Goose Coffee

Goose Coffee is the St Kilda café from the team behind Daily Drip, a Melbourne specialty coffee subscription business founded by Brent, who says he has spent 15 years in the coffee industry. The café was created as a place to experience the coffees featured by Daily Drip in person, rather than only receiving them at home.

The venue’s focus is coffee-led: visitors can taste coffees from different Australian roasters, shop for brewing gear and learn more about the people and processes behind the beans. Daily Drip changes its featured roaster each month, so the selection and story may evolve over time. The business has highlighted roasters including Geelong’s Constant Coffee and Melbourne’s Born & Raised, although the website does not confirm which coffees are currently served at Goose.

There is also a clear community and giving-back element. Daily Drip says it has raised just over $16,000 for charities selected by its featured roasters over nine months, and that a percentage of Goose’s monthly revenue will continue to support causes that matter. That gives the café a broader purpose beyond serving coffee, while keeping the focus on sharing specialty coffee with the local community.

The website provides limited detail about the café’s layout, food, atmosphere and suitability for groups, families or dates, so it is best understood as a destination for coffee drinkers and people interested in brewing. Solo visitors, home brewers and anyone curious about Australian specialty roasters may find the concept particularly relevant. Goose is in St Kilda, Melbourne.
