Coco Noir

End of day trading saw their sandwiches and rolls discounted to $5. A simple ham, cheese and tomato on multi-grain sandwich was delicious, toasted.

Is there anything more relaxing than after an intense day in the city with kids to sit back and chill with a smooth rich coffee?

As you kick back and replenish the energy levels, the kids can dose up with more sugar in the shape of a cupcake or ice cream.

Well that's what Coco Noir just off Pitts Street has to offer. It is rather busy, so I had to get lucky and get a side table and position the pram in the very busy thorough fare, so "pram friendly" it ain't. ...read more

Good soy coffees and quick service here has me coming back. Also more likely to get a spot to sit here.

I had a banana cupcake which tastes very very banana'ery!!! You ordered at the cashier so it can be a little hard to juggle securing a table and ordering when you are alone an it's peak busy time there. Many comfy lounge to sit at.

Great little getaway within the Westfield. It is near the entry to the Myer Food Court.

Pluses are that it has decent (just) coffee, good teas, nice seating and is convenient. Downsides are that they have no strict eftpos policy (sometimes I am allowed to pay for a coffee by card, other times I am told the amount is too small) and they do not do table service.

All in all, worth a go.
