"Conveniently located in Melbourne Central , @thepuzzlecoffee offers you a variety of hot and cold drinks, that you can grab on your way to work They also sell pastries and puzzle shaped cookies, but get there early before they are gone! Unfortunately I was too late, and was only able to try their cookies, which they were very yummy Did you know that you can get your coffee in edible cups? great way of reducing waste! Puzzle also plants a tree every 100 cups and each bag of coffee sold"

"The Hojicha latte is absolutely fantastic. I got it iced, and was actually a suggestion from one of the baristas there. All the workers were efficient and kind. Would defs come back to this location specifically, not only for its convenience, but service!"

"COFFEE FIX Been meaning to try puzzle coffee for so long and it did not disappoint. I enjoyed all the drinks, but surprisingly I really liked their yuzu sparkling! The strawberry matcha wasn’t as strong as I would like and quite subtle in flavour. Overall a good spot to get a pick me up - I also got their white coffee which was perfect. Featured: strawberry matcha yuzu sparkling white coffee Thank you for the invite."

"The coffee is generally enjoyable, but there is room for improvement when it comes to consistency, as the quality can vary from visit to visit. The shop itself is quite small, so it can become very busy during peak hours, often resulting in longer wait times. However, the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, which helps make the overall experience more pleasant despite the crowds."

"Friendly staff, delicious excellent quality matcha, but you have to be careful, luckily I had an iced matcha - the takeaway cups for hot drinks are edible and contain gluten, it’s great for the planet and those who can eat gluten. Environmentally friendly but sadly not coeliac friendly."

"Puzzle Coffee made a fantastic impression with its smooth, well-crafted coffee and genuinely friendly, efficient service. The staff were welcoming and quick without feeling rushed, and the quality of the coffee stood out right away ..... rich, balanced, and clearly made with care. It’s the kind of place that leaves you pleasantly surprised and eager to recommend, especially if you’re after great takeaway coffee and excellent service."
