Why it's worth checking out
Bench Coffee Co. sits on Little Collins Street in the heart of the Melbourne CBD. A much-loved coffee spot and cafe, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality coffee and good food — the kind of dedicated, reliable spot that's become a genuine favourite for city workers and locals after a properly good cup in the heart of the city.
The appeal is that combination of quality coffee, good cafe fare and a handy central location, ideal for a morning coffee, a quick bite or a caffeine fix while in the city. In a city that takes its coffee seriously, a spot that's nailed its craft really stands out, and Bench Coffee Co. has clearly won over a loyal following.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 630 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. The coffee offering, any food, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular city cafe gets busy at peak times, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for an excellent coffee and a quick bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Bench Coffee Co. on Little Collins Street.
