A Hidden Gem with Amazing Coffee and Even Better Conversations! I stumbled upon this coffee shop and was instantly impressed by the warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and the incredible aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The baristas clearly know their craft, serving up one of the best cups I've had in a long time. But what truly made my experience unforgettable was the conversation I had with Izzy. Izzy is not just a great conversationalist but also someone who brings an energy and insight that makes you want to stay and chat for hours. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to work, a cozy corner to read, or a lively discussion over a perfectly crafted latte, this place has it all. Highly recommend stopping by—not just for the coffee, but for the experience. I’ll definitely be back!

Just an awesome place! The staff are SUPER inviting. No pressure to have a conversation if you don't want, but are at the same time absolutely open to it. Always feel welcome here, and the coffee and muffins are on point!

Lovely cafe in Port Melbourne. Warm and cosy atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. We had the breakfast bruschetta and the chilli scrambled, both were delicious. Great coffee too!

I absolutely love The Coffee Tale – it’s my go-to spot for coffee in the area. The coffee is always delicious, consistently great quality, and exactly how I like it. The service is second to none, the whole team is super friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to Porsche, who serves me every time with a smile and genuinely goes above and beyond to make sure customers are looked after. You can really feel the warmth and care here. Highly recommend!
