Market St0.1 mi from Old Town centrelast reviewed April 2026

Old Town fills with cafes that trade on the Royal Mile proximity and not much else. This one roasts its own coffee and runs a deliberate filter programme; the V60 is the reason to seek it out, not the postcode.

Own roastery, V60 on the menu, Old Town address purely incidental.

Little Fitzroy Coffee.★★ Specialty

Takes its name from Fitzroy, Melbourne, and runs that reference seriously. Staff ask what you're after before they pour, and mean the question.

Room Rumours Coffee★★ Specialty

An arch beside Waverley where the roaster in the grinder rotates through European suppliers rather than settling on a house blend. Filter runs alongside espresso, and both get the same deliberate treatment.

the source coffee roasters★★ Specialty

Filter arrives bright and fruity, espresso rich and precise; both come from their own roastery in Old Town. Staff share extraction notes before you ask.
