John Gorilla, Brunswick West

John Gorilla recently opened up in our lovely 'hood, and what a nice addition to the local cafe scene. Already packed nearly every time I drive or walk by, this cafe is already a trendy hit amongst the locals. As for my experience, the coffee is hit or miss. At $4 for a small, or $5 for a large, they really need to ensure quality. However, I think because it's still a new business they're just working out the kinks.

I imagine once things settle all will run more smoothly (we waited a long time for take-away coffees the other day). They have one of those lovely windows attached to the barista area so you can grab your cuppa on the quick - love it!

The place is small but we managed to bring in a pram, and they've outdoor seating as well.

Haven't tried any of the bigger dishes, just the sweets which were lovely. And the chai tea - wowza! they make a mean chai, yum
