Hands down best coffee in Melbourne, and we've drunk and tried a lot of it. Love that they actually have a true small ice latte, most places if you want an ice latte you have to have a giant coffee with heaps of milk. Always great service too, they really know their coffee

After many years of average coffee in Eastland, it's great to discover a quality coffee.

Best coffee inside Eastland SC. The long blacks and doppios I’ve had had been outstanding. The presentation in Kinto cups was understated but very nice. I recommend having the coffee there instead of taking it away in paper cups.

Kudos to the whole team and Foster and Black Eastlands. Whilst renovating a store adjacent to the Foster kiosk, we were served by a variety of Foster team members. Each member of staff were engaging and represented the brand with excellence. As a tea drinker I cannot comment on the coffee, but my tea was perfect. Thank you for making our project a little more enjoyable.
