Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and good food and coffee. If I wasn't on holiday it would be a regular go to place.
Nice cafe with fantastic vibes and seating. Food and beverages are of good standard. The staff here are polite and thoughtful.
Looking for something a little different, this is a good place to start. Atmosphere is always humming and a good spot to meet for a coffee but not offensive for a business catch up. Coffee is good as are their sambo's.
Cool place. Friendly staff. Great coffe. Had chicken and waffles! Which I can recommend, but not if you need to do anything productive afterwards.
The portion was generous. Tried the avocado toast with beetroot puree. Tasted fresh, creamy and filling.
great coffee. awesome and super friendly staff. Best cafe in South Melbs I reckon
Coffee was visually pretty, but way too milky. Service was polite, attentive and friendly. A cup of Bonsoy Joe here is not cheep. The pleather bench seat is starting to look cracked and sad. Pleasing classic Melbourne cafe surrounds and decor.
Really nice cafe in South Melbourne. Had a real chilled vibe about it.
Food was very tasty. Everyone at the table went silent when the food came out which is usually a great sign.
Only suggesting is with the Rueben, I felt the sesame seed crust didn't work that well. But that's just me. Everything else about it was lovely.
Well worth checking out.
Small place but loved the interior and service was great. One of the best eggs benny I've had and the hot chocolate was pretty good too!
I would never discourage someone from visiting Deadman Espresso. I have been going here for years and the staff and coffee are always great however recently the food has lost the love and inspiration that it once had. While the ingredients used in their food are always great quality and fresh the meals i lack a cohesive flavour set. Perhaps it's just a change in the kitchen staff or the recent management change but the soul of Deadman just isn't what it used to be
Service was a hit and miss. First time was great and thorough, second time, it took over an hour to receive my breakfast and it was cold. Food-wise - the Eggs Benedict w Hash and Corned Beef is out of this world. Delicious!
Fried chicken and maple syrup waffles? Curiosity KO'ed good sense and a few minutes later this giant dish came out. The tender pieces of chicken had a light kick of chilli. The sweet-savoury combination with diluted maple syrup and buttermilk waffles was delicious in the first few mouthfuls. However because there was nothing else with it, the taste sensation quickly gave way to monotony and a sluggish feeling from all the oil. A busy brunch spot in a functional setting and polite service. I would experiment here again but probably with other dishes.
Flavour of the food has really slipped off over the past 12 months. Doesn't have the same quality of flavour. Had the eggs benedict and while all ingredients were of great quality and individually tasty, it just didn't make an enjoyable dish when all put together. Coffee was great and the staff were good too. But it was the food we used to love so don't think well be back
