About Project Zero Coffee Meriton Suites

Tucked down a King Street laneway near Southern Cross, this minimalist coffee bar pushes specialty brews far beyond the ordinary. Purists zero in on bright, plum-noted batch brews, while adventurous regulars chase co-fermented beans evoking strawberry cheesecake and toasted lamington. There is also a rich, layered ube matcha for non-coffee mornings and free sparkling water running on tap. Baristas dial in each pour with zero pretension—no extra charges for plant milks or weekend visits—beside a quiet, sheltered nook built for escaping the city rush.

  • Co-Fermented & Specialty Roasts: Pours bright, plum-forward batch brew alongside co-fermented roasts tasting of strawberry cheesecake, pina colada, and lamington.
  • Layered Ube Matcha: Pulls rich, creamy ube matcha lattes with balanced, earthy sweetness alongside creative iced options.
  • Laneway Nook & Zero Surcharges: A sheltered, heated laneway patio offering complimentary sparkling water on tap and no surcharge for plant milks.
