About The Caffeine Crumb

Corner bakery and coffee spot in Docklands, right by Southern Cross Station and the Spencer Outlet Centre, which makes it an easy stop for commuters and shoppers. The Caffeine Crumb does takeaway and dine-in, and you can order a custom cake if you're planning a birthday or a small celebration.

The pies are known for locally. One person called the sausage roll absolutely delicious and said it arrived at just the right eating temperature, while another enjoyed a beef and mushroom pie, though they'd have liked it a touch hotter. Beyond the pies, the cabinet is broad: sandwiches, muffins, sweets and cakes, and we've heard the muffins are generous in size. Coffee gets plenty of love too, with flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos all earning kind words, and one coffee fan went as far as calling it the best in Melbourne.

Service is a big part of the appeal. Staff are described again and again as friendly and quick, and there's a nice story of a staff member handing over a little cup of honey to a customer in a rush, and of the team noticing someone limping in on a sprained ankle and looking after them. Prices come across as fair for the area.

It isn't flawless. The spot sits right at the entrance of the outlet centre, so it can get noisy and isn't the place for a quiet break. A couple of locals found the layered cream cakes a bit dry and sponge-heavy, and one wasn't won over by the matcha, so the pies, coffee and baked goods seem the safer bet.

The shop opens early and runs late, seven days a week, though it's worth checking hours before you go. There's wheelchair-accessible entry and car parking, and you can pay by card or tap. For a fast pie and a good coffee near Southern Cross, this Docklands bakery is an easy pick.
