Proud mary is a very big coffee place in Collingwood. It is rated number 20 on Urbanspoon. They are also featured in the Age Cheap eats guide as well as the Cafe guide.
Here they really specialise in coffee and you can buy a bag of beans to take home.
You can watch them make coffees at the bar.
Despite what people say on Urbanspoon the service is fast and friendly. But I was a bit confused about whether it was table service/EFTPOS etc. Maybe some clearer signage would be good.
The place was busy as when I got there. I wonder what it would be like over the weekend when more people come.
The ricotta panckes were huge ($16.50). I couldnt finish them. But they were lovely and smooth and soft which I loved. But I couldn't stomach it all. I didn't really like the combination of mandarin and fudge; it tasted way too strange for me. The mandarin was tangy and the fudge was sweet. I'm not really much of a cream person so I didn't eat up all the mascapone. The mocha magic was huge ($4.50). And there was the right amount of coffee and chocolate to it which was brilliant.
I also got to try a sample of their filter coffee and it was really strong, winey and bitter.
Next time Proud Mary should have a smaller- kid sized hotcakes and meals for people with small appeitites. And with berries. They were seriously huge!
But the coffee is great and I'll be bringing my international students here.

Hi Sally.. we have started an app that lets you rank all your favourite Melbourne places. Please check it out, it would be great to know what the 'New International Students' team is "Liking" in Melbourne.

ReplyDeleteI shared the hotcakes and we couldn't finish it either - the hotcakes were great but the orange was overwhelming! Almost had the mocha magic too - wish I did now, looks amazing
