Huh. Whenever a restaurant is hyped, the haters come out it seems. The last coffee I had here was the best I've had in weeks. It was simply incredible. Thought that the kedgeree was an interesting breakfast dish (colonial Indian) but didn't bowl me over. That coffee though brings the score up to a nine for food! Managed to get a table without a fuss, and we weren't rushed out. A nice little experience.

Excellent customer service. As usual I get a bit confused over the menu, but one of the waiters came over and explained to me what most things were and recommended some really nice food! It was also a really nice touch to have a glossary of terms at the back of the menu.

Went there the other day, don't believe the hype. The double ristretto was sour tasting and lacking in body, don't know how they are pulling any good shots through those La San Marco's they are using. However, food was quite nice. Won't be back for the coffee though.

Seriously don't believe the hype guys. Sheep following sheep? Based on the criteria above I can't justify the high scores other folks have given. Had a bad pie. Had to wait 20 minutes for coffee which is more expensive than others which is 100 metres up the road.

Great coffee - today's variety was Yeehah and it's great to see this coffee's 'tasting notes' paper-clipped to your lunch menu.

Had the roasted celeriac soup which came out creamy and with pools of pesto oil and a surprise package of a poached egg hiding under the soup. Organic sourdough on the side. All this for $10!

Dining companion had Mexican chili bean pie and said it was delicious. Other lunch items were the Cumberland sausage roll, casoulet, Middle Eastern tapas plate and poached ocean trout, romularde and pickles sourdough sandwich.

Great that they provide blankets for the outdoor tables and stools.
Lunch for two including coffees and mineral water was $33.

Service was friendly and down-to-earth - our waitperson had the funkiest eyeliner design - like a catwoman! Only gripe was that our order of a double ristretto came out as a single.

Definitely better value than my lunch time visit to Danks Street Depot. Wish this place opened on weekends.

A victim of its own success, over recent years Single Origin has had to remodel and expand into the street with more outside wooden tables and new awnings, and still they can't satisfy demand for their great coffee and reasonably priced food at breakfast. Monday and Friday mornings are the busiest as many local workers get their first real coffee hit after the weekend or the last before the weekend break.

Service is friendly and enthusiastic, though at times hard pushed to cope. The breakfast muffins are delicious, changing daily, and in winter staff hand out rugs for people sitting on the wooden stools outside. If you see a crowd queuing for take-away coffee, prepare for a long wait for yours, though it's worth it if you have the time.

Had a toastie that was very good, albeit a tad over-priced for what it was and the area. Service was slow considering it wasn't busy. The coffee is good here but its good at a lot of places in the area.

Can't understand the fuss/fashion magnetism around coffee generally. The senior staff and his staff obviously have a lot of it. They also over-respond and are very in your face. Avoid unless you're in the mood for something other than coffee.
