Industry Beans Fitzroy

"Located in the white-hot hipster neighborhood of Fitzroy, Industry Beans delivers on style, sans snobbery. On the winter menu you’ll find a beautifully plated omelette made with melted caramelized leeks and creamy Lebanese shanklish cheese. You’ll also see the usual suspects, like the classic avocado smash toast and cinnamon-dusted brioche, both cranked up with cheffy touches and techniques that play on texture, flavor, and composition. There's a killer coffee program to accompany the menu; beans are roasted onsite at the back of the restaurant, and each single-origin offering is prepared according to the method—be it espresso, pour over, or Aeropress—that suits its flavor profile best. In all, Industry Beans is an ideal way to start any day in Melbourne. It's also the perfect spot to hit on a weekend before cruising the nearby Rose Street Artists Market for unique crafts and housewares." - Krista Simmons

"More coffee laboratory than traditional cafe, Industry Beans leaves caffeine addicts wide-eyed. The warehouse complex in Fitzroy houses a dining area, a roastery, an upstairs "tasting lab," and training spaces for baristas. For drinks, the options are dazzling: Two espresso blends plus single-origin espressos; three single origins for filter coffee; and one cold coffee that comprises two single origins that are prepared separately before being combined in the glass. Food includes breakfast faves like avocado smash." - Dan F. Stapleton
