Just about every local has an opinion about where to get the best coffee in Melbourne. So many people have a favourite barista who has memorised their order, sometimes even making it before they get to the front of the line. Those with overly complicated coffee requests will have a preferred cafe that serves it up without judgement — we’re looking at you weak, three-quarter decaf oat latte orderers. And then there are the hardcore Melbourne coffee snobs who can smell a badly extracted shot of coffee before they even taste it. And don’t even try to serve them burnt milk.
But no matter how much you love your morning cup of joe and how you like to drink it, the best Melbourne coffee spots will have you sorted — especially if it’s a coffee roastery. These guys are the most serious about their caffeine-filled bevs, taking great care to create the best tasting coffee possible. Heaps of them make this list, so read on to find one near you.
