Delicious coffee, honestly. Stronger caffeine, so I can really taste the coffee rather than overpowered by milk. Took a flat white so this was great with lactose free milk.

Billy Barista has so far never disappointed. The croissants are really good, probably among the best I've had in Melbourne, and the soy latte really yummy. The staff is always so friendly and calm, and I have never had to wait long for my order.

Came here on a Sunday morning & glad it was opened. Quite busy spot for brunch & coffee in Docklands area. The coffee was great, tasted on the stronger side but delicious & smooth. The customer service could use more work, like make sure they reconfirm what we ordered so there’s no miscommunication.

A great place for coffee, sandwiches. The roast chicken sandwich is full of flavour (thyme), and the bread nicely grilled.
