"An early adopter of the city’s speciality-coffee wave, this impressively remodelled former auctioneers’ quarters is serious about its beans. Founded by the team behind nearby Small Batch roastery, it’s since been acquired by another of Melbourne’s coffee supergroups and is a haven for coffee fans looking to try more than espresso. Alongside filter coffee that uses single-origin beans from Guatemala, Kenya and Ethiopia, there are exemplary flat whites made with Small Batch’s Candyman espresso blend – plus iced sparkling filter coffees come summer and excellent food year-round."
