Fax: 03 9729 6048 AFTER HOURS SERVICE (Emergencies Only)Is there a nook or cranny that Melbourne DOESN'T fill with a cafe? It’s true – Melburnians love their coffee. To be honest, sometimes that’s all they seem to bang on about. But it’s because very few cities in the world have a coffee culture to rival it. To feed the city’s love for the bean, Melbourne has spawned cafes out of its every nook and cranny, resulting in some of the most innovative, unusual and absolutely unexpected locations for coffee houses.
We searched high and low (literally) to find some of Melbourne’s most extreme and off-the-beaten-track locations for you to cure your morning coffee craving.So we didn’t have to search that far or wide for this one – just near the cafe-filled Degraves Lane, via a subway to Flinders Street Station, is the underground Campbell Arcade. Lurking in this alley is a coffee-lovers gem. Cup Of Truth is hidden downstairs and around a corner in the dimly lit and poorly ventilated underground retail and arts space. Serving only take-away coffees, it’s a hole-in-the-wall with a limited menu but fast-paced service. The arcade was opened in 1955 in preparation for the Melbourne Olympic Games and little has changed since. With pink tiled walls and thick roman pillars, there’s no need to add your retro Instagram filter here. Of course you can get coffee in a convent. It’s a religion after all. The iconic Abbotsford Convent has been carefully curated into an arts and entertainment precinct, fit with event spaces, studios, bars, a live music venue, restaurants and beautiful gardens.
The old Kitchen Annex which would have served the Sisters of Good Shepherd is now The Convent Bakery. Using two masonry wood fire ovens from 1901, it’s no surprise that the Convent Bakery is known for its breads, but we recommend their fair trade and organic coffee which is roasted, ground and brewed in house. Come for the baked goods, stay for the beans. Want to get high? At a whopping 297 meters tall, the Eureka Tower is not only Melbourne’s highest vantage point but it’s also the highest public viewing deck in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s on the building’s 88th floor at the Skydeck where you can grab a fresh brew amongst the clouds. Coincidently they serve Gravity beans here. Keep in mind that a $11-$19.50AUD entry free applies. Looking like nothing more than an inner city garden shed by night, by day this West Melbourne garage turns into a busy organic cafe. An easy stroll from North Melbourne train station, the aptly named Roller Door Cafe serves ethical coffee with quick brunches and lunches.
It has kept its rustic feel with mismatched furniture, milk crate seats, corrugated iron walls and graffiti-covered bricks…because Melbourne. You’ve probably been dragged to Ponyfish Island for drinks (or shown it off to your interstate visitors for locals) but what you might not know is that the bar is open from 11am weekdays (10am on weekends) to serve up brunch and coffee. The venue is accessible only via a set of stairs mid-away along the Pedestrian Bridge where extreme rain has been known to bring business to a halt due to being three feet underwater. Hot tip – don’t go when it’s underwater, you will be disappointed. A photo posted by Switch Board Cafe (@switchboardcafe) on Nov 21, 2014 at 3:13pm PST Switch Board Cafe is small. And given that it is indeed a switchboard cupboard, it’s totally makes sense. Located on the ground level of the heritage-listed Manchester Unity Building on Collins Street, it offers a couple of seats along with some vintage charm, delivering piping hot espresso, soups, retro cakes and take-away toasties.
One hour out of the big smoke and perched at the summit of Arthurs Seat on the Mornington Peninsular is Arthurs Hotel. Between 11am-3pm you can enjoy your long black 385 feet above sea level with sprawling 180 views of Port Phillip Bay. Did we mention they do beer and wine too? Prentridge Prison in Coburg began holding inmates in 1851, and embedded in its 120 year operational history are some of Melbourne’s most notorious names including Chopper Read and Squizzy Taylor. It’s here we find Jury Cafe, inspired by its criminal past but designed with colourful award-winning interiors. It’s well worth a look for the interior alone, listed as #4 in Designcurial‘s “10 Best Designed Cafes In The World”. If you’re heading to or from St Kilda on the 96 tram, you can’t miss this one. Mart 130 has turned an old station on Canterbury Road – platform and all – into an acclaimed coffee house and lunch spot. Nothing says Melbourne more than your tram pulling up right at the cafe door.
Stay safe and stand behind the yellow line. To add to the excitement, watch out overhead for flying golf balls from the nearby Albert Park Driving Range. While we’re talking transport, Green Park Dining in Carlton North sits in the middle of a busy – and we mean very busy – bike path, the Capital City Trail which filters a steady stream of flannelette-wearing fixie-riders through the northern suburbs. A sign of the times and the sign of a growing cafe, arts and music culture in the western ‘burbs has seen Rudimentary open up in Footscray. Although it’s housed in one of the most well-designed shipping container conversions that you’ll ever see, it isn’t the best place to sit down for a business meeting or D&M with your bestie due to the inevitable echo created by the tinny exterior, but it certainly makes for a lively place to refuel. Plus, their lead barista has moved across from North Melbourne’s Auction Rooms, meaning the party in your mouth will quickly drown out the party in your ears.
