Roasted in Seddon, poured slowly.
Specialty coffee, Melbourne since 2014.
Three rooms across Melbourne, all built around the same idea: quiet enough to hear the grinder and nothing else.
219 Rose Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065
The first room, open since 2016. Music stays under conversation level and there is no takeaway queue past the bench, which is deliberate: the room was laid out so that people reading are not standing next to people waiting.
612 Rathdowne Street, Carlton North VIC 3054
The largest of the three and the only one with a kitchen. Batch brew runs from opening until two, and the long bench takes laptops in the morning and nothing but cups after midday.
34 Gamon Street, Seddon VIC 3011
The roastery counter is open two days a week, next to the drum and the packing bench. Bags come off the sealer and onto the shelf, which is the only place you can buy coffee roasted the same morning.
All three rooms are walk-in. The Fitzroy room seats 24 and fills between 8 and 9.
Full cream and oat as standard. Soy and lactose-free on request, no surcharge.
Welcome before midday at Carlton North, and not really practical at Seddon.
Outside at Fitzroy, inside at Seddon where the floor is concrete.
