This is one of my fave local spots ever. I used to live in the area, now I've moved away I come here every time I'm around. Had a delicious jumbo Mocha, a BLAT wrap (so tasty!) and honestly, one of the best juices I've ever … More had in my born days, a Watermelon Crush with watermelon, apple, lemon and mint, it was so good I walked back two blocks in the other direction to tell them. Service is always friendly, efficient and warm. Keep up the amazing work team. Love what you do, thanks for bringing heaps of light to the local community for so long. -

Really in need of a hearty meal; I received my food that looks and tastes like it was put together by a 6 year old who hates his life. Very sub-par meal. -

A super chill spot! It’s great to see that they’re always busy and I don’t mind the wait. One of the top five coffees in the area. I’ve only had a brief breakfast there, but was happy with it overall. It also helps that the staff … More are super friendly. A lot of cafes are hit and miss, but The Counter is always consistent. -

Coffee tastes like cigarette ashes.Beans must have been over-roasted, and that tiny toast should be on the bin not on the plate. -

My go to for really good t/a coffee with super friendly staff. Good range of food to grab on the go whilst you’re in a hurry on the way to work. I’ve never had to wait long and they always have enough people serving to deal with the … More hoards of tradies that come for the bacon and egg takeaway options. -

Great for a simple brekky, with daily menu special menu items. The menu is only small, but it is only a little cafe. The guy that runs the cafe is always friendly and helpful. The coffee is perfect and full bodied, the brunch foods are … More hearty and wholesome. The manager was so lovely as well, with excellent customer rapport. -
