I’m as snobby as any coffee addict, and after careful thought and many trips, I’m happy to say that Plug Nickel has the best coffee in Melbourne. It’s amazingly consistent and well worth the potentially average customer service at times.
This tiny cafe in a leafy side street of Collingwood is just the best place to stop for coffee, as the brew here is fabulous. It may be small but there is a lot of heart here, and the baristas really know their stuff.
Complimentary sparkling water always goes over a treat, as does the friendly vibe of all the happy patrons. It's only small, but Plug Nickel is usually full both inside, and also outside on the few tables available but this just adds to the appeal.
The coffee is exceptional and I love their cold brew. There is also a small selection of pastries, cookies and rolls if you are feeling hungry, but the coffee is definitely the star at Plug Nickel.
Good space, great coffee and relatively reasonable food (plus a cool hot sauce selection to accompany it). While the jaffles and pies are tempting, the $12 brekkie roll provided even better value for money imo.
