The 11 Best Coffee Houses In Moonee Ponds

What do you call it when you walk into a coffee shop and feel like you’ve been there before?

Déja-brew.

…We’re so sorry.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s move onto more (French) pressing matters.

Coffee, a Melbournian’s lifeblood. The nectar of the gods. The delicious-tasting, soul-reviving, brain-awakening liquid that so many of us depend on for keeping us awake and functioning. Plus, it just tastes so good that it’s hard to resist a late afternoon latte!

Australia is known as one of the best countries in the world to get a fantastic brew, and Melbourne is easily at the epicentre of Australian coffee culture. Here our baristas take coffee so seriously that assembling a list of just 11 Moonee Ponds coffee shops was no easy feat! However, we did the hard work of tasting all the best coffee there is in Moonee Ponds, and now that we’re sufficiently caffeinated, it’s your turn to take the reins and taste all there is on offer.

This article takes you on a tour of Moonee Ponds’ 11 best coffee houses, where you can get your morning coffee, takeaway coffee, or iced coffee with ease and know that it’s going to taste out of this world. Get reading, then get going!

Moonee Ponds Coffee Houses To Love A Latte

Moonee Ponds in Melbourne’s inner north has been thriving in recent years, and doesn’t seem to be stopping any time soon. Maybe that’s due to the large selection of coffee houses keeping everybody on the go? Who knows! In any case, when you need a pick-me-up, here are the 11 best places to grab it.

Top Notch Coffee

Top Notch Coffee, at 2 Puckle Street in Moonee Ponds, offers exactly that. What more could you need when the name says it all? Here they blend a magnificent mix of seriously good coffee with a relaxing atmosphere, all in a convenient location for your morning coffee fix. Owner and star barista Kevin lives and breathes coffee, and you can tell! He and his staff have all the passion and skills needed to not only make a delicious sup of coffee, but also offer personal and friendly service to each and every customer.

This breakfast and brunch restaurant is a great option for sitting down and making a meal out of your morning coffee, or grabbing a quick, easy, and delicious iced coffee on your way to work. Although, who said coffee was only for grown-ups? Babycinos are all the rage and little Jack has made his own called the Jack-A-Cino: A big cup of milk with two marshmallows and an Oreo wafer stick. I hope grown-ups can order one too, actually…
