Mietta's Review
Visit any time during market hours and this place is packed to the rafters with coffee-a-holics and the joint is buzzing like a caffeine hit. The smell is beans roasting, the sound is beans grinding, this is a temple that all those who believe must visit. Apart from a cafe area, this is also a store selling coffee and tea making equipment, and take home packs of coffee and tea to be made at home. The coffee is great and Coffea just looks fabulous.
Other published opinions
The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "As the moniker suggests, this place is serious about its cup o' Joe. Beans roasted on-site sweeten the air with earthy Arabica aromas and there's all manner of shiny stainless extraction aides for sale"
The Age Cheap Eats 2007 "A visit to Coffea can make a market shop redundant. The staff have already done the grunt work, putting the market's best ingredients into crunchy panini of salami, olive tapenade, fior di latte and spinach."
The Age Cheap Eats 2006 We've all been there, loaded down with produce and almost finished the shopping at Vic Market when suddenly your blood-sugar plummets or a caffeine craving hits. Coffea is perfectly positioned for such emergencies.
The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "CHEF Jo Corrigan has Melbourne's best backyard. It's just a few steps am kitchen door to Queen Vic Market to gather the nectarines to roast and pair with sheep's milk yoghurt for breakfast"
The Foodies' Guide 2004,Allan Campion & Michele Curtis,'The best spot near the Vic market for a good cup of coffee.You may choose to stay and enjoy a light lunch here.Coffee-wise you can choose from a plethora of beans...They offer decaffeeinated and more unusual varieties such as New Guinea Peaberry,as well as a range of espresso machines,percolaters and soft drinks.'
The Age Cheap Eats 2004,Somewhere really special,Excellent breakfasts,'The heady aroma of roasting beans lures Victoria Market shoppers to this coffee shop,but it's sunny timber-and-cream space and innovative seasonal food listed on the blackboard that persuades them to linger.'
The Age, Sunday Life, Eat Streets, John Lethlean, 13/7/03. Makes great coffee.
The Age, 01.08.00, Necia Hall "Drop in, tune in to the cheerful patter and drink some of the freshest espresso around - inside among the coffee equipage or outside under the bullnose veranda. As the shop signage indicates, the recently opened Coffea is more than a cafe: 'torrefazione-bottega' means roasting is done on the premises and it's an artisan's workshop."Or perhaps ...
