I like the look but wonder if it's an experiment in and of itself that we may never see the like of again?

We just tried Seven Seeds this morning and overall were very unimpressed! Coffee not great and the food was not good at all. Hot chocolate was excellent though! They have obviously slipped a lot since they opened a year or so ago.

I recently went to Seven Seeds and was surprisedly disappointed. My coffee was weak, bitter and tasted like a mixture of burnt milk and soy sauce when it was meant to be a latte.

Regardless of specialty blends, Brother Baba Budan or their upstanding reputation, I won't be going back there.

Their espresso beans are working very well in my Diamond Italia at home. My new favourite.

My sardine toastie was great but the coffee wasn't as good as expected.

Hi Japan Eats. Thanks, glad you like the blog! Yes the industrial look, whilst not unique, is still very "Melbourne", isn't it.

Hi toomuchinfo - agreed - what's not to love about warehouse chic? :)

Good to hear the sardines are good Cathy! Will order them next time.

Thanks Megaman! I reckon it'll be swamped with people from Melbourne Uni (especially the law school) once semester 2 starts.

Hi ailsa, thanks for your kind comments and especially for your New York recommendations! They're going into my little red book. I LOVE the Flatiron, can't believe I'll be there in less than a week!!

Hi Kymbos, as you can see from the suburbs I blog about I'm afraid I'm not much help about Box Hill (living in Richmond and not owning a car means I just don't ever get out there). It's a pity, as I would love to explore all the good Chinese restaurants out that way.
I'm not aware of any other Melbourne food bloggers reviewing Box Hill restaurants, but you might like to try searching through http://blogsearch.google.com/ or http://foodblogsearch.com
Good luck, and please let me know if you come up with any good tips! :)

Completely off topic, but do you know where I can get insight to Box Hill restaurants? Has anyone blogged about the plethora of asian food out there?

Any tips would greatly appreciated.

Kymbos.

Thanks for the review Claire - I am in Grattan St so this is right around the corner! I went this morning and the coffee was beautifully presented and tasted sensational. Loved the layout and the bike racks. It was pretty quiet this morning but I suspect this will change post-exams and once word gets out. Love your blog and as I am new in Melbs I am using as a reference point - loved Liaison and Porgie&Mrs Jones, both of which I visited after reading your reviews. Oh, and +39 as well! Do you still need recommendations for NY? If so try Burger Joint at Le Parker Meridien (finding it is half the fun - look for the neon hamburger), and shake shack at Flatiron(prepare to queue), Egg in Williamsburg Brooklyn for breakfast and Levain Bakery (upper West side) makes six ounce cookies that will do your head in!

Wow! This place looks pretty cool. I should visit it one day on my uni-break.
Lovin your blog by the way.

Um, I just went there for lunch and had the sardines. Yum. I do relish relish, and fontina. And a good coffee.. smooth. Lovely service too.

Thanks for posting that, Claire- Don't think I've ever been somewhere before that's said "we've only been open a week"!

Everybody loves warehouse chic.

Looks great! Interesting just how many Melbourne cafes/bars have that industrial thing happening. Where did it start, I wonder? The Provincial? The Malthouse?

Love your blog!

Jess: so did you go? What did you think?

Hi Ben, was nice to meet you too! Glad you like the pics, I love yours too. :)

Hey Ned! Skip the pecorino and kindly try the sardine toastie with onion and sherry chutney on my behalf. If it hadn't been so damn early in the morning I'd've gone for that one...

Hi Ryan, I look forward to reading your take on it. Oh, and I would pay good money to watch Day of the Hypercaffeinated Triffids.

2009-06-03T18:50:01.897+10:00

That's it, I'm going.
That "lab" in the middle looks cool too, reminds me of Species or Fifth Element for some reason? As long as the coffee plants don't mutate and freak out and smash the glass and run rampant across the city.

2009-06-03T16:23:47.067+10:00

wow, who is the handsome and thoughtful fellow in the first picture? ;)

I was going to have the Pecorino toastie as well but 2 flat whites got the better of me. I will be back

2009-06-03T15:30:46.200+10:00

Hey Claire, I love your pics. I've always wanted to try Brother Baba Budan, so I'll have to pay Seven Seeds a visit me thinks...

Great to meet you the other day at the bloggers get-together :)

Guess where I am going now?
