Unassuming and incredible places like this are what Collingwood is all about. Hands-down best coffee in the area. Limited menu but incredible staff who remember everything about your order when you become a regular. Pumping in the mornings and more room to breath in the arvo. Quite little green oasis in the heart of the chaos of Collingwood.
I go here on a weekly basis at least and love it. It's one of my favourite cafes in the area. While I usually go for a soy flat white, they also make a great oat coffee. Staff are friendly and space is great for coworking and there are always cute dogs outside.
Allpress Espresso brings the 5 star experience to Collingwood. It seems like a hidden gem given its location, but what you experience in terms of the level of professionalism and service makes it a standout. There’s indoor and outdoor dining and the smell of coffee beans roasting in the background makes it very hard to leave.
Easily the best coffee available in the area. The level of professionalism and skill in making the coffee here is another level in comparison to the local competition. With the ability to be seated in the outside garden, it’s the perfect venue to get your caffeine fix
One of our favorite spots for a coffee! We usually have a coffee to have there and one to takeaway. Hard to say no to another one! We love the cafes simplicity and it’s aesthetic, not overdone with typical cafe decor. Sit inside or outside, you’ll find some inner peace while enjoying their brew 👌🏼
Great cafe and coffee roastery in the back streets of Collingwood! Food here is simpler than the standard brunch fare you’d find in the area, however is tasty and priced accordingly. In addition to inside seating, there’s also an outside courtyard area that’s perfect for a sunny day!
Love the place!! Heaps of bang for your buck and super nice staff! I love that everything is affordable and super tasty. Delicious coffee and food.
Used to love getting my morning coffee here, but a change of staff over the New Year sees a 20 minute wait for coffee now. A victim of its own success now.

LOVED this place! They cannot put a foot wrong. It's the most beautifully decorated cafe (I didn't see the inside, but the dark grey exterior is divine) in an area tucked away from the street, and has a tonne of plants around that makes it feel like a mini retreat. The menu is brief, but interesting. No smashed avo here, just a simple list of things to make you feel good. The DIY plate is incredible. Three pieces of toast, a small slice of avo, tomato, egg and the most beautiful curd and PICKLE you have ever tasted (still dreaming about that pickle). It was past coffee time, so the freshly made juice for $6 was the perfect accompaniment. Our waiter was so friendly and helpful. What a perfect Saturday brunch it was! Thanks, Allpress. Was a pleasure dining there.
Allpress are masters of coffee. They don’t deviate from the bean, strictly offering coffee and tea beverages only (sorry no chai, tumeric, mushroom lattes or whatever the new trend is). They also have a perfect little menu for light lunches and their selection of sweets and pastries make me weak in the knees. I’m often here for meetings but tend to stay a little longer outside in the sunshine among the the greenery. It’s one of Collingwood’s gems.
Definitely the best coffee in the area. Always consistent and strong. Great service, cool vibes and friendly atmosphere. Great little industrial cafe. If You ever in area worth a visit. Something different
Very comfortable and welcoming roastery space, well-fitted out with an open fireplace. Coffee is very good and while very limited, the food is fresh and tasty, with a clear focus on good quality produce. Service is fantastic and the free sparkling water is a win
Great food and coffee. The service is good and all round good value. I do have to say though, the menu is relatively basic. I would certainly go back again. I recommend the buckwheat pancakes.
Discovered this place when we first moved offices to Collingwood. I've been raving about the coffee ever since. I generally can't tell the difference between coffees but something special was going on with this one.
With style. Great space in Collingwood laneway. Old converted warehouse with large outdoor sunny area. Always great lunchtime food, coffee, vibes and hospitality. Today a delicious raw veg rustic sandwich with chickpea spread ... mmm mmm and for $10, very happy. Coffee today awesome, and our takeaway pastry and slice of lemon poppyseed cake melted in the mouth. Its been too long ... back soon ...
朋友推荐的宝地 隐匿在一脚油门就无数次略过的小巷子里 极简的菜单 超级新鲜的食材 简单到几乎不做的做法 居然难以置信的好吃 自家的咖啡仓库 不仅外表清新自然 大气美观 内在也很实用环保 帅哥厨师美女高冷服务员 吃到沉醉 准备付小费 人家说“Thank you, we have been paid enough” 天啊 简直是物欲横流世界里的一朵奇葩 一顿饭吃到我三观重建 觉得自己太low了 他们才真的够cool！
All press is probably one of my top 3 coffees in collingwood.
They roast their own beans and they are deliciously smooth and rich but not weak.
The milk is steamed to perfection everytime and O love the decor.
Clean, earthy and warm in a very pretty way..
This place is awesome. A local for me and their long blacks are epic! I Like that their menu is a bit different.... change it up from the usual brunch around this area. Croissants are always nice and crispy and their three salads always amaze me. Lovely staff too

Ethos was relaxing yet vibrant on my visit..staff welcomed me with a smile & witty approach..outdoor area is colourful, coffee was great and tuna & egg sandwhich even better. Most importantly, its' secluded warehouse location is a bonus as it gives it that secretive ambience!
Such a fantastic company, great ethos and customer service. Excellent coffee, didn't try any food. Wonderful atmosphere and happy staff. All positive from me.
Blink and you'll miss this hipster whisky bar of the cafe world.
- great coffee
- quirky chic atmosphere
- delectable sweets
- fresh tasty lunches
- clean, open and roomy
This is a special find in an otherwise old industrial area. If you're a lover of coffee and cool then look no further!
Fantastic place down a side street in Collingwood. Awesome space - lots of room with an inviting outdoor dining area. Coffee is excellent and the selection of food is adequate. Had the mixed plate of provolone, prosciutto, tomato, avocado and a boiled egg. Seems like a strange combo but it works. The sandwiches also look good - will have to try one on my next visit.
Awesome place for coffee. Alot larger than it looks from the street, with a roomy atmosphere, they serve beautiful coffee with a great light foods menu.
Definitely will be back.
Fantastic coffee as you would expect, with a few quirky dishes on the menu, although it is quite limited and mostly simple dishes at that. On more than one occasion they had run out of various dishes, including the food I wanted to order. Great place to sit outside and catch some rays when Melbourne is performing well.
A great little spot, highly recommend you check it out. Great coffee, great food and great people, could u ask for any better? Not going to stay a secret for much longer
Great coffee yesterday -as one would expect- but the surprise package was a lunch platter of boiled egg, avocado, goat's curd, roast tomato and gherkin, with toast, great flavour packed combo (even he gherkin which isn't something I would typically choose). Friendly engaging staff and warming sunshine in the courtyard topped it off.
Great little cafe in Collingwood. They do really delicious coffee and the food is quite nice too. I just wish they made the portion sizes a little bit bigger for the prices they advertise for there food. Other than that, lovely staff and a great warm cafe especially in the winter.
The best coffee I've ever had. Living in Melbourne I drink a lot of coffee. I always look out for cafes that use allpress beans so it was a treat to actually go to their cafe in Collingwood. Woah did they not disappoint.
Literally the best coffee I've ever had.
Also the mixed plate is delicious and simple. The goats curd and salmon is a winner.
Best scone I have ever had. I needn't say much more! Lovely light fluffy texture and full of jam, clotted cream and served with fresh berries- yum. Good coffee too! Well done Allpress. Primo location.

Just one thing.. Here is a review. If you work here - and you are a male of between the ages 20-30... this is for you. Well done on your job...its luxurious. Or am i mistaken and you hate being there? it seems that a simple "HI" to a new arrival is a non-essential part of your position. Maybe it depends on your mood... well. whatever the case, without making assumptions about people that i don't know a thing about, i can only observe from my experience a theme of blanking customers. Clearly, I don't like it.
I think the 'treat others how you would want to be treated' notion COULD be adopted here.
Such a small thing can really throw people off. As if walking into a seemingly prestigious establishment isn't already slightly nerve bearing for some. Its a really inhibiting feeling I had just walking out of there... happy with my purchase, however somewhat anxious from the overall experience.
No matter what your position in an establishment, if you happen to come across a customer that just walked in the door, there is an expectation to make them feel welcome and valued. Service is just so insanely important; I haven't bothered to touch on anything else as I think its pretty well known these guys are on point with their product.
Cheers.

Simply Coffee.. Allpress Espresso, I think, is an utterly brilliant establishment and I am thankful to this fantastic coffee institution that they have now settled in the industrial streets of Collingwood. I have been reading past reviews and have noticed that they seem to speak poorly of what is offered on the Allpress menu, which I can empathise with. Melbourne's breakfast/brunch scene is evolving rapidly and changing they way we view breakfast, which can only be a good thing as it is my favourite meal of the deal. And when I went in the other week I failed to see how someone would not want to come back for a coffee. The setting is simple and tranquil, especially with the natural light, the service is unforgettable, the food is generous (a mixed plate with a dill pickle, goats curd and three slices toast was a mere $10.00) and the coffee, of course, is a stand out. Allpress have been experimenting with coffee for almost 30 years now, I think we should learn to appreciate what this institution is offering, an amazing tasting cup with a wealth of knowledge behind it, rather than what they are offering on the side. This cafe isn't about the food it is about the coffee and Melburnians should appreciate that, not snub their nose.
Not living up to potential. Great coffee and a beautiful fit-out. It's a bit out of the way in the industrial part of Collingwood, although this isn't a turn-off in itself. The turn-off is the limited menu with mostly sandwich options. I ordered the smoked salmon mixed platter, which was a bit underwhelming in both presentation and flavour. My friend's sandwich was lovely though, as were the desserts. Coffee was great, especially as I drink black coffee, which can be very unforgiving with the absence of milk. I was here for brunch on a Sunday and the place should have been packed, but was quite empty. It would be a pity to see this place close due to a lack of customers, but until they up their food offerings, I don't see this lasting. While I liked this, I probably wouldn't come back until the menu is a bit more substantial.
The fit out is very tasteful staff friendly, cute Japanese chairs, coffees awesome and a huge range of pastries sandwiches etc makes for a great breakfast or lunch spot.
Let me expresso my feelings. This is my regular morning coffee place.. great coffee and really lovely place to sit in - has a great fit out. The staff there are outstanding always very friendly, polite and welcoming, and a simple but tasty menu.
Fantastic every time.. This place is the best thing to happen to Collingwood for a long time. Brilliant fit out - such a tranquil place. The staff are exceptionally warm and friendly. The quality of the food is outstanding. Limited menu but not an issue as it makes decisions easy. The breakfast plate is delicious with care taken to fill it with perfect ingredients. Coffee is spot on everytime. The scones are a heavenly treat.
Loved all the outdoor shaded seating great for a coffee unfortunately the menu lets it down, v limited breakfast options, also despite all the wifi around they wouldn't provide a password

Rad. Popped in on Friday for lunch and a couple of coffees - found that it was an awesome space, felt very welcome and relaxed. Service, food and coffee were all excellent, but the friendly staff were definitely the highlight.
Good coffee but pricey!. Nice atmosphere and good coffee. We were a little alarmed that a double shot with soy was close to $5 though......
Yes, the coffee is good. As you would expect from a cafe dedicated to roasting. However the menu leaves a bit to be desired, we came here for breakfast, the only options are pastries or a cold boiled egg on a plate with some cheese, avocado and tomatoes. Sure, it's provelone, but still. Disappointingly they were out of decaf, although it's written on the board. I would love to come back here, the decor is beautiful and it's nice and airy, hopefully the breakfast menu improves.
An oasis amidst the razorbacks providing sanctuary, food & an exceptional long black!
We found this place by chance yesterday & it’s too good not to share. Beautiful garden courtyard & great staff as well as their own roast. When I order a long black, this is what I want, rich earthy golden crema, that also happens to taste excellent. Bravo 👏
If only I lived closer, the most perfect place to sit down and have a coffee. Sublime.
Recommend their soy flat white and filtered black coffee! Well roasted, super creamy and naturally sweet.
Thanks again for the lovely service.
Can’t believe this gem has been hiding in our backyard for so long. Went here for breakfast this morning and was amazed at how nice the setting was. Tranquil cafe hidden behind the industrial streets of Collingwood. Coffee was perfect as to be expected from the Allpress brand, and surprisingly the pastries were insanely good (Lune croissant level good). Will definitely be coming back now I know about this place!
Can not speak more highly of Allpress Espresso. The beans are amazing and the customer service is second to none. We have been having our beans home delivered for the past 7-8 months and absolutely love having delicious coffee at home every morning. Thank-you.
Super lovely vibe here with clean interior design. Great for brunch or a study date!
An interesting, almost “secret” cafe tucked away in the side streets of Collingwood.
Very easy to miss if you’re walking past. Inside the setting is interesting - minimalist with plain colours and high ceiling. There is no table service so you order at the counter.
The menu is a little bit hard to read with the way it’s layout. It would be nice to see pictures of the menu items as they’re hard to visualise (a bit of jargon on there that I didn’t understand).
I ordered the overnight oats with coconut yoghurt which was pleasant, it tasted fresh however I would’ve liked the option to have the oats warmed up especially on a cold day. Hot chocolate was very nice.
In the middle of the hustle and bustle of Collingwood amongst the offices & factories. This place gives me good vibes, state of the art poured coffee & top notch toasties with an amazing ambiance and love that it’s up the road from me ✌️
