Small Batch Roasting Co’s North Melbourne coffee bar is a tucked-away cellar door down a Little Howard Street laneway, where roller doors, warehouse brick and the working roastery create a calm, quietly industrial room around the bar. Here house blends like Candyman and rotating single origins are pulled as bright, layered espresso and clean filter, with knowledgeable baristas happy to talk through the transparently sourced, small-producer coffees that sit at the heart of the space.
