Great breakfast, coffee good and very friendly staff. Great range of wholesome food. This little place is within easy reach of the City catch tram along Swanson Street tram number 1 or 6 View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Small Block:
Went in here to have coffee with friends. Three sepate coffees ordered. After 20 minutes the first coffee arrived, but not as odered by anyone. My coffe arrived 10 minutes later. My companios 5 and 15 minutes later respectively. Coffee was OK, if burnt to my taste. Not a word of explanation or apology from wait staff. When I went to pay I had to wait a further ten minutes. In fairness the place was busy and so noisy... View all feedback.
