Hello everyone,
Looking for the best, consistently amazing coffee in Melbourne CBD. Then there is only 1 place. DUKES!! lol
My latest strong skinny latte was perfect, a good amount of milk froth, a great tasting coffee flavour, not too scalding hot so I could drink the coffee straight away and the option of no lid. If you want to have an amazing coffee, then look no further. This place rocks.

Dukes still do one of the best coffees in the CBD. I called in for a strong skinny latte and it was great.
The flavour was nice, there was some good milk froth, and the service excellent. And the coffee appears to be constantly tested and measured to make sure that your coffee is going to be good every time.
Ah consistency ... this is my kind of place, and definitely worth a visit if you want a good coffee just off Swanson Street.

Exemplary Melbourne coffee - delicate but well-balanced with a hint of bitterness. Excellent service as well :) Big enough to stay for awhile but very packed.
Dukes is an institution in the Melbourne cafe scene for very good reason. This tiny spot often has people lined out the door; all eager for the excellent coffee available here. The limited seating means it's always full and bustling, whilst even more people queue up for takeaways.
We were lucky to grab a seat at the bar, which is always a bonus. The atmosphere here is electric, and the decor is modern and comfortable. Staff are run off their feet, but all the baristas are lovely and friendly and welcoming.
Our coffee was of fantastic quality, and we paired it with a white chocolate and raspberry blondie. The display cabinet overflows with pastries and cakes such as croissants, slices and cookies. Dukes is more of a quick stop kind of place, but you will never be disappointed with the quality of coffee here.
The coffee here is really hyped but I think it's just okay. That said, the raisin scroll is well worth a visit. It's soft, buttery and not too sweet. I also love the fitout of this cafe although it's small, so don't expect to stay for long.
Love the smooth coffee in what is a retro coffee house. Super quick, friendly but attentive staff in a small but we'll utilised space with a cool vibe
Dukes never disappoints if you're wanting to grab a coffee or hot chocolate. Their drinks are always on top and the quality never falters.
They use quality coffee beans/chocolate, the vibe is great and the staff are friendly. Wouldn't recommend buying the pastries as they can be a bit bland are a bit expensive.
But overall, amazing, would definitely keep coming here.
Quite a popular cafe, it's always packed every time I walk past.
Standard 2 shots per small cup, which is a good strength for me.
The milk was steamed well, giving the coffee a nice velvety texture.
The flavour was nutty and milk chocolatey.
Very nice interior and lighting though, has a very cool ambiance.
Can't go wrong with coffee in Melbourne I guess. The long black is extremely rich and slightly creamy texture. The quantity is smaller than I'm used to so should have ordered a large. There is a no photography sign at the door. Which is interesting. There was a queue when I went in and it was pretty packed inside. Fed square is a short walk away so wasn't too bad to sit there with my coffee on a sunny day
A small cafe hidden in the middle of the city, very cute place, the coffee were really nice, service were decent, also have some yummy pastries.
There's a reason this place is considered to be pretty much the top of the game when it comes to Melbourne coffee.
I've never had a dud here, and will hit them up any time I have the misfortunate of having to brave the CBD.
I also love the 'no selfie' rules. Keep those insta-narcs at bay.
Take a tour of a coffee shop with a local roaster at the top level of Melbourne, Dukes has amazing coffee. It is one of the coffee shops that are always crowded with customers. But the service is quite fast. Highly recommend
Easily one of the best coffees in the city. Great pastries as well. Used to get really crowded, particularly with tourists but not so much in the current environment. Also very friendly and efficient staff.
Can’t believe I’ve been walking past this place for years and never tried it. It was busy with the pre-9am office crowd but with lots of workers and a couple of machines the wait wasn’t too long.
The taste of my soy magic (Bonsoy) was exactly what I wanted. The extraction was perfect and milk texture and temperature great. I’ve been looking for this taste since Cup of Truth around the corner closed down.
It might be my new regular on the walk from the train station to the office.
Fresh CBD cafe with good coffee, nice decor, and an abundance of tasty treats. The carrot cake is divine and perfect to share between two 🥕
I like their coffee whenever I visit Melbourne, I come here to enjoy having their house blended coffee.
I recommend their long black, you can taste their bean flavor more.

Dukes at Ross House has been providing Melbourne with the finest coffee since 2013. Their focus is the craft of carefully roasting the best organic coffees in the world. I had the pleasure to taste two different, organic coffees: a magic made of their house blend with a sweeeeeeet pistachio cake, followed by a refreshing cold brew on ice.
Luckily, they had El Salvador Santa Elena – Natural (Organic) on today fort my cold brew. Finca Santa Elena is located in Palo de Campana, Santa Ana and is regarded as one of best organic farms in the country. In fact, Fernando Lima’s coffees have placed in each of the last 18 COE awards, dating back to the origin of the competition in El Salvador.
The staff was very friendly, and I liked the minimalistic, yet high quality interior design. There were many different textures to touch and the leather on top of the bench was super comfortable to sit on. I especially liked the handwritten logo on the front façade and the wooden menu board in the back of the café.
Strong coffee taste but is was beautiful. Great service and lovely stuff. If coffee not to hot would be perfect.
