Mietta's Review
Danny Colls of Cafe Racer et al, doesn't really 'do food' - his strength is making customers feel ultra cool. Here he repeats his successful formula using the same minimal menu, excellent coffee and great situation to good effect next to where Two Faces once educated Melbourne's foodies.
Other published opinions
The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "The name says it all: Coffee ... but should it be spelt 'Dahiing'? Oozing South Yarra glam, the minimalist interior matches the smart location, while strong Genovese coffee lures a polished crowd"
The Age Cheap Eats 2007 "Coffee, darling? Why the hell not when it's a full-bodied Genovese brew. Drink it with the paper at this snazzy white-and-chrome cafe where whimsy and functionality combine."
The Age Cheap Eats 2006 the staff work so fast you'll be out the door before you finish the business section. But despite the bustle, it's hard not to enjoy this spunky white and chrome eatery
Age Epicure March 1, 2005 "minimalist white interior of shiny, grey rubberised painted floors, chrome details, gorgeous Eames bucket chairs and hard flat benches of silver and gunmetal grey ... The menu is pretty much identical to Colls' first place, Cafe Racer on the St Kilda Esplanade near the marina"
Or perhaps ...

The Lawson Grove Shop Victoria
The Pound Victoria
Sit on a crate like seats on a footpath just off Chapel Street, look at the grooviness of The Pound. The service is friendly, sometimes, and the menu short but tasty.
