Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"They provide many types of coffee and teas, you can ask stuff for try the aroma of your pick. The stuff was so nice and patient, and even asked if you wish to grind with your home coffee machine / moka pot / etc."
"These are exactly the beans that I was looking for (& they're fresh)! Honduras Fairtrade Organic with buttery, sweet, and silky notes - loving the taste of warmth coming out of it. Suitable for winter and mornings! The elderly lady at store was super nice, helpful, and friendly."
"Quaint little stall right at the entrance of the dairy hall, friendly staff with reasonably priced coffee beans. Coffee beans are of high quality, the richness and liveliness of coffee made from a pour over is indicative of the freshness of their beans, my first time seeing a bed that looks beautiful after I'm done making the coffee, almost looks like a piece of delicious chocolate!"
"I've been buying coffee from here for a long while, in person previously before moving too far away. Every single order is processed super quick and efficiently. I am always super impressed at their service. Plus, the coffee is delicious!"
"Fantastic coffee beans loved by both locals and travelers. The coffee beans are freshly roasted and said to be typically less than a month old if I recall. This is far better than buying commercial roasted beans from supermarkets that have been on the shelves for months. I personally cannot tolerate coffee beans that aren’t freshly roasted because it gives me terrible anxiety and caffeine crashes mid afternoon. This is why I recommend places such as these so you pay for quality. Initially unsure if they were open because there was no greeting till I asked if they were serving but afterwards the lovely lady was helpful in my coffee selection. Side note: Sometimes reviewers can’t tell you that we’re reviewing because we must write about our experience authentically. And we can be anyone from anywhere around the globe. I’m yet to try their selection of teas but might send my friends who are tea lovers instead. Anyway I’m really excited for my morning coffee in the upcoming weeks after purchasing two bags happily! Thank you."
"Here offers huge range of coffee beans and tea pots. Just that the Chinese staff isn’t very friendly and is very rude, probably because he doesn’t like his job."
"definitely will comeback and hoping that I can give it all try. the stall is small in the corner, but most of people are looking for it. they are not only into coffee, but all the coffee and tea equipments they have selling it. the staff is friendly and always ready to explain on the taste will suits you best. even if you dont know about coffee. trust me ;D"
"Coffee beans from all over the Planet Earth. From Ethiopia with Ethiopian Guji fruity with alight hint of lemon to Australian Gold a caramel flavour and a hint of cocoa grown on the Atherton Tablelands in Queensland to Organic coffees like The East Timor Organic coffee, sweet coffee with hints of lemon. Many coffees to choose from small custom coffee producers to larger growers. Prices are good 500 grams $28.00 to $22.00 if you bring your Bag back you get 0.50 cents off your next one, that's cool. I did an approx. budget. 500 grams lasts me around 14 days at approx 3 coffees per day, that's only around $2.00 per day..Niiice! The friend staff know about their products and always have a smile. They will grind the Beans for for whatever U need wether Stove Top coffee maker or a plunger. They also have a selection of teas and wonderful tea pots and cups which make for great gifts and a selection of great quality coffee makers like their stainless steel plungers which I use and have been using now for approx 5 years. Well worth a look coffee isn't a drink it is a way of life. "Farstar 04082025CE". Plus you are at the Queen Victoria Market sooo take a look Drinking Now: Coffee- East Timor Organic Sweetish taste with a hint of lemon. I will get it again nice after taste. Today picked up some Coffee from Indonesia: Sumatra Gayo, really like this one, Syrupy taste, Not bitter but had a Sharpe edgy after taste. Love this one has a good kick. Drinking now. February 2026CE Name: LOCKDOWN, a Blend of various South American and Ethiopian coffees. Official breakdown: Toffee . Dark Fruit. Boozy Chocolate. My taste buds analysis: Full body thick texture, Slight Caramel/ Toffee tasting, Smooth in the mouth, slight smokey feel with lingering Fruity taste. maybe the smokey feel is because I was once a smoker but that was 9 years ago on the 28th February 2026. Enjoying this blend 8 out of 10. Give it a try strong and tasty. Every interesting complex blend of flavours Also updating Atmosphere to 5 stars. Due to each day deing different, Sunday tourists and locals lots on food stalls and Crowded. If U want less people hit the market during the weekdays maybe less people and still the same wonder service with a smile and good coffee knowledge from the staff at McIvers. Oh don't go on a Monday or Wednesday why ? you might ask. Well because it is closed ok stay frosty and remember coffee is not a drink it is an essential service. A way of life. Nectar of the Gods."
