Editor’s Note

Last updated 19 Oct 2026

Craftsmen Coffee (Thomson) has established itself as a popular neighbourhood cafe, drawing consistent crowds for its specialty coffee and cafe fare.

We note the general consensus on their coffee being top-notch, with mentions of smooth, rich, and expertly brewed options like the oat cappuccino ($7.3++) and latte ($6++).

Food-wise, the Grilled Chicken French Toast with Golden Sauce ($20++) and German Bratwurst & Poached Egg ($22++) are highlighted for generous portions and well-executed elements like perfectly poached eggs.

The maple bacon & ham quad omelette also receives strong recommendations.

However, we observe some feedback regarding service, with mentions of staff lacking warmth, and the Truffle Mushroom Pasta being a tad too al dente for some preferences.

Despite these minor points, the overall sentiment points to a reliable spot for good food and coffee.

We'd recommend visiting during off-peak hours to avoid potential 1-2 hour queues.
