If there’s one city in Australia where coffee is more than just a drink — it’s Melbourne. Here, cafés are cultural landmarks, baristas are artists, and a morning flat white is practically sacred. At Cooee Tours, we’ve brewed up three iconic coffee experiences that take you from hidden laneways to behind-the-scenes roasteries and right into the heart of Melbourne’s most flavourful neighbourhoods. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a self-proclaimed coffee nerd, this is your sip-worthy invitation to explore the city one cup at a time.
From street-art-lined alleyways to brunch in Fitzroy and cupping in boutique roasteries, here are 9 reasons why Melbourne’s coffee scene is best explored with Cooee:
Wander through the cobbled laneways and colourful graffiti backstreets of Melbourne’s CBD with an expert guide. Stop at 3–4 iconic cafés for guided tastings and learn what makes Melbourne’s espresso culture so distinct.
Go deep into the world of specialty roasting with exclusive access to two of Melbourne’s most respected roasteries. Enjoy a guided cupping session, watch the roasting process live, and test your hand at brewing using Chemex, V60, or Aeropress.
Spend your morning café-hopping through Fitzroy, where brunch is practically an art form. Enjoy coffee tastings, a full brunch meal, and a street art walk through one of Melbourne’s coolest neighbourhoods — with optional stops at the Rose St Market on Sundays.
From Degraves Street to Hosier Lane, this tour takes you to the places locals line up for every morning — tucked-away espresso bars with unforgettable brews and stories behind the beans.
During the Roastery Trail, you’ll discover what separates a fruity Ethiopian from a nutty Colombian roast — and how brew methods impact taste.
Get your caffeine fix with a side of street art. Your tour includes scenic stops and photo opportunities in alleys bursting with colour and culture.
Poached eggs, smashed avo, oat lattes — whatever your vibe, Fitzroy’s cafés serve up a next-level brunch experience that’s as satisfying as the coffee itself.
Forget rushed tours. These experiences are relaxed, friendly, and all about real conversations with baristas, roasters, and locals who live and breathe Melbourne’s café culture.
All tours offer more than just a caffeine buzz. You’ll gain insights into brewing at home, explore roast profiles, and even get a sample pack of fresh beans to continue your Melbourne coffee experience long after the tour ends.
Melbourne Coffee Tours with Cooee are more than just a café crawl — they’re a cultural deep dive into a city that’s built its identity around coffee.
