72 Albany St (opposite the Central Library). (2/5)
Prices: Flat white – $4.50, Long black – $3.50, Mocha - $4.80
 
Atmosphere: dreary and tired
 
Service: prompt but we were the only people in the place.
 
Location: very convenient – opposite the library and towards the BNZ end of Albany St.
 
Food: by far the best part of this cafe. The Green Acorn offers heaps to choose from but in my opinion stick to the scones and muffins – they’re hearty and delicious.
I recommend if you come here go through to the back area, the tables are more spread out and it’s away from the street.
 
Overall:  I have a philosophy that you can tell a good cafe by how many people are inside. When a friend and I arrived recently, we were the only customers in the place.  The coffees were bitter and I suspect rather burnt and I eventually left the remainder in the cup when we left. 
The Green Acorn used to reside where the Good Earth does currently and since its relocation it appears to have lost its customers and its spark. If you want a coffee close to campus there are plenty of other alternatives – stay tuned to my reviews to find out where!
