunday where we had breakfast, coffee and the most delcious chocolate donut I’ve ever had! We’re back again today for lunch, sitting in the sun in the beautiful Tuscan styled patio. Panini’s and OJ are fresh and it’s hitting the spot once again. Highly recommend for breakfast, lunch, or coffee + a sweet!

Really authentic Italian feel. The courtyard out the back has been recently renovated and has a lovely feel.

I love this place - amazing coffee, delicious food, and such a nice spot to hang out. Check out the courtyard in the back - on a nice day you feel like you’re relaxing in an Italian villa.
