Batch Coffee Roasters

melbourne takes its coffee seriously, and that's not a cliché so much as a baseline expectation locals carry into every suburb. batch coffee roasters, tucked into viking court in cheltenham, sits within that tradition without coasting on it. cheltenham isn't a precinct that gets written up in weekend supplements, which means the people who end up at batch are usually there because someone told them to go, not because they stumbled in off a tourist trail. that word-of-mouth loyalty tends to mean something, and the standing batch has built among its regulars reflects a consistency that's hard to fake over time. if you're in the southeast corridor and you care about what's actually in your cup, this is where the detour makes sense. start with a filter.
