135 Victoria Avenue
Albert Park VIC 3206

Well you know what, this place should’ve been reviewed a long time ago, it’ my local hang out, my local caffeine stop.
You see as ridiculous as this may sound I don’t own a coffee machine, why, you may ask? Well one they’re really high maintenance to keep clean properly, two, the beans always go stale and three why sit at home drinking coffee when there are so many beautiful places to go out there and discover and support.
Well this place is my place! Ambience, Cool, Trendy and LOCATION.
Bayside in chic Albert Park, it is a café cum restaurant with a delicious menu, reasonably priced and above all excellent coffee.
Did I mention SYNESSO? I’m sure I did! That magic word again that sends my taste buds into an expectant frenzy….
As always my ristretto is perfect; smooth, with a dense crema, fruity hints with a strong citrus finish, chased with a café latte it is quite the experience.
My wife and I regularly enjoy this homage to Beelzebub’s Chalice, a perfectly prepared Devil’s Cup which leaves you craving for more. It is so good it must be a sin!
The team at PAGODA really pay careful attention to their customers and provide excellent service across the board at a very reasonable price. Combine that with incredible coffee and you have the perfect combination to qualify as a Melbourne Coffee Review HOTSHOT Café; I’m sure you’d all agree!!!!
2 huge beans and a big THANK YOU! To my local caffeine stop. Because of you I can get through an otherwise caffeine free weekend and continue the pilgrimage to find the perfect espresso around town.
