Dukes Coffee Roasters

Why it's a must-try

Dukes roasts mostly organic coffees bought from small farms and cooperatives across Africa, Asia and the Americas, with each lot traceable to where it was grown. This small café in Ross House, a community-owned building on Flinders Lane, is the best place to try the latest single origins, brewed as espresso, filter or French press.

The fit-out by Chris Connell uses reclaimed timber, recycled tiles and green trim, and there are only a few seats. Order a pour-over with a pastry and perch at the counter.
