Next Door Deluxe Coffee

It is quite disapointing to look for a good coffe place on Unilocal and end up with one of the worst coffee I’ve had in months. I ordered a long black and it was absolutely awful. Burning hot, too diluted, and without any flavour. The lady at the counter was kind enough to make me a new one, only to serve me the exact same watery crap.

What a great spot. Excellent coffee (I had a soy latte) and the fresh muffin, which was still hot out of the oven, was scrumptious. A busy little spot, the traffic volume speaks to the quality of their product! It’s so good, I’m going back for round 2 right now…

Next Door smells kinda funny. I think it’s a combination of the coffee beans and maybe the lacquer used to put the place together… you have to see the interior to believe it. Next Door Deluxe Coffee is literally plastered wall to wall with doors of all shapes and sizes (I feel weird even saying «wall to wall», because it’s ALL DOORS). I haven’t tried to walk through any of the doors, because I didn’t think it was possible – up until today, when I saw one of the smaller ones hanging open. What?! Is Narnia behind one of them? Now I can’t rest until I find out.
Anyway…
Next Door’s coffee is consistently delicious and fairly well-​priced at $ 3.70 for a regular and $ 4.20 for a large. Takeaway can be a bit slow, and a couple of times the guys have been too busy with making coffees and attending to table service to take my takeaway order, which is a little frustrating (yesterday the woman in front of me, a little more impatient than I am, left the shop in a huff). It’s only a small store too, so standing around and waiting for your takeaway can make you feel quite cumbersome and in-​the-​road. I much prefer to take the time to sit down in here and enjoy my consistently delicious coffee while pondering the weird smell.
There’s also a short food menu in here but as yet I haven’t taken the time to delve into that side of the business.

Good coffee, Comfy space with a unique décor. Great place to duck in for a quick caffeine fix!

Absolutely brilliant coffee. This café is my local haunt. Great for food also. If you go to Next Door for lunch, I recommend the BLT’s. They are to die for.
