Book NowAbout MAKER Richmond
Tucked behind a roller door in a Richmond backstreet, this airy roastery pours dialled-in single origins and batch brew beside humming machinery. Large viewing glass reveals the roasting workshop out back, while the front room fills with sunlit greenery, cycling crews, and the hiss of sparkling water on tap. Regulars stop in for a smooth flat white and an almond croissant, lingering over pour-overs at the communal benches.
- Precision Filter & Single Origins: Baristas pour dialled-in batch brews, V60 filters, and single-origin espressos alongside retail beans for home setups.
- Visible Roastery Workshop: Massive glass windows let guests watch beans roast in the production workshop while sipping at sunlit warehouse tables.
- Sparkling on Tap & Bites: Still and sparkling water flow on tap to accompany fresh almond croissants and toasted sandwiches.

Before you head over
Practical tips for timing your visit, ordering, and finding your way
Plan Around a Limited Food Menu
Expect a compact menu centered on pastries, croissants, and toasties rather than full cooked brunch dishes.
Factor in Peak Morning Wait Times
Arrive prepared for busy morning rushes and cycling group queues, which can extend filter brew times during peak hours.
Navigate Backstreet Parking Carefully
Hidden in a light industrial backstreet, street spots can require patience, so plan a little extra time when navigating nearby.
