Small cafe which has good coffee but when we tried to book for a group of 10 they refused to take our booking. This caused us to go somewhere else as its often very hard to get a table for more than 4. I felt it was unprofessional and although I would go back I would never recommend a large party to go there.

Nice atmosphere-staff speak poor English-coffee good but no better than st kilda, carlisle st or the pound in elsternwick. management staff are old sleazy men and they can be rude when it's busy, which is often. they paint pictures of boobs on the coffee-pathetic!

When comparing to the pound in Elsternwick Loco is head and shoulders above them. The pound is only a place to go when you want bad service and bad attitude. Their food is ok but Loco provides great service and value for money meals. Coffee is great and Chai Latte is right up my alley. I have not once experienced rude staff I have though experienced a good sence of humour at Loco....

I'm a frequent visitor at Loco. Yes, they are busy, but that's because its a fantastic cafe. I couldn't care less about management, i'm there for their coffee and food and for socialising with the management. Coffee is "Perfecto" and the food is delicious and always generously served.
The Pound on the other hand, is a nice looking Cafe with very little substance. Their prices are way too high but I guess soeone has to pay for their stylish decor. Can't even compare the two..

great friendly service with fab coffee. Very busy and often hard to get a table early in the morning. Try waiting for a table as it is worth it. The breakfast menu is great, especially the bircher muesli.

This place is OK but a bit over-rated. Coffee is okay but no the best ever and the place is a bit pretencious. You'd find cafes just as good (and better) in St Kilda East (try Carlise St), even St Kilda. Not much competition for cafes in Elsternwick at the moment, most places are restaurants or bakeries.

I thought I would check out cafe Loco after reading reviews on womow and have to agree with everyone. The food was great and the prices are very reasonable. The staff were very friendly and helpful and service was very good. It was busy but not overly so despite being a Sunday morning and we got a nice table with comfy seating. There is also outdoor seating on the pavement which looked spacious enough.

Love the coffee. Terrific bircher muesli and great eggs. I look forward to breakfasts here. It can get a bit busy but it's worth putting up with the crowds.

Such yummy food! The breakfasts are absolutely delicious and the coffee is outstanding. My biggest problem here is that I spend way too long deciding what to eat because there are so many good options.

the best coffee i've had anywhere in melbourne - with the most gorgeous latte artwork. really funky atmosphere - a real hidden treasure in the S.E suburbs. has an edgy class to it - not unlike the kind of cafe's you find in all the trendy streets in town. the only difference is u get all the good stuff that you would expect from a trendy cafe but without the pretentious service & prices that usually come with it.

so in summary - cheap + great service & staff + super awesome coffee = amazing cafe

A group of us went for breakfast midweek, so it was busy ! We had friendly, quick and efficient service - with a smile !
The food and the coffee was great.
There is a nice relaxed atmosphere.
