This cafe is in a semi-local shopping centre, so I visit it quite frequently.
The staff are really friendly and welcoming, the coffee is good, and the food is delicious. My recommendation? The sweet potato shepherd's pie; AMAZING. Also, the chocolate coated coffee beans.
Not too expensive. A regular cappuccino and a regular hazelnut latte is $8.20, and there's no minimum eftpos, which is always a plus.
Travel time from Melbourne CBD: About 30 minutes.
Public Transport: Moderate difficulty. Catch a train from Southern Cross Station (Lilydale-bound) and get off at Blackburn station. Then take the 703 (to Middle Brighton) bus and get off at Forest Hill Shopping Centre/Canterbury road. It's inside the centre (I can't find a shop number at this time), on the ground floor near Coles.
Address: 270 Canterbury Road, Forest Hill.

L'Affagato Caffe
I am a little bit in love with this caffe. I started coming here when my previous favourite cafe in the world shut for renovations.
It has a great, fun atmosphere and really wonderful, friendly staff. I was treated like a regular from the very first day. And since I've been there pretty much every day for 2 weeks, I think I might be a real regular now. The coffee is great and the New York cheesecake is even better.
Price wise, they're pretty reasonably. When I go with my boyfriend, we get 2 coffees (a cappuccino and a hazelnut latte) for $7.50.
They don't play any music (none that I've noticed, anyway) which, in my books, certainly bumps up their appeal.
They're open from 9am to 5pm. But if there are still customers coming in, they'll stay open till about 6:30 (in my experience, anyway).
Travel time from Melbourne CBD: About 25 minutes.
Public transport: Easy. Just jump on the 907 (to Mitcham) at Swanston x Little Lonsdale and get off at Tunstall Road x Doncaster road. Then it's just a short walk.
Address: 3 Tunstall Square, Doncaster East.
Rating: 10/10 (Seriously. This is pretty much the perfect caffe)
