About Felix

Opposite Melbourne Uni on Royal Parade, Felix turns out precision flat whites, crusty toasted melts, and a dedicated matcha program. Parkville regulars head straight for the tuna melt—rich, savory, and neatly toasted—paired with an iced matcha strawberry latte or an unsweetened cup sweetened with a touch of honey. Seating inside stays cozy and tight, but pavement tables offer an easy perch to sip and watch the morning trams roll past.

  • Specialty Matcha Bar: Whisked lattes tailored unsweetened or with honey, plus iced mont blanc and strawberry builds.
  • Toasted Melts & Sandwiches: Toasted chicken avocado melts and tuna sandwiches built fresh for campus mornings.
  • Outdoor Street Seating: Compact interior footprint complemented by curbside tables along Royal Parade.

  • Precision Morning Espresso on Royal Parade

    Balanced espresso and smooth lattes provide a quick, dependable morning pick-me-up right across from Melbourne Uni.

    Great cafe opposite Melbourne Uni, have tried multiple toasted sandwiches, all great and a good amount of filling in them. Coffee excellent.

  • Artisanal Tailored Matcha Lattes

    Curated Japanese matcha preparations with customizable sweetness options, including honey, elevate the neighborhood tea experience.

    Nice, creamy and a good strength. I like my matchas unsweetened, but if you prefer there are options like honey!

  • Sunny Alfresco Sidewalk Seating

    Curbside street tables offer a welcome open-air setting to unwind and observe Royal Parade when the interior gets busy.

    The café has a lovely atmosphere and offers outdoor seating, which makes it even better and makes up for the slightly narrow seating inside.

  • Streamlined Takeaway for Commuters

    Convenient takeaway setup perfectly positioned for quick morning grabs while passing through the university precinct.

    store is a little small, better for takeaway!

  • Tuna Melt

    I usually come here for the tuna melt (still the best in town!), but today was my first time trying the hot mocha and it was fantastic, perfectly balanced and not overly sweet.
