Good Measure: Coffee by Day in Carlton

Good Measure is a café and bar on Lygon Street in Carlton, known for its coffee, sandwiches and easy-going, day-to-night character. The space combines warm timber details with plants and comfortable seating, making it a good stop for a coffee break while exploring Melbourne’s inner north.

Try the Mont Blanc

The signature Mont Blanc is the drink to look for. It combines chilled filter coffee with whipped cream, finished with fresh nutmeg and orange zest. The coffee’s cool, smooth base and the fragrant topping make it a distinctive alternative to a standard iced coffee.

Coffee is served alongside sandwiches and sweet treats. The menu may change, so check the venue’s current offering if you have a particular dish in mind.

A café that shifts into bar mode

Good Measure’s relaxed interior suits a daytime coffee stop, while the venue takes on a bar atmosphere later in the day, with vinyl music and cocktails. That shift gives the place a different feel from a café that closes after the morning rush; visitors can check the official website for current service times and details before setting out.

Finding Good Measure

The café is at 193 Lygon Street, Carlton. It’s a useful detour while walking around Carlton and the surrounding inner-north neighbourhoods. Check the venue’s website for the latest opening information and visit arrangements.
