Proud Mary Coffee

Proud Mary sits on Oxford Street in Collingwood, in Melbourne's vibrant inner north. A renowned specialty coffee roaster and cafe, it's long been regarded as one of the city's great coffee destinations — combining expertly roasted, quality coffee with accomplished, creative cafe fare in a characterful setting, the kind of beloved spot at the heart of Melbourne's renowned coffee culture.

The appeal is that combination of genuinely excellent, freshly roasted coffee, quality and inventive food and a relaxed, characterful setting in a great Collingwood location, ideal for a serious cup, a leisurely brunch or a casual catch-up. Proud Mary's stellar reputation in the coffee world makes it a real destination, and it's clearly won over a big, loyal following.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,000 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 Collingwood.
