“ Bloody beautiful coffee! We got two iced lattes, different sizes but they were both delicious (sometimes not the case at other places) the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The donuts and cabinet food looks nice too. ”

“ Lush. Coffee is great, food options really good, interesting and tasty. Service fast and friendly. Whilst they lack space they make use of every nook. Inside is cramped but there’s always some room if you need. Only matters in winter as there’s also outside space. Prices are good, so is location, can’t fault them. ”

“ My absolute favourite spot for coffee in the CBD, maybe even Adelaide. Lovingly crafted food and drinks (vegan options available) are wonderful, but the staff are the delightfully charming cherries on top. The fun banter and kind service is just part of my morning coffee now. ”

“ Cafe with several fresh food options. I was pleasantly surprised with the satay broccoli salad - it was wonderful. Comfortable, clean and tidy sidewalk tables. ”

“ Very cute little spot off rundle street. The fried chicken sandwich is an absolute must try - in fact all the food looked amazing and was made fresh. Prices were very reasonable too. I got an iced chai which was just OK, very milky but had a good flavour profile. Service can be a little on the slower side but the food is definitely worth the wait. ”

“ Oh My Goodness, what an absolute Gem of a Cafe. I stayed 3 nights in Adelaide and my first morning i had a Burnt Coffee. Some Baristas believe you need Almond Milk to be a hotter temp, that is wrong. But Penny University know coffee. I could not give this cafe more praise. I've had breakfast twice with an eggs benny and an Almond Cap in a Mug and both times have been perfect. The second time sadly the water wasn't ready for poached but the sunny side up was the best fried egg I've ever had at a cafe. So many places get sunny side up so you go with the safe option of over easy. Thank you Penny University for making my experience amazing. I'll be back some time. ”

“ The cappuccino I had here was nice and very well presented. Coffee is a treat that I spend my hard earned money on, and so I expect it to be done well. This place didn’t disappoint. Thank you! ”
