melbourne takes its coffee seriously in a way that can feel intimidating if you're new to it, but the best places cut through that quickly. addis cafe and roastery on nicholson street in footscray is one of them. footscray itself has always been a suburb that does things on its own terms, and this roastery fits that energy without making a performance of it. the regulars here are genuinely loyal, the kind of loyal that builds slowly and holds. you don't get that without consistency, and consistency in specialty roasting is harder than it looks. the roasting happens on site, which means what ends up in your cup hasn't travelled far or sat long. start with a filter if you want to understand what they're doing with the beans.
