Die koffie was baie lekker en die diens was goed. Die waiter kon afrikaans praat so dit was lekker om koffie in Afrikaans te bestel.
Perfect cafe. Great service. Bottomless batch brewed coffee thats roasted in house. The food is great too, and seems like they have a good range. Will certainly be back!
QPH is a very outgoing style place. They are adjacent to one of the main streets of Melbourne. 5 star coffees. 4 star sandwiches. 4 star lunch menu.
The coffee here will blow your socks off. Great deal as well with bottomless filter. FOH seemed quite friendly as well, only thing I would change is maybe the seating layout design, but understandable for such a small place being in a central district. Atmosphere was quite neat nevertheless.
Come here for coffee ☕️. These guys do a good coffee & have some nice toasted sandwiches, however the seating area feels a little bit cramped, loud & slightly uncomfortable. Menu is also slightly limited. Staff are extremely friendly.
Points for: nice, strong coffee
QPH takes a minimalist, very hipster approach to everything. Serious about their coffee, you only get one choice of milk - full fat. Not that it's a bad thing, because it really rounds out the dark bitterness of the coffee.
Some of the hand-baked goods in the perspex display is quite pricey though.The food menu is a bit of a simplistic affair, but still done well.
Staff are pretty friendly too - so if anything, drop in for a good coffee.
Quaint coffee shop near the uni district. Always like a place that feels like you're visiting a friend or family's home. Mushroom toastie was delish, Cobb Lane bread went down a treat and the mixture of mushrooms n touch of cheese disappeared leaving a crumb free plate. Coffee on the other hand was not to my liking but more to go with my choice of milk. I'm usually a soy or skinny milk drinker, but the cafe served neither so there was really just the full fat and home made nut blend option. I went the latter and found it abit too watery/earthy for me. Should've gone the full fat option but live n learn and might well return if in the area again!
Bottomless coffee and free wifi. What else do u need to say about this cafe. Not much fuzz and hype about this cafe make this a good destination to jus get a coffee and study. I am a regular myself as the quality is consistent with good services.
The cutest coffee shop - definitely a lovely way to start your day.
Quaint, stylish, friendly and warm! They even make their own nut milk!! My new "go to place, with 4 hours parking in the City".
What a find!! Thank you.
I come here regularly for coffee, it's the only place I'll willingly pay $5.50 for a nut milk coffee because I know it's consistently good. I'm also a fan of their bottomless filter (just don't drink too many cups before an exam!) and cold drip. I can't vouch for the food but the coffee is excellent and staff treat you as friends.
Super energetic and friendly staff which helps make the morning a little easier - yes to positive vibes all round! Legume salad hit all the right spots with its sweet-savoury tangy and fresh flavours. The baba ghanoush was perfect and the light spices through the buckwheat cracker and salad was a nice touch - any more or less of it, it would have been a different story. I'm not a coffee drinker but staff recommended their ice tea which was not bad. I'm already eyeing those ceramic plates and cups for my future home. I definitely will be back for a chill out breakfast/lunch spot so hope they keep up the awesome vibes!
Very beautiful breakfast, reasonable price and good service. Convenient for pp who work nearby to start a great day with a "eggs sunnyside"!
If you cut me, I bleed coffee. At least that's what the friendly team at Queensberry Pour House must think of me as I sit there, sometimes hours at a time, eating tasty pastries and drinking their delicious bottomless filter coffee. Yes! That's right! BOTTOMLESS FILTER COFFEE! Australia has been slow on the uptake when it comes to filter coffee being actually drinkable, I guess the years of awful McDonalds filter coffee reputations have been hard to shake. Let me tell you right here and now that this stuff is gold. Tasty, tasty gold.
QPH are happy to let you sit and chill with a laptop and work from their cosy cafe or have a few casual meetings here. Their menu is pretty small but it's a case of quality over quantity. I suggest getting the mushroom toasted sandwich. A great place to catch up with friends, colleges or some work.
Newly opened Queensberry Pour House is where the simple things are key. Starting with the house-made kiln-fired cups, the roaster out the back and the bottomless filter coffee, it is clear that this cafe was designed with purpose.Situated unassumingly on a corner of the quiet backstreet of Queensberry, its existence is marked by cute but hip milk crate seats outside, large floor to ceiling glass windows and a Pura milk sign which seems to be a remnant of the previous tenants.The menu too is simple with a handful of the usual breakfast options with some creative twists – the smashed avocado with charred corn and lime, coriander, pepitas (pumpkin seeds) and parmesan with optional poached egg sounds amazing – along with three key lunch items – coffee soaked lamb pie, jerked chicken sandwich and a quinoa salad.On the occasion I had the jerked chicken sandwich which contained sesame slaw and a pineapple and jalapeño salsa, the flavour of which combined to create a punchy sweet but spicy mix. I will definitely return to try the lamb pie which sounds equally flavoursome.The coffee offering is the choice of a blend or single origins available black or white espresso, bottomless batch brew filter or cold brew and roasted on site out the back.
The Queensberry Pourhouse is a small cafe on the corner on Queensberry and Bouverie--a kind of blink and you might miss it if you didn't know about it--that appears to cater mainly to students and business professionals due to the area.
Considering its small size and offering, they do well with their select menu.
Staff are upbeat and personable. Service is friendly, and has been from day one. Coffee is very good. Food is enjoyable.
And music is nostalgic in the way that only New Order/The Smiths can be.
Added to my weekly routine. I consider it one of those little pleasures.
Recommended.
Best Flat White around Melb Uni!
Walking pass this cafe for so many times but haven't really tasted it yet. Finally dropped in once today. Impressed! Best flat I've ever tasted.
A housemate informed me of this place's coffee greatness, so I came to investigate.
She was right, these peep's do a good brew and this is coming from a person who's starting to shy away from the stuff.
Either way, a pretty low key, hang-out for that caffeine fix and to kill time.
We ordered the chicken jerk, mushroom toasties. Staff were really friendly and we got served promptly. Food was really fresh and tea came in really pretty cups and pots.
Love the atmosphere and would definitely be back again soon!
This is a really nice little cafe on the corner always welcoming a good mix of people. The usual menu items and coffee offerings but with little details that make it unique - choice of homemade nut milk, bottomless filter coffee, beautiful ceramics and dark wooden tables. Small things that make it stand out from the crowd. Highly recommend you drop in, very chill vibe and friendly service.
We ordered Mushroom Toastie and Smashed Eggs and had Batch Brew and Sticky Chai for drinks. Both the coffee and the chai were great. I loved the chai as it was aromatic and the spices were not overpowering. It was also not too sweet and I felt that it was one of the better chai lattes that I have had, even though the shop specialises in coffee. The smashed eggs were ordinary but the mushroom toastie was commendable. The flavours from the cheese and mushroom combined well, and it was accompanied with the well toasted bread. Even though the food were superb, I felt that it was slightly overpriced, as it wasnt filling enough for me. Nonetheless, I would definitely go back for the coffee and chai.
Excellent bottomless filter coffees (more depth of flavour and aroma than your average filter) and I always come back for the mushroom toastie. A great wintertime lunch hideaway. Only downside is the small (and relatively expensive) range of pastries and sweets.
The attention to detail that Ben and Natalie have put into Queensberry Pour House is obvious. Handmade ceramics, a beautiful seasonal food menu prepared by Natalie and specialty coffee beans roasted by Ben at the back of the café in Carlton. They carefully assemble even the furniture.
Their espresso and filter menu rotate depending on the time green beans from various origins start landing in Melbourne. When I was there I had an espresso in one of their handmade cups, the Indian Baba Budan Kalledevana Pura Estate. A light roast, it had an orange sherbet flavour and slight citrus acidity.
When you visit, make sure you let them know how great a time you have had. It’s got such an inviting and great atmosphere; I know you’ll have a great time. I hold this place in very high regard. Definitely highly recommend.
Queensberry Pour House in Carlton is the kind of cosy hangout I wish I’d had back when I was a uni student.
While my uni days are long behind me now, I can still pretend I’m part of the cool crowd that use Queensberry Pour House for their caffeine fix, meetings and a quiet study session.
Pourhouse saved my marriage . The food gave me my libido back & the coffee kept me up all night . Did someone say : 'best cafe in Melbourne ' ? I did . I said that .
All done in-house - roasting and baking. It was great to see a GOOD coffee shop appear on the corner of Queensberry St.
While some may say Melbourne has a saturation of coffee shops, the all-rounders (5 star coffee, food and service) are few and far between.I live in Brunswick, which has heaps of coffee shops but the saturation of coffee shops doesn’t equate to fab coffee and customer service.
Nat and Ben run Pour House, one roasts & is the head barista, one squirrels away rolling, kneading, baking cooking delights for us lucky patrons. It is a busy place because Ben makes a mean coffee and Nat whips up some gourmet delight and they have staff that smile and greet you like a friend.
Top tip: try the chocolate brownies is a chocoholics dream & the lamb pie espresso – coffee, meat & pastry goodness.
A treat!. Great coffee, great ceramics, lovely avo on toast, really friendly (and let's fact it, attractive) staff, what's not to like?
Excellent coffee, great staff. This is my daily coffee place, for good reason. On Mondays, when they roast, I have to slum it and go to Stovetop, House of Cards or Seven Seeds, where I get snarled at by indifferent, hip staff. These guys are hip too, but are also pleasant. They own the place; have skin in the game. Great coffee, great service, great music, etc. A solid 4.5 stars from me.
It's the best cafe in Melbourne, hands down.

QPH is the best. Like srsly best coffee, best people, best coconut and almond toast. THE BEST!!
I loved the Queensbury Pourhouse - the lamb pies were delicious and great coffee and service. Nice to see owners actually hands on!! Great new cafe.
My new fav cafe. So excited to have this cafe open around the corner from home. The almond milk coffee is the bomb - a must try.
Love the slow cooked eggs with home made pesto - these guys are crazy - they make everything. Nat and Ben (the owners) are soooo friendly - love chilling at the QPH. Tried the coffee / lamb pie for lunch today - was not convinced until I tried it - amazing!
New. Popped in here very soon after opening and the staff (both owners I think) were lovely and friendly. Gave my companion and I a complimentary vegan muesli slice which was delicious. They don't/didn't serve soy milk, so I got my coffee with their housemade nut milk - found it to be pretty bitter, which might prevent me returning for regular coffees sadly.
Loved the ceramics used there and the family connection in producing them. Aaand they play vinyl.
Spoonfuls Of Wanderlust
+4
Verdict? Cute corner oasis with delightful coffee, deliciously smashed eggs and friendly staff. You get the feeling that time moves differently here - there's no urgency, there's no rushing... and I'm quite OK with that.
The lemon curd pancakes were delicious (best pancakes I’ve ever had), and so was the soy latte. Very cosy little cafe.
Update: burger pie was expensive ($8.50) and not very good (it was just lukewarm when I received it and very salty); carrot cake was delicious though
Such a delicious breakfast! Really friendly staff, made us feel very welcome. The batch brew was really nice and warming, as was the soy latte. We tried the Reuben on Rye toastie and the soup of the day - which was chicken soup. Both were very tasty. I would certainly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice breakfast, or a quick delicious coffee. Enjoy!
Very friendly service. Coffee was great. Good selections for the sweet tooth. Highly recommend the chocolate cake 😋
Best. Muffins. In. Melbourne. That is all. Try it and thank me later.
Also, The staff here are so friendly and nice. I ordered a chicken sandwich and they gave me two of them because that day, the bread was smaller, so they doubled up so I don’t miss out! Usually cafes won’t pay attention to these things, so the fact that they did shows me they have great quality control.
There's a lot of competition in the precinct for the best cup, with Stovetop and Seven Seeds in the area. Both are great, but they don't quite match up to the Pour House on personable customer service and consistent quality of coffee.
The ambiance is nice, coffee is always at an excellent level and their batch brew, for $5, is a high quality refillable cup - also a nice touch.
The eggs on toast is also a beautifully made light option and hits the spot every time.
Well done team, I'll look forward to coming back.
This is my favourite cafe in Melbourne right now. The coffee is always sensational, and I buy my filter beans for coffee at home from here too. The service is great, and they're always willing to hear your preferences to give you recommendations on the beans. One guy also gave me detailed instructions for how best to brew certain beans using a v60!
Nice coffee and friendly staff, highly recommended
