Nice coffee, however we personally find gravity’s coffee beans to be less flavourful when compared to other coffee beans we’ve tried.

Tuna melt jaffa was good Ham and cheese toastie was awesome. Really good quality cheese to go with it all. Definitely recommend to stop by for one of these snacks. Coffee was OK, pretty standard. Nothing too special.

Great coffee spot. Their coffee is amazing, the best in the area! The owner will remember your coffee order after a few times, which is quality service! Also, I LOVE that it opens at 6am! I did recently purchase a coffee machine, so I haven't been in about 4 weeks now which makes me sad cause I do miss it! Oh and their blueberry muffins are to die for!

The best coffee shop in Australia. Staff are awesome and the coffee is great too. Ask for a toastie with pickle tomato relish. You will not be disappointed!

Just called in to get takeaway coffee (soy latte). Yes it was very nice. I did like the vintage 60's decor though, retro vinyl seats and even macrame blankets!
