Good Measure

A warm, timber-clad cafe and bar cutting through the traditional espresso noise of the Lygon Street strip. Those willing to brave the inevitable queues are chasing one specific high—the legendary Mont Blanc. It’s a masterclass in iced filter brew dynamics, crowned with a thick cloud of lightly sweetened cream, nutmeg, and fresh orange zest. Caffeine purists endlessly dissect the mechanics of that first addictive sip, where smooth, bitter coffee perfectly slices through the rich dairy. Beyond that signature pour, the baristas sling punchy IPAs and stellar vanilla lattes to a lively crowd. Pair a flawless dose of caffeine with their textural tiramisu cake—layered with chocolate soil and nuts—or a perfectly balanced matcha cheesecake. Throw in savory flexes like the ramen egg salad sandwich, cozy rustic interiors, and killer playlists. Grab a stool at the bar, watch the crew dial in the shots, and soak up the vibrant energy.
