Aunty Peg's sits on Wellington Street in a two-storey Collingwood warehouse that feels built for coffee people rather than general foot traffic. The bar runs along the room like a tasting bench, with stools, shelving, and roastery hum doing most of the scene-setting. It reads less like a standard cafe than a cellar door for Proud Mary.
Aunty Peg's serves coffee black: espresso, pour-over and cold brew. Staff can explain the current showcase lots. Nearby Proud Mary on Oxford Street offers milk drinks and a full breakfast menu.
Coffee
Order a showcase coffee as espresso or filter and ask about its producer and processing. The bar is arranged for tasting and conversation, with roasting equipment close by.
What to order
Beans, grinders and brewing equipment are available beside the bar. Taste a coffee first, then ask for advice on a bag and a recipe for your home brewer.
Service & Room
The room is spacious, crisp, and more working than loungey. You notice the machinery, the height of the warehouse, and the bar-first layout immediately. It is better for a tasting, a quick coffee detour, or a short conversation with someone who cares about the cup than for a long laptop session.
Why Filter Notes shortlisted Aunty Peg's
Come for black coffee, showcase lots and a seat at the brew bar. The cuppings and retail equipment add reasons to visit; choose the nearby Proud Mary café if you want a milk drink or a full meal.
