I spend a lot of time in Collingwood, both walking through on my way to somewhere else or visiting some of its many great cafes, restaurants, and bars. That also means drinking a lot of coffee in the area, which isn’t a hardship: the standard here is exceptional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of all the areas in Melbourne trying to outdo each other when it comes to third-wave coffee, I think that Collingwood, right now at least, is at the top of the list. Even more than next door Fitzroy<\/a>, the number of places doing super-interesting things with caffeinated beverages is remarkable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having now tried so many of them, I figured it was time to put together some recommendations. Whether you’re after a perfectly-extracted espresso with just the right amount of crema, the perfect flat white served in a cup you can eat(!), or a smooth, interesting pourover made from a bean you’ve never heard of and probably can’t find anywhere else, you’ll get it in Collingwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All of these places are very much coffee-focused, although most have a small food menu as well if you’re looking for an excuse to stay longer. Most sell beans by the bag and can grind them for you if that’s something you need, and some sell a small range of coffee equipment as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This isn’t a long list: it’s meant to highlight the best of what’s available, not just mention everywhere that sells coffee in the area. As new shops rise up and existing ones inevitably fall, this article will change over time, but there’ll never be more than a handful of places on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the sake of comparison I’ve listed prices and included photos of oat flat whites below unless they simply weren’t available, but in most cases I’ve tried the black coffee options as well. Trust me, they were just as good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
