Illy is a brand of coffee here in Melbourne. Hence they are also a cafe that specialises in coffee and hot chocolate only. There is only a limited range of food on offer. But they do sell some of their products such as coffee shots for $3.50 (sml) /$4.50 (large). They are an organic place and everything they serve here is organic. They use their own coffee blends to make the coffees.
Illy is only a 5 minute walk from Parliament station. It might be a bit hard to find, but if you walk past Trunk Diner you should be able to see a small sign saying "Illy". It looks like a factory from the outside.
The atmosphere was dark here. It was cozy and open here and looked a lot like a bar.

The gentleman that served me was warm and very knowledgeable about his products. He also suggested that I try the shortbread ($3.00). The shortbread was a bit too small but I did like the sweetness of it.
I was in no mood for a coffee so I had a hot chocolate ($3.00). This was quite nice and warm for a cold winters day. It was really bitter sweet, even after two sugars.
Since this place is near my workplace I'd love to come here again. This place is about a five to ten minute walk from RMIT city campus and if you just feel like an organic coffee or hot chocolate, you should come here.
