Owner-run counter opposite St James Quarter. Brazilian-origin espresso and toasted paninis. Go for one, you'll order both.

Brazilian-origin espresso at a panini counter that takes the coffee seriously.

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.
