Melbourne is well known around the world for its welcoming cafes with exposed brickwork, smiling faces and delicious scents wafting above the heads of happy customers. As the coastal capital of the southeastern Australian state of Victoria, Melbourne offers plenty of unique experiences for tourists. You might find yourself lost in Australia’s first immersive 3D ‘trick-art’ gallery, exploring one of the many botanical gardens, watching a game of cricket, or even scouring the flea markets for a bargain. Melbourne is also famous for its beaches and surfing.
After all of that, we’re sure you will want to simply sit down and relax. So, check out our list of the top 10 cafes in Melbourne that specialize in artisanal coffee.
1. Everyday Coffee: Midtown
If you are looking for a no-frills artisanal cup of coffee then Everyday Coffee: Midtown might be your ideal spot. As one of the trailblazers for small batch brewed coffee in Melbourne, Everyday Coffee has been delighting its customers since its doors opened in September 2016. Although there is no kitchen on site, you can still expect plenty of delicious options, including Everyday’s own cakes and cookies, alongside a number of pastries and sandwiches from local suppliers.

This clean and minimalistic cafe is a great option for a takeaway snack and coffee. Fairly small, there are not many seating options, so be ready to grab and go. Alongside their selective number of sweet delicacies, they also offer superfood style bowls, which are both filling and bright! To the people at Industry Beans, their products are more than a snack, they are an art form, and the same goes for their coffee.
