Though small in size, the cafe offers a cosy ambience that is ideal for a quick coffee run. Also, the white and wooden accents give you a slice of Melbourne, and makes for a great place to visit in particular if you’re missing the city.

Their menu sees a handful of specialty coffee and non-caffeinated drinks. Apart from their Espresso, which costs $4.50, their caffeinated drinks are all priced at $6, including the Cafe Latte, Flat White, Cappuccino, Mocha, Iced Coffee, and Americano. Otherwise, you can opt for their Iced Chocolate ($5) or Orange Juice ($5), which are apt for the sweltering weather.

If you love their coffee, you can consider getting their house-blend coffee beans that range from $20 to $50. This is a great alternative for those who don’t live in the vicinity of Dempsey!
