Why Choose Long Shot?
Long Shot delivers fresh coffee, croissants, cronuts and cakes made in-house daily, alongside a full breakfast and lunch menu. It's a busy spot at Collins Square with a friendly team and welcoming atmosphere, though arriving early helps avoid the queues.
About Long Shot
Long Shot is a café in Docklands, upstairs at Collins Square, and it's more of a breakfast-and-lunch stop than a traditional bakery. Still, the baked goods are a real part of the appeal. The pastries and breads are made in-house each day by pastry chef Maria Lantelme, and the cake cabinet features croissants and cronuts.
Beyond the pastries, there's a full café menu. Smashed avo is a regular order, and the slow-cooked poached eggs that come with it get a good word. You'll also find sandwiches, salads, fish and chips, barramundi, nasi goreng and a few gluten free options. For drinks there's coffee, tea, juice, wine and beer. The coffee is the main draw for plenty of regulars, who talk about it as consistently good.
Welcoming staff come up again and again when people talk about this place. One regular singles out Val for being kind and helpful, and visitors from interstate mention being looked after on repeat trips. The room is welcoming, with enough seating to relax over a break, and it works for both dine-in and takeaway. The entrance and seating are wheelchair accessible, and cards and tap-to-pay are accepted.
A little honesty helps here. It's a busy spot on weekdays, especially around lunch, so getting the staff's attention or waiting on a coffee can take a while. Coming a bit earlier in the morning is the local trick. We've also heard the menu has shifted over time, so a favourite dish may not always be there.
The café trades on weekdays and is closed on weekends, so check the hours before heading in. For a bakery-style coffee and pastry fix in Docklands, it's a dependable pick for office workers and visitors alike.
