A Weekend Guide with Petite Passport: Melbourne, Australia - Remodelista
Photography by Pauline Egge.
If a quality cup of coffee is what you’re after, you must visit Melbourne. Named the Coffee Capital of Australia, Melbourne, in our book, might just be the coffee capital of the world.

Best Brunch Spot
Tall Timber, in Prahran near Chapel Street, is owned by Steve Rowley and Matt Vero who earned their stripes in Melbourne’s hospitality scene with their other successful projects: Coin Laundry, Station Street Trading & Co., and Touchwood.
But you can go here for a house roasted coffee or a nourishing juice.
Pin-Worthy Cafe

Chef Pia Hambour and baker Georgina March opened Tomboy in Collingwood with the purpose of serving quality gluten-free baked goods.
Designed by Techné Architects, Barry in Melbourne’s Northcote neighborhood is the best spot for an extended brekkie, as locals would say.

Best Industrial Cafe for All-Day Breakfast
The dining area is made up of white painted brick walls, Windsor chairs, and monochromatic polka dots that are seen on the floor and the aprons of the staff (they are subtle and best seen in person).
Brothers Trevor and Steven Simmons run Industry Beans in Fitzroy, the Brooklyn of Melbourne. The two are incredibly enthusiastic about coffee and show me around the roaster and lab where they develop new brew techniques and pairings; think cold-drip and caviar.

Good for an Afternoon Coffee
The Perfect Japanese-Style Lunch
Mina-no-Ie is owned by Zenta and Megumi Tanaka, who converted an old warehouse into a welcoming environment. The Tanakas can be seen prepping dishes in the large open kitchen that looks out into the dining area, which is chock-full of communal tables and hanging plant life.
