On the semi-rural north-eastern edge of Melbourne, at the far end of the railway line in Hurstbridge, coffee is roasted in-house in small batches inside a carefully reworked older building. The operation is both roastery and cafe: single origins and blends are cut on site, and the same beans carry through to the cups poured across the counter, alongside a short breakfast-and-lunch menu. The setting leans on the town's village character rather than city polish — a fitting base for a roaster drawing green coffee from a rotating cast of growing regions. It has built a steady local following, and the in-house roasting gives it more depth than the usual outer-suburban cafe. Worth the run out along the Kinglake road for anyone chasing coffee roasted where it is served.
