    I had the best almond latte and friends also enjoyed their coffee! Definitely recommend everyone to come and visit when coming to Mt Gambier.

    Searching for great coffee in Mount Gambier has netted me some gems over the years. The pressure was on with the existing rating for SOMA . Not far from the city centre or nearby shops and recreation hubs, do your step count a favour and visit them. Coffee was a nice chocolate note and milk at correct "drink now" temperature. I don't want a coffee that needs to cool whilst my old skool porridge soaks . Choc mint cookie freshly baked for the win.

    Passing through Mt Gambier for a few days, we stopped by a few coffee shops. We’ve come back to this place at least 3 times during our stay - the best coffee experience we’ve had in Mt Gambier. Always consistent, extremely speedy and the gluten free chocolate chip brownie was great too ! Small number of seats for a small quick bite and great for takeaway coffees. Thanks guys !

    Good take away coffee but no other choices other than take away even if you want to sit and have it there. Very basic toasted sandwich. Recommend if all you want is a good takeaway coffee, otherwise try somewhere else.

    Decent coffee. Food selection is very limited but I believe that they just really focus on coffee. Seems to be a busy place from the amount of people coming in after is. Service was great.

    Great little spot for coffee. Muffin was the best I'd had in ages and my daughter enjoyed her biscuit. Docked a star as the hot chocolate was not to up to scratch (too watery). My coffee was excellent though.
