About Project 49

Part espresso bar, part continental grocer, Project 49 pairs Melbourne-caliber coffee with crisp paninis and regional provisions right on Beechworth's main drag. Regulars drop in for porchetta rolls and handmade gnocchi, pulling up a stool at the central share table or ducking outside into the morning sun. Shelves brim with local wines, cheeses, and imported pantry tins—making an impromptu sandwich stop double as a pantry raid.

  • Café & Kitchen Staples: Porchetta paninis, house-made gnocchi, and morning pastries matched with precise espresso.
  • Continental Deli & Pantry: Shelves stocked with cured meats, regional wines, artisan cheeses, and international pantry tins.
  • Communal Table Vibe: A central shared timber table creates an unhurried, welcoming hub for locals and travelers alike.

    Expertly brewed espresso, flaky pastries, and fresh breakfast paninis provide the ideal morning start or mid-ride refuel in town.

    A continental deli setup lets diners explore specialty pantry items, cheeses, and local wines directly alongside their cafe visit.

    Great little deli/cafe, with a great array of produce from around the world.
