MELBOURNE | A question that I get asked a lot, unsurprisingly given Melbourne’s global reputation as a coffee lover’s paradise, is where to find the best of it in town.
We’re blessed with a lot of brilliant options throughout this city. One of my favourite roasters is Code Black Coffee. For brilliant coffee and food, I highly recommend the original roastery and cafe across the road from Barkly Square in Brunswick. The ethically source beans from around the world, and roast them on site. Their supply a lot of the top cafes in Melbourne, and even one of my favourite coffee shops in Tokyo, Koffee Mameya, uses their beans.
If you’re looking for something more central, however, Code Black also have a pop-up kiosk along the Yarra in Southbank. The range is smaller than the cafe, but the coffee is just as brilliant. There’s the main hot and cold brew styles on offer, along with chai, hot chocolate, a small selection of ready to go drinks, and a pastry counter. During the warmer months, there’s also things like ice-cream, and doughnut ice-cream sandwiches.
