I really wanted to like Macchina as they have 2 shops in my local shopping centre but they are making it hard.

I Love coffee and have an espresso machine at home. When i saw they were a roaster i was excited. If you go in for bean really you need to leave time, lots of time, because it takes them forever! The young staff on the register have often found my request for beans confusing and don't know what to do and its hard to get the managers attention as they are often chatting with their regular customer (which is nice because they are building a good community vibe but can be frustrating if you want something).

Last gripe is that they use cheap and nasty Soy milk. It really tastes bad.

The food they do is actually pretty yummy. Looks and tastes amazing.

The cafes both look beautiful, really stylish and its nice to have outside seating.

The Baristas are pretty good very professional and quite fast

I visited Macchina Espresso as part of my friend's recommendation for coffee - as I am a big coffee fan.
The store itself looked quite inviting as we walked in, however we were seated at the back in between stairs, coffee bean bags and a storage fridge that had an old watermelon slice. We were served quickly by the waitress and ordered two cappuccinos, a breakfast roll and a hangover breakfast.

Unfortunately, the table itself stank! Luckily, a couple left so we took their table instead which is on the side of the cafe - much nicer!

The food was nice - a little bit heavy and oily but fresh otherwise. The coffee was nice and smooth - pleasant but didn't blow my socks off.

Overall, I had a mediocre experience. If I were to pass by again I could just get a coffee to go.

Approximate cost: $12
