Seven Seeds Coffee Roasters

Nice spot for lunch. I had the chilli scramble on gluten free bread - it was really tasty, but I would’ve preferred to have more than one slice of bread. Coffee here is top-notch! Great atmosphere - lots of people here on a regular weekday.

Seven seeds is well known for its coffee, and on a recent trip to Melbourne I decided to try it for myself . The cafe was situated about a ten minute walk from my hotel and quite easy to find . It has an industrial warehouse feel and was quite busy when I chose to visit . There are separate lines for eating in and take away , which is practical in a place like this . There is plenty of space , and long tables if you have a large group . There was chill jazz music playing , but it did tend to echo and was a little loud for me , but the overall atmosphere was chilled and laid back . They had a few gluten free options , and I chose the wasabi avocado - and it nice and light , but packed with plenty of protein as it sat prettily on the plate . The wasabi was quite subtle , and added to the overall flavour. They didn’t have almond milk , so I had soy milk instead , and it was a good all round brew and milk was silk smooth . I did feel though that I hadn’t tried enough , so had a batch brew on the way out - the barista was very knowledgeable and out the coffee in a extra cup for insulation. They did have quite a selection of pastries , and quite a few gluten free that I missed when I came in ( the take way line was long ) and grabbed a few to eat later at the hotel - I don’t know where these were sourced from but they were good ! The table service was ok , not overly friendly - but the barista made up for it was his obvious enthusiasm and knowledge of the brew . If I went back , I’d either go earlier or later because of the noise - but it was worth the time .
