Auction Rooms Cafe | Coffee North Melbourne

Auction Rooms sits on Errol Street in North Melbourne, just north of the CBD. A renowned cafe and coffee roaster, it's long been regarded as one of the city's great coffee destinations — combining quality, expertly roasted coffee with accomplished cafe fare in a characterful setting, the kind of beloved spot that helped cement North Melbourne's reputation for good coffee.

The appeal is that combination of genuinely excellent coffee, quality food and a relaxed, characterful setting in a convenient North Melbourne location, ideal for a serious cup, a leisurely brunch or a casual catch-up. In a city obsessed with coffee, a roaster-cafe with this kind of reputation is a real destination, and Auction Rooms has clearly kept its big, loyal following happy over the years.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,700 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for an excellent coffee and a quality bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well loved in North Melbourne.
