Patricia's original bar is tucked behind Little Bourke Street. Inside, pale walls, a marble counter and standing room keep the space compact; outside, customers gather in the lane. Choose this address for a weekday espresso or batch brew. The second shop at 50 Lonsdale Street has more space and a separate pour-over room.
The menu is equally trimmed back. Black, white, and filter are the core orders, with Patricia now roasting all its coffee at its own Coburg North roastery and keeping the food to a short pastry-led list. The result is a room with a clear job: give you a very good cup quickly, then let you get on with the day.
Coffee
Patricia roasts its own coffee in Coburg North. At the original bar, choose black, white or batch-filter coffee; the short menu keeps decisions quick when there is a queue. Head to Lonsdale Street if you want to compare hand-brewed coffees.
What to order
The pastry shelf offers a small selection from local bakeries. It is enough for a snack with your coffee; plan a separate stop if you want a cooked breakfast.
Service & Room
The standing counter and lane outside suit a brief visit. Expect a queue during the weekday rush, and avoid planning around finding a seat at the original shop.
Why Filter Notes shortlisted Patricia Coffee Brewers
Come for house-roasted espresso or batch brew in a compact CBD bar. Little Bourke Street suits takeaway and a short standing stop; Lonsdale Street is the better option for a slower filter-coffee visit.
