Cicalata is my special place, a place to read, a place for coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner, a place to meet friends, a place to sit and reflect, cicalata is my place away from home. Greatest spot in Carlton!

cafe seems good and the food is delicious but the management is not well enough.

some of the staff members are pretentious wankers but they do a great lime spider and roman sandwich. great window seats to watch the world go by…

Comment on Journal by Emma

It’s fast becoming the place I go to after I check out some books. I’ve been going to the library for about 2 years but just recently started going to the Journal. The one time I’ve had coffee was alright, not exceptional. I’m a barista working at a cafe myself so I won’t judge too much on that one cup, but again, not that special. I might try something else next time. What I do like is the chai tea. It comes already mixed with your choice of milk in a pot with some extra milk and honey on the side so you can adjust. And a tea strainer so you don’t get loose leaves in your drink-which I hate.

I haven’t tried enough to give my opinion food-wise so I won’t go into that. The ambiance is pretty nice. I like to go alone as well, because then I can get started on the books I’ve just borrowed. The staff-I noticed as well-aren’t the most friendly but I don’t really care about that. It can get quite crowded especially nearing lunchtime, so you might have to squeeze in at the communal tables. I haven’t found it too noisy to read there, and I’ve seen a lot of people do that. Nor is it too loud to have a conversation. All in all, I do like the place and I do recommend it.

I just came out of my first time having lunch at journal. I will not be returning. The lady at the counter overcharged us, then proceeded to blame us for lying to her. Apparently we told her we had more two coffees insead of the one we ordered. In the end, she agreed to “compromise” with us. Not impressed.

This is my local, and I’m so glad I’ve found it, coming from Northcote i was spoiled for choice, but since moving to Regent I was sad there wasn’t anything around, but then this gem popped up. Yummy food – that is actually healthy for you too, esp their special French Toast and “lean green eggs” with zata & Labne! the best coffee around and Fab service!best of all open all weekend and Monday!

This must be an old review, before the fire. I used to love this place. Now it’s gone slick, expensive and impersonal. Not recommended
