Dukes Coffee Roasters

Inside the beautiful old Ross House building on Flinders Lane is Dukes Coffee Roasters. It’s a beautiful space to drink beautiful coffees in, fitted with light wooden benches and green-and-blue tiled floors. They’re committed to ethical trading with coffee sourced from farms and small co-operatives that they bring home to roast here in Melbourne. There’s a wide range of brew options available, from your classic espresso cups to filters and a manual pour over The price of a filter ranges between $3 and $10, while an espresso cup any way will set you back a reasonable $4, or an even more reasonable $3.50 if you bring your own cup. The espresso blend is strong, acidic, with cherry notes, meaning it goes exceptionally well with the Matt Forbes pastries.
