Everyday Coffee

Everyday Coffee is a coffee shop in Collingwood, Victoria, that happens to bake, and the baking is part of why people come back. It sits a short walk off the busier streets, in a spacious, industrial-style warehouse that locals describe as relaxed and easy to settle into. There's a coffee roasting operation on site, which is a big part of the atmosphere and means the beans are fresh.

On the baked side, the cinnamon roll gets talked about a lot. We've heard it comes out warm, with a hint of lemon or orange zest, and one local called it the best they'd ever had. Bagels are another regular mention, there's in-house baked focaccia and sweets. The menu is small, with breakfast, brunch and lunch plates, and vegan and vegetarian options are available if you're eating plant-based. They also take custom cake orders, so ask the team if you have an occasion coming up.

The coffee has a loyal following. Espresso blends and a good range of filter options are available, plus batch brew and iced batch brew, and you can take bags of beans home. One longtime regular reckons it's the best coffee in Melbourne and says it's consistently spot on. Tea drinkers may feel less looked after, as one local found out.

The staff are a consistent highlight. People describe them as friendly and helpful, happy to talk you through the coffee, and one visitor said the cook put together a special taste of a vegan side to try. There's seating inside and out, a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating, and you can dine in or take away. Cards are accepted.

It's a good pick if you want a proper coffee and something fresh baked in Collingwood. Check the hours before you head in, as they differ across the week.
