★★SpecialtyProperly excellent

Oldham Rd0.2 mi from Ancoats centrelast reviewed April 2026

The menu runs from pour-overs to the Magic, Melbourne's ristretto format done properly, and the staff will walk you through the difference before you order. The espresso stands up on its own.

The Magic, the Dirty, and an espresso that earns both.

Pour-over

What we love

  • Pour-overs on the menu alongside the full espresso range
  • The Magic (Melbourne's ristretto format) and the Dirty (espresso over cold milk) as standard menu items
  • Custom shot count on request; the baristas know why it matters
  • Staff walk you through the menu rather than just take the order
  • Multiple reviewers cite the espresso as the reason to visit
