About Four Kilo Fish Coffee & Tea

Glenferrie Road’s 25-seat shop skips standard brunch formulas for single-origin Yunnan roasts and regional Chinese plates. Neighbourhood regulars head straight for the house Luk Orm Mapow—cold brew shaken over coconut cream—or order a tight magic pulled at the machine. The kitchen backs up the coffee counter with real punch: thick pork katsu sandos swiped with peanut butter, tender Yunnan lemongrass chicken over rice, and Guizhou-spiced chilli scramble. Stools inside turn over quickly, while the footpath tables catch the morning sun.

  • Yunnan Specialty Roasts: Single-origin roasts from Yunnan poured as clean filter hand brews alongside signatures like coconut-laced Luk Orm Mapow and citrus cold brew.
  • Regional Fusion Plates: Dishes built around regional Chinese profiles, from peanut butter-slicked pork katsu sandos to Guizhou chilli scramble and tender lemongrass chicken.
  • Intimate Neighbourhood Vibe: A compact 25-seat dining room buzzing with local energy, paired with sunny footpath tables on Glenferrie Road.

  • Aged Fermented Pu’er Tea

    Additionally, the Aged Fermented Pu’er Tea 🍵 is beautifully fermented with a hint of sweetness; I initially thought it would taste quite medicinal, but it doesn't at all.

    I suggest to try the little rose pastries, they go so well with coffee and are quite good price for the quality
