Loved the iced latte - one of the best I’ve had Value for money: found that the dishes are quite small and $4.5 for one empanada is a little much IMO. Chicken pesto toastie Doberman Empanadas The atmosphere was pretty nice and the place is vibing. Staff was super friendly.

Amazing! Sebastian and Alex provides the best service and hands down the BEST coffee in Melbourne. Definitely my new “go to” cafe. Worth the 500m walk from the office every morning.

Centro is just the warmest place for a nice coffee, meal and chat in the city. Both Sebas and Alex are so nice to talk to and welcoming. Will go every time I can.
