MELBOURNE | Parlance Coffee is a small café in Melbourne’s CBD that I recently visited for What’s on Melbourne. Housed inside student accommodation complex ‘The Switch’, it’s a great option for your morning cup of coffee.
Beans are sourced and roasted small scale by Parlance’s house roasting label Encounter. There’s always an interesting selection of beans on the menu, ethically sourced from some of the world’s best growers.
There’s a full range of filter and espresso based hot and cold coffees on the menu, with a variety of milks to suit your preference. If it’s not coffee you want, there’s also alterative lattes like matcha and hojicha, and teas. The premium ‘聖人抹茶 WAKANA’ matcha latte is excellent.
To eat, it’s a selection of baked goods and toasties. Think Rooftop Honey and almond
bundt, fresh croissants, and strawberries and cream-filled layer cakes. There’s also a retail section where you can purchase beans and coffee equipment for hom.
Parlance also have another location, a take-away window in the walkway that connects CBD malls The Strand and Emporium. It’s a similar, stripped back offering with the same quality coffee.
