About Code Black Coffee South Melbourne

Perched opposite South Melbourne Market, this outpost delivers serious roastery pedigree alongside inventive daytime plates. Regulars drop in for competition-grade single-origins, smooth batch brews, and playful house creations like the Coco CB—a chilled coconut cold brew topped with velvety foam. Out on the sunlit footpath tables, market shoppers decompress over Turkish eggs with fresh flatbread or chilli scramble before grabbing a bag of beans for home.

  • Roastery Program & Flights: Rotating single-origins, multi-cup tasting flights, and signatures like the coconut cold brew.
  • Market-Side Patio Seating: Positioned directly opposite South Melbourne Market with sunlit outdoor tables for market-day stops.
  • Retail Bean Replenishment: Whole and ground beans ready to take home, spanning house blends and competition-level lots.

  • Fresh Retail Bean Replenishment

    Visitors can take home packaged freshly roasted single-origin and signature house blends right from the counter for daily home brewing.

    Even bought a kg of beans to take home (which pack a punch). Would definitely recommend!!

  • Inventive Kitchen Brunch Dishes

    The kitchen complements specialty roasts with inventive, bold savory plates like spiced chickpeas, flatbreads, and elevated breakfast staples.

    OMG, I thought coffee was totally amazing but it got topped by my incredible breakfast of burnt butter chick peas, roasted chilli harissa, labna, fried eggs, herbs served with Iraqi flat bread.
