[...] Padre Coffee in the South Melbourne Market (and I assume the East Brunswick store) haven’t forgotten. They are serving their coffees on the most beautiful hand-made ceramics. They are made by Karen Ho; a regular at the East Brunswick store; at the Carlton Arts Center. For such a simple thing, they add an amazing warmth to the coffee – something that no machine or bean can reproduce. [...]

Just been doing my rounds in country vic…the life of the sales rep! Anyway had the best coffee in Beechworth at a little cheese shop called Larder. And low and behold…they have St Ali coffee. Looks like the groove train is on the move and has made it to Beechworth.

Bought some single origin beans at Padre today. Quite reasonably priced and the resulting coffee is excellent!

I didn’t sit down for a cup but judging from the finished products I saw, I’m sure I’ll have one next time!

Thanks for the comment James. I think it’s hard to say it’s “better” than other places, especially St Ali. The regular Padre blend is a very dark blend and not really to my liking, but they always have single origins in the grinders and the staff are friendly and happy to give some good advice.

I think those of us that live south of the river are spoilt for coffee.

I drink a lot of coffee and believe I have developed a pretty good palate for discerning between good and great coffee.
I discovered Padres a month or so ago and it is what is bringing me to the market every sunday where it was a once a month or every second month at best. The coffee is the best I have had in Melbourne, on par with or even better than St Ali. Even better than a place in brisbane(near new farm/west end, name alludes me) which is the best I have had in Australia.

Agnes, it’s on the light rail tram stop side, just at the entrance to the food court, and near the greek butcher and chocolate shop. I suppose you’d call it the top of the deli section.

What sort of better food are you looking for Penny? For breakfast you can try Cafe Bastille that’s on Clarendon. Other than Dead Man and St Ali otherwise we normally go a bit farther affield. Miss Jackson and Outpost aren’t too far to go. (I absolutely love the menu at Outpost)

Oh cool, I’m at South Melbourne market a lot, so good to know there’s a new place for a caffeine fix! Just trying to figure out from your photos where it is exactly – is it at the bottom of the deli section?

Cool! Another good coffee place to go to besides St. Ali and Dead Man.
I just wish there was better food around too.
