Family coffee time

The barista seems to be doing a decent job with The Little Marionette coffee here. Latte ($3.30) was liked by the Mrs. The Babyccino ($1) served as mostly milk is a little scary in the hands of Miss 2 year old in case of spillage. My Cappuccino is quite nice with Ham & Cheese Croissant ($7.50). I wasn't expecting there to be any tomato as it wasn't mentioned on the menu and Miss 2 year old isn't keen on tomato at the moment. Would have loved the croissant to have a bit more of the crispy finish from the toasting. Service was friendly and there's plenty of seating upstairs.

Campos Coffee on the bus line 

Still clearly in its infancy with the main building under a fit out renovation this small stand alone cafe is well located next to a main bus stop. Although I think they'll need to improve their turnaround time for a coffee to be under 2-3 minutes to attract time poor commuters looking out for their bus to the city. My Cappuccino ($3.50) using Campos Coffee is made quite well with a strong hit of that signature Campos flavour to start which mellows to a more pleasurable finish for me. Taking around 5 minutes seemed a bit long a wait and the Mrs latte taking around 9 minutes was like a lifetime in coffee years. Babyccino ($1) comes in a ceramic cup and mostly milk which isn't the safest in the hands of a toddler but the plump pink marshmallow is the first to go with a big smile from Miss 2 year old. Housemade Pecan Brownie ($3.50) is smallish but yummy and goes down well with the coffee. There's limited seating in the process of being expanded amongst the garden setting which seems a bit makeshift under a temporary marquee in case it rains. Service was super friendly and I sense are still getting used to the space and working out their systems. If I had more time I would have loved to hit their housemade scones.

Coffee quote game strong

If you're looking for some coffee quote inspiration you definitely need to check out this cafe. There's some nice holistic quotes as well as you enter painted on the electrical, gas and water meter boxes. Fair amount of seating and some relaxed cosy lounges near the front suitable for kids to climb up on. Cappuccino ($3.50) was quite nice with decent amount of froth. Not quite sure what coffee they're using but I did see a Calima coffee sign so I'm suspecting could be this. Babyccino ($1) served in a ceramic cup and mostly milk so be careful in the hands of an accident prone toddler. The marshmallow and friendly service appreciated. Scrambled eggs and toast ($10) plus side of bacon ($3) had some nice eggs and decent amount of bacon. The bread pretty standard but a nicer sourdough would lift its game. Bacon and egg roll ($10) pretty generous in size as a breakfast hunger buster. Order and pay at the counter seems to be the go. I'm very curious to know what the Eccocino is on the drinks menu with rye, barley and chicory, maybe will try next time.
