Prettiest Speciality Coffee Shops in Melbourne

 

Coffee is religion in Melbourne, so if you’re not a coffee drinker you’re basically not Melburnian. Finding good coffee in this city is no challenge, but finding pretty cafes is surprisingly tricky. In Melbourne good coffee is synonymous with black, so most speciality coffee shops tend to be dark and dimly lit. Thankfully there is a new wave of beautifully designed and light-filled cafes taking hold and proving that white can also mean superior coffee. Without further ado, here are the most beautiful cafes in Melbourne.

 

Vacation Coffee, Melbourne

Vacation
You’ll be hard pushed to find a café as stylish as Vacation which is an ode to the 80’s with pastel-pink and royal-blue features. Kick back, relax and enjoy a carefully crafted coffee in this sunlit space. The cutest touch is the pineapple print inside the coffee cup which reveals itself when you take your last sip.

Lights in the Attic features a soft colour palette of blush pinks, polished concrete and soft lighting. The interior might be gentle on the eyes, but the coffee is strong on the senses, exactly how I like my cafes to be.

Higher Ground, Melbourne

Higher Ground
This lofty space has one of the most striking café interiors in Melbourne. Interiors aside, they also roast and craft excellent coffee at the long, stainless steel coffee bar. This is my go-to pitstop before road trips, not just because it’s located right opposite the car rental office, but because no road trip would run as smoothly if it didn’t start here.
