Australia has become increasingly well-known for its specialty\u00a0coffee<\/a>\u00a0culture, and nowhere is the love for coffee stronger than in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Our southern city has become home to some of the best-tasting brews, creating a coffee culture both serious and unique, and home to some of the country\u2019s most accomplished roasters and baristas.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee01\"<\/p>\n

So whether you are obsessed with your cold brew, love trying a great piccolo, or can\u2019t look past a cappuccino, here is a list of the 10 best\u00a0Melbourne<\/a>\u00a0suburbs\u00a0coffee lovers<\/a>\u00a0need to visit.<\/p>\n

1. Melbourne CBD<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Melbourne\u2019s CBD took a beating during the pandemic as work-from-home orders saw the city all but deserted.<\/p>\n

But now as restrictions have eased,\u00a0travel has resumed<\/a>\u00a0and workers have returned to the office, Melbourne\u2019s centre, its nightlife, and its coffee scene has re-emerged stronger than ever.<\/p>\n

\"Melb<\/p>\n

From a tiny nook of a coffee shop to Melbourne\u2019s \u2018magic\u2019 brew, it\u2019s easy to see why the city is home to some of Australia\u2019s best coffee.<\/p>\n

Coffee shops to try:\u00a0Patricia<\/a>\u00a0on Little Bourke Street,\u00a0The League of Honest Coffee<\/a>\u00a0on Exploration Lane,\u00a0Brother Baba Budan<\/a>\u00a0on Bourke Street,\u00a0Dukes Coffee Roasters<\/a>\u00a0on Flinders Lane, and\u00a0Market Lane Coffee<\/a>\u00a0on Collins Street.<\/p>\n

2. Balaclava<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/div>\n

Balaclava is an inner suburb of Melbourne, 7 km south of the CBD, and set a few streets back from the affluent beaches of St Kilda.<\/p>\n

The suburb, with its large Jewish population, is famed for its stretch of kosher restaurants and bakeries along Carlisle Street.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, one of the true innovators in Melbourne\u2019s specialty coffee scene is Monk Bodhi Dharma located off Carlisle Street Balaclava.<\/p>\n

The coffee shop focuses on ethically sourced coffee and a sustainably friendly menu, Monk works closely with its farmers and suppliers.<\/p>\n

Coffee shops to try:\u00a0Monk Bodhi Dharma<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Batch Espresso<\/a> both on Carlisle Street.<\/p>\n

3. South Melbourne<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

South Melbourne, just 3km south of the city\u2019s CBD, is no stranger to a great coffee and coffee culture, with an abundance of local cafes making some of the best coffee around.<\/p>\n

\"South<\/p>\n

Cafe design and Melbourne architecture don\u2019t get much better than the beautiful Victorian townhouse that\u2019s home to one of the top brews in South Melbourne at The Kettle Black.<\/p>\n

Coffee shops to try:\u00a0The Kettle Black<\/a>\u00a0on Albert Road,\u00a0Clement<\/a>\u00a0on Cecil Street, and\u00a0St Ali<\/a> on Yarra Place.<\/p>\n

4. Collingwood<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Collingwood is one of Melbourne\u2019s hippest neighbourhoods with workers\u2019 cottages and converted warehouses, which today house offices, galleries, shops, and quirky cafes.<\/p>\n

\"Colingwood\"<\/p>\n

And in true hipster fashion, one of the best brews in Collingwood is housed in a converted warehouse space at Proud Mary.<\/p>\n

The husband and wife-run coffee shop has won several awards for its coffee and with its cold brew, espresso, fresh press, iced coffee, magic mocha, and much more on offer, has one of the largest coffee selections across the city.<\/p>\n

Coffee shops to try:\u00a0Proud Mary<\/a>\u00a0on Wellington Street,\u00a0Everyday Coffee<\/a>\u00a0on Sackville Street, and\u00a0South of Johnston<\/a> on Oxford Street.<\/p>\n

5. South Yarra<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

South Yarra is an inner suburb of Melbourne, 4 km south-east of the CBD.<\/p>\n

Aside from some of Melbourne\u2019s most prestigious addresses and expensive houses, the area is also famed for its trendy and upmarket shopping, nightlife, and cafe culture.<\/p>\n

\"Yarra\"<\/p>\n

You have to venture off the main drags (i.e. Chapel Street and Toorak Road) in South Yarra to find some of the best coffee in South Yarra.<\/p>\n

Coffee shops to try:\u00a0Two Birds One Stone<\/a>\u00a0on Claremont Street and\u00a0The Final Step<\/a> on Murphy Street.<\/p>\n

6. Carlton<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Carlton is arguably where Melbourne\u2019s coffee culture all began.<\/p>\n

In the \u201960s and \u201970s, Lygon Street was filled with communal, European-style cafes run by Italians and other post-war immigrants, who also brought then-novel espresso machines with them.<\/p>\n

\"Carlton\"<\/p>\n

European cafe culture has since spread to the rest of the city (and the country) and morphed into something uniquely Australian, but Carlton\u2019s original spirit remains.<\/p>\n

Coffee shops to try:\u00a0Seven Seeds<\/a>\u00a0on Berkley Street and\u00a0Vincent The Dog<\/a> on Drummond Street.<\/p>\n

7. St. Kilda<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Another affluent Melbourne suburb, St Kilda is renowned for its expansive view of Port Phillip, safe sandy beach, palm-lined boardwalk, fabulous old buildings, European-style cake shops, and cafes.<\/p>\n

The area first bloomed with the influx of cosmopolitan European migrants in the 1950s.<\/p>\n

\"St<\/p>\n

Known as Melbourne\u2019s beachside playground, St Kilda has long been a go-to destination for those in search of great food and drink.<\/p>\n

Sadly the highly rated Miss Jackson Cafe has now closed, but there are still plenty of other cafes to check out.<\/p>\n

Coffee shops to try:\u00a0Galleon Cafe<\/a>\u00a0on Carlisle Street and\u00a0il Piccolo Posto<\/a> on Acland Street.<\/p>\n

8. North Melbourne<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

North Melbourne is just 2 km northwest of the CBD, boasting Victorian-style terrace houses, a cosmopolitan demographic, and several popular cafes and bars along its upmarket Errol Street shopping strip.<\/p>\n

\"North\"<\/p>\n

Here you\u2019ll find the award-winning Twenty & Six Expresso Cafe which dishes out some of the best coffee north of the city.<\/p>\n

The quirky cafe has an unassuming little shop front, a small courtyard, and indoor seating for those coffee lovers who want to watch the world go by while pouring over a long black.<\/p>\n

Coffee shops to try:\u00a0Twenty & Six Espresso<\/a>\u00a0on Queensberry Street,\u00a0Auction Rooms<\/a>\u00a0on Errol Street, and\u00a0Di Bella Roasting House<\/a> on Leveson Street.<\/p>\n

9. Yarraville<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Yarraville isn\u2019t a spot synonymous with amazing coffee for most coffee lovers, but that would be because you haven\u2019t tasted a brew from one of the suburbs\u2019 best cafes.<\/p>\n

\"Yarraville\"<\/p>\n

Most of the cafes in Yarraville are located around or nearby the Sun Theatre and the main strip near the train station.<\/p>\n

This block has a small village-style vibe making it the perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon drinking coffee, reading the paper, and window-shopping.<\/p>\n

Coffee shops to try:\u00a0Cobb Lane<\/a>\u00a0on Taylor Street,\u00a0Wee Jeanie<\/a>\u00a0on Anderson Street, and\u00a0The Cornershop<\/a> on Ballarat Street.<\/p>\n

10. Richmond<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no shortage of friendly and welcoming cafes in Richmond for coffee lovers to refuel for the day.<\/p>\n

The hip inner Melbourne suburb is famous for its discount shopping, variety of food and drink, and trendy bars and cafes, offering something for everyone.<\/p>\n

\"Richmond\"<\/p>\n

Coffee shops to try:\u00a0Top Paddock<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Pillar of Salt<\/a> both on Church Street.<\/p>\n
