I find that the Coffee they server is constantly the best coffee in Melbourne. Which keeps me coming back just for the coffee. For the first time I had a fresh pre-maid bun,it was no problem for the staff to add extra to it to suited my taste buds then they toasted half and keep half fresh for me it was so good. Staff are so friendly. Fantastic team Thank you all

Prison Break Cafe is my go to for a high protein breakfast. Chef makes my eggs to perfection everytime and the coffee is so so good. Great atmosphere and good tunes playing as well. If your in the West make sure you drop in and see the girls and eat up.

Typical industrial cafe. Nice service, had a well made salad sandwich/ roll which was fresh. Coffee... ok to good. Remember my fussiness when I say this please. Would go back if in the area. Overall a good experience with down to earth staff. Sometimes I go back if the staff are great people. Like seeing a friend.

Awesome place to grab a bite and always a great coffee. The guys and girls that work there always greet you with a smile and a polite service. The coffee is great, never burnt or bitter and the barista is always up for a chat while she makes your coffee. The place can get a bit cramped and loud during peak times but there's plenty seating outside to get away from the rush. With construction taking place in the area parking is non-existent but the cafe has a drive thru. All in all a good place to eat and chill out.
