On the Grid : Bows X Arrows Coffee

"Easily one of the most highly regarded cafe/roasteries in Victoria, Bows + Arrows' Rock Bay location is a community lynchpin without a need to sing their own praises. When the weather's right, wide open garage doors invite you in; when the weather's not-so-right their high ceilings and bright roasting room allow for quiet introspection over a delicious brew. Bring your laptop or don't: this is the type of coffee shop you really don't need much to feel completely at home." - The Number

Great beans but possibly the least welcome I've ever felt at a cafe. It's a shame because the space is beautiful.

Highly underrated place for coffee in victoria, serving a top notch flat white every time:) Im guessing a lot has changed since all those negative reviews, the baristas really know what they're doing

Admittedly I was nervous visiting after reading the negative reviews. I purchase their excellent coffee beans online and wanted to experience it in person. My daughter and I were treated cheerfully and promptly and the coffee drink was better than all others I have purchased on this trip from the mainland. I will continue to be a customer from near and afar. Thank you!

As tourists used to the likes of Starbucks, Bows was out of the ordinary for us as the menu is classic and minimalistic, without the additives we are used to. However, customer service was excellent—they talked to us about what we liked and helped us curate a drink to our tastes, and they were very informative. Our coffees were delicious, as well. If we are ever back in town, we will return!

Poor Customer Service!!! The espresso was decent and I’m hoping to pull some incredible shots when I get home with the 4 pounds of beans I purchased. The negative energy and aloof attitude displayed by the female barista on Friday Dec. 17 was unacceptable. I understand covid is challenging people in many ways but it shouldn’t preclude the ability to be cordial and provide a basic level of customer service. There is also no shortage of ethical, quality roasters around, with exceptional staff and incredible single origin and blended roasts, so I won’t be recommending nor returning to Bows & Arrows anytime soon. I will also unfortunately be reminded of my negative experience when I’m grinding and pulling shots from these brands over the next few weeks. Update: Hathaway blend is nice and it dialled in easily but it will take a number of outstanding ristretto cortados to wash off the barista’s bad attitude.

That's some of the worst coffee I've ever had. Granted, it was drip coffee, but I don't think they should sell it. Nice service.

Grabbed a coffee passing by today and it was so creamy and delicious! So good I bought a bag of the same beans it was made from. 👏
