How this page is built. Every venue below is drawn from OpenStreetMap and scored on recorded facts — Someone needs coffee before 8am - before a shift, a flight or a commute. Venues that OpenStreetMap knows nothing relevant about are left off rather than padded in, which is why this list is shorter than the total number of cafe-type venues in Melbourne. Full method.

Frequently asked questions

How many Melbourne cafes are on this list?

This page ranks the top 40 of 604 cafes in Melbourne that OpenStreetMap records at least one relevant detail for. Of the 40 shown, 5 have Wi-Fi recorded and 40 publish their opening hours.

Which of these Melbourne cafes have Wi-Fi?

Of the venues on this page, Scholar & Co, Little Buddy Cafe, Stathmos, Alfa Bakehouse and Calmer Cafe all have Wi-Fi recorded in OpenStreetMap. Wi-Fi is not tagged for every venue, so absence here means "not recorded", not "no Wi-Fi".

Which of these cafes stay open late?

Michel's Patisserie, Calmer Cafe, Brunetti and Nikos are open until 11pm or later on at least one day of the week, according to the opening hours published in OpenStreetMap.

Which of these cafes are step-free?

Mayflour Cafe & Cupcake Shop, Bean Around Bakery-Café, Clay Oven, Mark Anthony Cafe and Starbucks are tagged as wheelchair accessible in OpenStreetMap. Accessibility tagging is incomplete, so it is worth confirming with the venue.

How is this list ranked?

Venues are scored on the facts OpenStreetMap records about them - open by 6am, open by 7am, open by 8am, wi-fi recorded, takeaway available - and ranked by that score. A venue with no relevant detail recorded is left off the list entirely rather than padded in. Nothing on this page is a paid placement.
