Why Choose Footscray Doughnuts & Coffee?

Footscray Doughnuts & Coffee is a well-regarded commuter favourite right by the station, known for fresh handmade doughnuts and solid coffee at fair prices.

About Footscray Doughnuts & Coffee

Footscray Doughnuts & Coffee is the sort of small shop commuters know well, a quick coffee and a fresh doughnut before the train. Locals describe the doughnuts as proper handmade ones, generous with sugar and filling, and jam donuts are among the menu items. Banana bread and hot chocolate also turn up on the order list, along with the odd sandwich.

Coffee is a big part of the appeal. One local reckons their long black is a good one, and the made-fresh canned long black was praised by someone heading for the platform. Someone who has been buying coffee from the same family for over 15 years says the service and the snack selection haven't let them down.

The staff are a real part of the shop's reputation. The bloke who runs the place is quick, funny and kind, and he gets orders out fast so people make their train even when it's busy. The team at the counter come in for warm words too. One person found the doughnuts a touch heavy and another wasn't won over by the hot chocolate, so go for the doughnuts and coffee, which is where the praise lands.

You can dine in, take away or get it delivered, and the entrance is wheelchair-accessible. Cards and mobile payments are accepted, and it's known for good value. Check the hours before you go, as weekends differ from weekdays.
