Excellent flat whites and smashed avocado toast with fresh spinach on site. Strange to go straight through the kitchen to use the toilets . Feels unhygienic and a pitty for such a lovely place.

Wow!! Terrific coffee AND amazing breakfast ! What more could I ask for on a gorgeous Sunday morning -- besides a beautiful relaxed atmosphere !! Winner!!

As a Melburnian, I think L'Espresso has the best coffee in Ballarat - it has a distinct Lygon St quality, with Brunswick grunge to boot. Eggs are great too. Service sometimes slow but always friendly .

Good coffee . Needs to add alternative milk options. Place is tiny so when busy it is really pack. Service is fantastic. And if you are a records fan, this is paradise.

Great jazz , ambience while enjoying your espresso and watching the world go by. Heavenly Apple cider spice cake ...

Delicious food and great coffee . But dark inside so sit near the window.

One of my top 3 places for coffee in Ballarat . Good food & great atmosphere. Can be a bit squashy when its busy.

I loved the breakfast bruschetta ! Nice crunchy bread , crispy bacon , yummy avocado , and succulent tomatoes :)

Fantastic breakfast , had the corn fritter with smoked salmon and poached egg , and great coffee too.

Coffee here is absolutely delicious! Food is very very tasty & great service. Recommend the fritter stack

Loved the corn fritter with smoked salmon and poached egg . Good coffee too.

Beautiful in the early autumn sum. I can feel my tablets starting to kicking already. You can see by "kicking" that I'm dictating this.!

Really great fresh cafe stylefood, often with great Jazz that you can buy right here in the store or just stop for the coffee and sounds Read more

Best European cafe experience in town . Dark, eclectic clientele , great coffee , friendly staff .

Try orange and berry cake , both are delicious!!!

Coffee is just ok, had bitter aftertaste. Use beanhunter to find proper espresso shops :)

Great coffee (skinny cap) and scrambled eggs and salmon for lunch !!

Ask for your coffee to be a bit hotter than normal.

Overpriced CDs, pretentious clientele and slow service. To top it off, NO FREE WIFI ! What is this, 1950?!
