Aunty Pegs

Melbourne
Aunty Peg’s by Proud Mary in Collingwood is a vast, two-storey roastery bar where a long, crescent-shaped counter, polished concrete and the hum of the roasters create a stripped-back, cellar-door setting devoted entirely to black coffee. At the bar, there is no milk in sight; instead, knowledgeable baristas guide guests through espresso, hand-brew and nitro taps, plus regular cuppings and classes, turning the space into an immersive, wine-bar-like studio for exploring some of Proud Mary’s most detailed coffees.

Austin
Proud Mary Austin is a bright, high-energy café on South Lamar where a long wraparound bar, custom under-counter espresso setup and wall of frozen single-origin coffees give the room a refined coffee-lab feel without losing the buzz. At the counter, baristas move through a wide menu of espresso, snap-chilled and deluxe pour-over coffees, guiding guests through house blends and more experimental lots in a way that makes this one of Austin’s most immersive places to drink Proud Mary in the cup.

Proud Mary Collingwood is a big, buzzing warehouse café where the long central bar, under-counter espresso gear and brew toys on display give the room a clean, high-energy coffee-lab feel. At the counter, baristas move through a broad lineup of espresso, batch brew and carefully prepared pour-over from their own seasonal roasts, and the café is regularly counted among the top coffee bars in the world, making this corner of Oxford Street a natural benchmark for Melbourne specialty coffee.

Portland
Proud Mary Portland is a bright, high-energy café on NE Alberta where a long, central bar, under-counter espresso setup and open kitchen give the room a polished coffee-lab feel without losing the bustle. At the counter, a wide lineup of drip, espresso and pour-over coffees built from their own seasonal roasts is brewed with calm precision, making this Australian-born flagship one of Portland’s clearest stages for their layered, fruit-forward style in the cup.
