Coffee Brand: Coffee Supreme
We’ve had our eye on Port Melbourne for some years now. We’ve watched the growth of Lego-land (the properties along Marine Parade to the Westgate Bridge), the fame of the Gringo Pizza (Mojos) and a cavalcade of businesses rise and fall in a seemingly endless succession.
Seven:am have plonked themselves in the pointy end of Graham Street closer to the beach than the casino, which we believe is a safe gamble. The venue is comforting without being crowded and the decor suits the vibe they are going for. You can see events posters, fixie bikes hanging from the ceiling, a MacBook for a register and a propped up espresso machine. This place has a vibe which is a little out of place here, in a good way. Port Melbourne overall is still lacking something and t is hard to put the finger on. Seven:am is a warm and comfy place to hang – it wouldn’t be out of place in Fitzroy or the like. The coffee is pretty decent overall and stands out in an area of sporadic quality. There is room to move here and we think they have the ability to improve even further, quite easily. The crew have the right attitude – a good mix of friendliness, professionalism and ability.
Through out our review process we have observed consistency across the two baristas who made our beverages. Our coffees have scored evenly with some variance but nothing too skewed. Seven:am have played a good hand with using Coffee Supreme, which is a brand whose blends can be volatile. However, the staff have worked well with it to present good coffee and with it a BackseatBaristas “recommended” rating. Good job guys.

Thanks Simon. Keep up the great work guys. And thanks for such an honest and useful review.

Went here yesterday (Saturday), indeed a nice coffee, albeit a tiny bit weak for my taste (only a bit though). Nice breakfast too. Great place to visit for coffee & food in the Port Melbourne area.
