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.

Santu Coffee★★ Specialty

A working roastery on the Royal Mile, with the specialty programme to prove it. For this part of the city, worth the detour.
