Vertical Espresso

Great cafe. Nice ambience. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Can get busy. Plenty of parking in front of the cafe. Friendly service, tasty food and good coffee. My only complaint is the Strawberry Frappe was sickly sweet. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu.

Disappointing Cappuccino I ordered a cappuccino and was quite disappointed. The milk wasn’t frothy at all — it felt more like plain warm milk than a proper textured foam. On top of that, the coffee shot had a burnt, bitter taste that overpowered everything. Not what I expect from a good cappuccino. Wouldn't recommend based on this experience.

Great ambience, very friendly baristas. Good flavorful coffee (felt like a dark roast, Ethiopia or similar), and Eggs Benedict were good, I would just remove the Italian-style spices that significantly affect the taste.

I haven't visited Vertical since before the pandemic. So nice to see that my favourite meal is still on the menu and hasn't lost any of it's quality or appeal. Bird Nest Salad with Grilled Haloumi, Croutons, Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Mixed Salad, Avo, Toasted Almonds, Lemon and Basil Pesto and 2 Poached Eggs is an extremely flavoursome treat. All of the components (and there's lots of them) combine perfectly. The dressing brings it all together. Thank you for a great memory hit. I also couldn't believe how busy it was on Easter Thursday. I had to wait a while to find a table.

19/2/22 Visited for a late light lunch and not disappointed by the Haloumi/Egg/Avocado roll - $12. Haloumi/egg cooked really well, fresh bun but perhaps slightly more than a smear of avo would be nice. The people are friendly, cafe kept clean (possibly a bit less of the miscellaneous 'stuff' on various shelves laying around) and prices reasonable. A good range of food items and a fridge full of various drinks. Will try the coffee next time.
