Code Black Coffee is a Melbourne-based specialty coffee roaster with several cafés and espresso bars around the city. Rather than being a single destination, it is a group of locations that can fit into different neighbourhood plans—from a sit-down brunch to a quick coffee stop in the CBD.

What to expect

The Brunswick HQ is home to the roastery, café and retail shop. The café serves the roaster’s coffees in different styles, including filter and pour-over, with a rotating selection of single-origin beans. Other venues have their own character: the Flinders Lane location features a dedicated brew bar, while the South Melbourne café is opposite South Melbourne Market and serves coffee alongside a seasonal food menu.

The wider network includes locations in areas such as North Melbourne, Cremorne, Southbank and the CBD. Some are full cafés; others are espresso bars with takeaway coffee and retail beans. Check the official locations page to confirm which branches are operating and what each one offers before setting out.

Choosing a location

Brunswick HQ: A useful choice for visitors interested in the roastery as well as a café stop.
Flinders Lane: Convenient for exploring Melbourne’s central laneways and trying coffees at its dedicated brew bar.
South Melbourne: Easy to pair with a visit to South Melbourne Market.
CBD espresso bars: Practical for a quick coffee while exploring the city centre or travelling through Southern Cross Station.

Menus, services and opening hours vary by location and may change. Check the café’s own page before visiting, especially if you have a particular branch or menu in mind.

Tips for your visit

Choose a branch based on your plans: Brunswick for the roastery café, Flinders Lane for a central sit-down stop, or South Melbourne to combine coffee with the market.
If you enjoy trying different beans, ask what single-origin coffees are available that day; the selection can rotate.
Confirm the exact branch address and current opening hours on the official website before travelling. Some locations are espresso bars rather than full cafés.
