Our hope is that this booklet will give you an insight into our community, direct you to visit these coffee destinations and inspire you to start or continue in this incredible industry we call ‘specialty coffee’.
MR. D FOOD AND COFFEE
WHERE BETTER TO START OUR CAFÉ SHOWCASE THAN WITH MR. D FOOD AND COFFEE? SHARING OUR HOME AND LOVE OF GIPPSLAND, VICTORIA, THIS STUNNING VENUE IN THE HEART OF BAIRNSDALE HAS SHOWN AMAZING LOYALTY AND TALENT IN SHARING COFFEE FLAVOUR. Open for breakfast, lunch and tea, David Schmidt (aka Mr. D) provides the freshest of meals and beverages around the clock. To handle the high traffic of morning coffee hour, there’s a coffee window around on Service Street. Get ready to be blown away by your delicious latte, made using our popular Blackbird Blend! If you’re sticking around, sit up to a delicious and diverse seasonal menu including a full wine and cocktail list!

SOUL SOUL BRUNCH
FOUNDED ON THE NEED FOR A COLLABORATIVE GATHERING PLACE IN CARLTON, THIS OASIS AMONGST THE CONCRETE DESERT IS AN ECLECTIC DESTINATION FEATURING A MENU OF YOUR FAVOURITES WITH AN ASIAN FUSION TWIST, BUBBLE TEA, AND STELLAR COFFEE. A fresh scandi interior awaits, combining exposed concrete, hanging studio strip lights, and a dark green paint finish. The atmosphere feels free and flowing, high ceilings are accentuated with layered white panels that stagger diagonally up towards the roof. The seating options include a clever mix of laid-back armchairs, spacey couple’s tables, sit-up brekkie bars, and group booths. If you’re one who likes a little flair in both the café ambiance and menu, then you won’t be disappointed! The Korean/Asian fusion menu is bursting with comfort food favourites brought to life with an Asian twist. I ordered their eggs benedict, and wow what a fancy eggs benny! Along with your usual, was added slow-cooked pork, sous-vided the night before, chili infused mushrooms, and crunchy apple slaw. An amazing combination that was not expected but certainly tasted delicious! Also topping the highly recommended list is their dragon fruit acai bowl and vegan-friendly salad. And to wash it all down, a bright pink bubble tea or a long black!

CLINKER
RATHER THAN TRYING TO FIND THE BIGGEST SHOP IN TOWN, CLINKER LETS THE COFFEE SPEAK THE VOLUMES FOR THIS CAFÉ. TO ADD TO AN ALREADY GREAT COFFEE EXPERIENCE, THE AMBIANCE FEELS OPEN AND FRESH, THANKS TO THE ABUNDANCE OF NATURAL LIGHT FLOWING IN THROUGH A FULL SHOPFRONT OF GLASS. Inline with a growing espresso bar trend, people love this quick coffee stop because there’s no pressure to sit down or eat in, and no waiters asking you ‘was that a table for two?’ On the other hand, if you’re needing to take a moment of relaxation, there’s sit down options including perching up on a stool by the window bench and enjoying almond croissant along with the morning sunshine.

TAILORED
ON THE CORNER OF KOORNANG ROAD YOU’LL FIND A CAFÉ ALL ABOUT A CLASSY YET COMFORTABLE CULINARY EXPERIENCE. REGULARS COME FOR THE ROTATING BATCH BREW, DELCIOUS SEASONAL MENU AND TO CATCH UP WITH THE ALWAYS CHEERFUL SANA TO INJECT A BIT OF SUNSHINE IN THEIR DAY! Tailored is the name of the game, well the name of Sana’s previous game anyhow, before becoming a successful café owner, Sana was a fashion designer. Sit amongst the scandi interiors, well lit by ample sunshine pouring through floor-to-ceiling windows with a plate of delcious eggs benny in front of you, and you’ll see that Sana’s good taste didn’t stop with fashion!

MR. CRAFTSMAN
IF YELLOW IS THE COLOUR OF HAPPY, THEN MR CRAFTSMAN PUTS THE SUNSHINE IN EVERYONE’S DAY. SITUATED IN A QUIET COMMERCIAL CORNER OF KEYSBOROUGH, THIS URBAN RETREAT AMONGST THE CONCRETE JUNGLE IS A REFRESHING SPLASH, AFFORDABLE QUALITY AND A FUNCTIONAL FRIENDLINESS THAT ONLY A FAMILY TEAM CAN PULL OFF. The fitout is like nothing you would expect from this commercial corner of town. A show-stopping mural of two hands reaching for a latte, features triangular pops of yellow and really gets those palates craving a delicious brew! Polished, concrete-finish, black tiles set a sleek city feel for the entire café. Cleverly contrasting the darker hues and industrial feel are the wooden tabletops furnished with black and yellow chairs. The space features a great mix of textures, both industrial and organic, special mention to the bountiful hanging greenery that adds a well-placed, relaxed yet sophisticated touch. We also love the excellent range of seating options, both indoor and out. From cushy comfortable booths, to the sit up brekkie-bar style stools and tables. Customers have left great feedback about how they feel comfortable doing a range of things from a nice sit-down lunch to a business meeting. Thanks to the ample natural light, even the back of the café feels open and light. This is where you can watch the baristas at work and choose from an amazing range of pre-packaged lunches and morning tea options.

CUFF
A THRIVING COFFEE AND WINE HOUSE, DOWN FLINDERS LANE, WITH A SIMPLE PHILOSOPHY OF BEING PASSIONATE AND PROVIDING STELLAR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Just entering Cuff is an experience. Push open the large doors to an open foyer, climb the semicircular tiled stairs of the old Customs House and to the right is Cuff. Trust us, you won’t miss it, you can see right in through the floor-to-ceiling modern glass walls, framed by modern black beams. The same glasshouse feel runs through to the venue’s entire street front, again, floor-to-ceiling windows allow plenty of natural light to fill the dining area. Those who get in first can enjoy an elevated seat that looks down and along the bustle of Flinders. The layout of the café works a treat for both dine-in and takeaway service. The menu is all about the seasons, an authentic and international range of comfort-style food. Always fresh ingredients, always the best flavour. If coffee is what you came for then you are in for a treat. Cuff has ZEST’s Blackbird Blend on the house for all milky coffee and Libertango Blend for long blacks and espressos. This blend of Colombian and Brazilian specialty grade beans makes for a punchy but complex cup, featuring toffee and nutty flavour notes. For the filter fans amongst us, you can enjoy a lavish round of seasonal micro- lots. At the time of visiting I enjoyed the Burundi Mageyo – wow talk about a mouthful of mandarin and vanilla! While we are humbled to supply the coffee beans, it’s thanks to the passion and experience each barista pours into your coffee that you’ll enjoy such a great experience every time.

DUTTON GARAGE
A COFFEE EXPEREINCE TO GET YOUR HEART RACING. WHETHER IT’S THE CARS OR THE CUISINE, THE DUTTON GARAGE EXPEREINCE CAPTURES THE ART OF YESTERDAY’S VINTAGE AND THE EXCITEMENT OF TOMORROW’S TECHNOLOGY Choosing Dutton Garage Caffeteria as the first cafe in the Zest family to use a La Marzocco KB90 was a no brainer. To showcase an industry leading machine like this amongst some of the most advanced peices of automotive technology was an honour. While most are here to see the cars, everyone is blown away by the stellar brews they can sip on whilst browsing the showroom floor. On the house is Corcovado from the Zest Espressist range, poured as a deliciously smooth long black or as a latte with any of your alternative milks. It hasn’t taken long for cafe manager, Moe, and his team, to figure that car shopping is hungry work, that’s why there is a bumper menu of comfort food options - fuelling the appetite for all things of fine taste.

A HIP MENU OF GLOBAL FLAVOURS AND OF COURSE A BUMPER COFFEE SERVICE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF THE MANY DRAW CARDS THAT GET LOCALS FLOCKING TO THIS SPACIOUS AND RELAXING SOCIAL SPACE. Hendricks feels like the ‘older sister’ to Rachel’s first cafe in Beaconsfield, One Fine Day. Rachel has proved that you can achieve success in coffee in a variety of different cafe styles.

DOSE ONE
DOSE ONE IS A LESSON TO US ALL, TO NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A MAN AND HIS LA MARZOCCO IN A WELL SITUATED COFFEE SHOP IN HUGHESDALE. Since joining Zest, Roben and his formidable team have been quietly brewing a coffee storm beneath the Hughesdale train station. Some might call them the ‘underdogs’ but don’t let this small café fool you. Known for a delicious caramelly coffee and service that never disappoints, this cafe moves through some serious volume. Proving they’re here to stay, Dose One has pulled out all the stops to adapt to the changing COVID situations and in doing so, almost doubled their coffee kilos!
