5 I am a fashion photographer from Melbourne and I was looking fora beautiful cafe location to do a fashion brand shoot, we definitely had that at this cafe. I turned up and asked if it would be okay to shoot there and they had absolutely no problem with this, they were wonderfully accommodating. Thank you so much for everything, you made the photos perfect. Thanks guys!
5 was at coffee traders the other morning for breakfast, being served by this waitress named ayla. best service in a long time, she made me feel comfortable. i was eating alone but her kindness made me feel like i had a friendly face to talk too.
5 Huge shoutout to Ruby — absolute superstar barista! From the moment I ordered, she was so warm, friendly, and genuinely lovely. My coffee was perfect (clearly made with care and skill), and her positive energy honestly made my day. Ruby is a total asset to the team and the kind of barista that keeps you coming back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
5 I had two cappuccinos, and both were excellent. The two ladies who served me and made the coffees were Ebony and Grace, and they were both friendly and efficient and made excellent coffees, and both have pretty smiles as well. Well worth the visit. Enjoy!
5 Coffee Traders can be dangerous because you just drop in and somehow lose track of time. Excellent espresso, rotating single origin coffees, and a genuinely puppy friendly setup. Worth mentioning twice. Very puppy friendly. Sailor and Watson can personally attest to the welcome policy. They are regulars, always available for treats, and take their role as circus clowns very seriously. If you like great coffee, friendly relaxed vibes, and the occasional dog social club happening at your feet, this place is hard to beat. Consider yourself warned.
5 I visited today and had a wonderful encounter with Ruby! Was greeted warmly and was very happy with the easygoing communication! Absolutely will be visiting again, might become my new go to cafe!
5 I popped in recently and was honestly blown away. The coffee is always spot on! It's rich, smooth, and consistently well-made. The service is what keeps me coming back though. The staff are super friendly, attentive, and actually make you feel welcome the second you walk in. Special shout-out to the lovely girl who served me (Megan) she’s always so patient, upbeat, and keeps everything running so smoothly even when it gets busy. You can tell she really cares about the customers and the vibe of the place. The shop is clean, cosy, and has that warm local feel that big chains never get right. Easily my favourite coffee stop in the area. Highly recommend if you want great service and even better coffee!
5 Always great and friendly staff serving consistently excellent coffee. Their chicken toasted sandwich is very very tasty. Highly recommend this cute local favourite. Big thank you to Ayla and all the other terrific girls.
