Little Rogue.

On a Saturday afternoon, I visited Little Rogue, a charming cafe tucked away in Drewery Lane. The cafe’s inviting atmosphere and limited seating prompted me to grab a coffee to go. While I was disappointed not to find any latte art, the coffee itself was delicious. On a second visit in July, I discovered a hidden gem: a secluded seating area at the back of the cafe. It’s a bit of a secret, but it offers a peaceful ambiance for a morning coffee. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience this time, savouring a smooth flat white to kickstart my day.

Cool little coffee spot! One of the best matchas I have ever had. I’ve been long term travelling and trying matchas all over the world if that counts for anything! And this matcha was so balanced and creamy, and not overpoweringly sweetened. I was very impressed!! The staff are all cool and very friendly. It gets busy so I recommend take out coffee, unless you get lucky with bagging a seat.

A lovely café in Melbourne offering both coffee and matcha latte selections. I tried the hot matcha latte, and it was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere was amazing — warm and lively, with lots of people lining up, but surprisingly, the wait wasn’t long at all. They also sell a wide variety of coffee beans to take home. Definitely worth a visit!

Great hidden cafe. Coffee was good. Tried matcha for the first time. It was much better than expected. Tasted better than next one I tried after this.

Sister venue to the famous Bakemondo bakery, this cafe delivers exceptionally high quality drinks and treat options. Just a hop skip and a jump away from the bakery itself. Drop by here if you're a coffee connoisseur like me or just want to experience the friendly and efficient service. The coffee was 10/10, incredibly smooth and delicious.

I stopped by for a morning coffee because the ratings were high, and it’s right across from Bakemono Bakers. Small and charming spot tucked inside Drewery Lane, with just 2 tables that fit around 6–7 people. Simple menu, minimal design, and a cozy atmosphere. I ordered a hot flat white, which came out in about five minutes with neat latte art. Coffee was decent, not mind-blowing, but nice for a morning stop. Staff were gentle, friendly, and easy to chat with. It gets busier around 9 AM, mostly office workers grabbing their take-away.

It’s a small space and there’s always a line BUT it’s worth the wait. There’s a reason there’s always a line. It’s really good. The staff is always so nice. I’ve tried the matcha latte and mocha. The mocha uses a chocolate syrup which made it very chocolatey, it was very tasty. Matcha latte was really good too, the foam on top was amazing.

Tucked away down a quiet little laneway, this hidden gem of a café might be easy to miss – there’s no flashy signage, just a cosy, unassuming entrance that leads to something truly special. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm, homely vibe that makes you feel instantly at ease. The space is compact, with small tables and a snug layout, but what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in charm and quality. The coffee here is excellent, but the real standout is their matcha latte – an absolute revelation. It’s rich, smooth, and bursting with genuine green tea flavour that’s better than many you’d find in Japan. You can really taste the depth and quality of the tea leaves, suggesting they use proper, high-grade matcha rather than anything artificial. It’s creamy, comforting, and beautifully balanced – a quiet little luxury in a cup. This café has that local, word-of-mouth appeal – the kind of place you feel lucky to stumble upon. It’s ideal for a peaceful solo visit or a relaxed chat with a friend, and once you’ve tried their matcha latte, chances are you’ll be thinking about your next visit before you’ve even left. For lovers of matcha and cosy, low-key cafés, this spot is a must.
