Maker Coffee

Richmond 的这家 Maker 实在藏匿得太好了。它躲在 North Street 一堆类似汽车修理厂的中间，如果不是 local 你是肯定找不到这家店的。但这也是我最喜欢的一家 Maker，无论从装修、艺术品还是咖啡品质，都非常的墨尔本。我特别喜欢白墙上的麋鹿挂画。Barista 年轻帅气，或许因为豆子烘焙车间就在咖啡店后面的缘故，我认为这家 Maker 的咖啡是墨尔本所有 Maker 店最好喝的。Flat white 是我经常的选项，然后每次服务员都会配合咖啡给你一张咖啡豆介绍小卡片，精致又很长知识。我对这家 Maker 有着深厚的感情，因为孩子的小学就在附近，很多送完他上学的早上我会来这里小坐片刻，感受最纯正的墨尔本咖啡给予的宁静。如果正巧遇上车间在磨咖啡，那飘散在空气里的咖啡豆香让人更加愉悦。唯一不方便的是停车，可以停在附近的 Vic Garden Shopping Centre 走过来。另外下午两点就关门了，来晚了就没有了哦。

You will not stumble upon this Maker. Tucked between what look like auto workshops on North Street, Richmond, it rewards only those who already know — the locals, the regulars, the ones who've made it a quiet morning tradition. And it is, without qualification, the best Maker I've been to in Melbourne. The space earns that claim on its own: raw white brick, industrial ceiling, reclaimed timber at the counter, and on the far wall, a large moose painting in a suit that somehow sets the tone perfectly — deadpan, considered, a little unexpected. The roasting facility sits directly behind the café, which I'm convinced is the reason the coffee tastes the way it does: impossibly fresh, every shot dialled in with care. Order a flat white. The barista will bring it with a small printed card describing the beans — origin, process, tasting notes. It's a small gesture, but it matters. I have particular fondness for this place. My son's primary school is nearby, and for years, dropping him off was followed by a walk here — a few quiet minutes, a good coffee, the smell of fresh roast drifting from the back. Those mornings meant something. One practical note: park at Vic Gardens Shopping Centre and walk over. And don't arrive late — they close at 2pm.
