Small Batch Roasting Co.

Small Batch sits quietly off the main street, but the buzz inside tells you it’s well-loved. The coffee is bright, layered, and handled with care. Their pastries are worth a trip alone, especially the croissants and apple pie. Seating spills onto the footpath, and regulars often bring a book or just people-watch as trams roll past. The space inside is casual and warm, with staff who are quick to greet but never rush. There’s a strong sense of routine here, the kind that makes a place feel like part of your day. It’s also a roastery, so you can grab beans for home and learn more about what you’re drinking. Small Batch does what Melbourne does best: great coffee, quietly done, with no need to show off.
