We weren't able to try the filter or batch brew, but the latte we had was pretty average. Would like to come back one day to give it another try.

Coffee roastery with sparse little cafe space primarily selling coffees and small sweet treats, this is not a full service cafe. The smell is amazing but personally I found the coffee served a little weak / bland. Staff were pleasant & knowledgeable about there beans

Honestly some of the best coffee I’ve had here in Adelaide, definable a unique and rich taste. 100% plan to frequent there and when I get my own coffee machine, buy my beans from there!

Saturday morning, brilliant weather! A wee wander down to my favourite local coffee destination. Ahhh life doesn't get much better! Only open 10 am 'til 2pm worth the effort though for a selection of great tasting coffees. The knowledgeable barista gives great advice on his products . Good place to buy fresh coffee.

First time trying Dal Mare for our Sunday drive coffee. The coffee was fantastic, with a very relaxed atmosphere. We’re looking forward to coming back to purchase beans and have more coffee.

We love the flavourful & creamy Red Catuai blend we brought home two weeks ago. So we ordered more of it. We were also keen to try the dark roasted Vintage Blend. - We placed it order for both beans on 10 October and they arrived promptly on the 18th. - We appreciate Jack’s personal service; and his communication is great. - We eagerly taste the dark roasted Vintage Blend beans. Its flavour & aroma is also excellent. Now it's just a matter of adjusting our coffee blender to perfectly match these beans. Thanks Jack. ——————— 27-Sep: Friendly service, tasty roasted blend of coffee, We are coffee lovers and enjoy brewing our coffee at home. We bought 500 gm of ‘Red Catuai’ blend of coffee home. We enjoyed this beans very much. Visitors also commented on the aroma & taste of this blend. Well done Jack.
