Editor’s Note
Last updated 3 Aug 2026
We think Craftsmen Coffee (Thomson) is a reliable spot for coffee, with multiple reviewers praising its quality.
The flat white, in particular, seems to be a standout.
Food-wise, the Fried Chicken Waffle appears to be a popular and generally well-received dish, with generous portions noted by several patrons.
The English Breakfast and savoury waffle also get positive mentions.
However, there are inconsistencies in food execution.
While some find the German Bratwurst & Egg set good, the burger receives strong criticism for being overcooked, greasy, and poor value at $27.
The Truffle Mushroom Pasta's 'al dente' texture was too hard for some.
Service also has mixed reviews; while some staff are highlighted for being patient and efficient, others report issues like being asked to move tables mid-order or having to request missing components like maple syrup for a dish.
Overall, we'd recommend Craftsmen Coffee for its consistently good coffee and the Fried Chicken Waffle.
Be prepared for potential variability in other food items and service, especially if you're expecting a destination meal beyond coffee and a specific dish.
