There's so many cafes in Melbourne, new ones seem to be popping up every day. We like cafes and we like coffee. This site aims to uncover some of these great places.

Trieste Caffe (USA)

Trieste Caffe
601 Vallejo St
North Beach
San Francisco
USA

Round tables with mosaic tops. Cool intellectual/music type crowd. One or two laptops. No music. Very quiet, laid-back. Has an old 1950’s feel – the SF equivalent to Pellegrinis. Soft lighting. Welcoming. No attitude. As soon as you enter you feel welcome. People come and go regularly. You could hang but 30 minutes would seem fine. Tables and chairs outdoors on the pavement.

A long black is called an Americano as I believe they’re called in Italy. Single shot, little crema, but good flavour. Right temperature.

We had a marzipan croissant. Only cakes are available after 3 pm. Food is clearly fresh each day.

You queue then request you order. You wait and pay at the counter. Americano $2.50, Cappuccino $2.50. Croissant $3.00. (US $)

  1. Huh?

    What is this doing here?

    I thought the website was Melbourne Cafe Reviews?

  2. Heh, heh.
    Yes, fair point, but all is explained in ‘About’ page. Most reviews are from Melb however. No overseas scouts currently in action.
