Charlie’s Coffee and Kebabs

If I could give less than one star I would.
Visited for lunch after doing a job on campus and ordered the chicken snitzel burger.
Was about to take the first bite and out crawled a baby cockroach.
Went back in to complain and the woman suggested in only crawled out of the napkin not the burger, either it’s a cockroach near my food!!! It definitely crawled out if the burger!
No refund was offered and I had throw the meal away!!!

I have had many kebabs here, they are always great and the bread & meat is fresh and tasty. They owner is so friendly. Coffee in my experience is always creamy and the right temperature. I would highly recommend this place. Thanks guys

If you go to La Trobe University — even for a visit, it is likely that you’ll end up having coffee at Charlie’s.
This café that also doubles as a place to get some damn good kebabs and toasted sandwiches, is one of the biggest stores on the campus.
I used to love going to Charlie’s and getting my morning coffee there everyday, I waited along with everyone else for up to 10 minutes to get my takeaway coffee and was content — Charlie’s seemed like the busiest café on campus so surely it had the best coffee, right?
Wrong. Charlie’s is busy because it is convenient and they make the coffee quickly and deal well with large numbers. It wasn’t until I started branching out and sampling a few other brews at nearby cafes that I changed my mind.
Charlie’s is great if you need a quick coffee and aren’t too fussy or are looking for a hearty lunch. The kebabs are still brilliant and positively enormous — I will happily queue for a while just to get one of these, but sadly I can’t say the same about the coffee.
