About Proud Mary Coffee

Collingwood’s benchmark coffee house balances meticulous bean sourcing with serious kitchen craft. The morning queue moves briskly as floor staff hand out umbrellas in the rain. Inside, the room buzzes over shared timber benches and vinyl records. Serious caffeine seekers pore over dedicated coffee menus detailing bean processing and origins before ordering a flat white or dialing in a magic. Plates match the pace: crisp potato hash piled with thick-cut bacon, tamarind eggplant omelettes, and scrambled eggs alongside marinated avocado on fresh sourdough.

  • Single-Origin Focus: Baristas guide guests through technical bean varieties, natural processing methods, and printed origin story cards.
  • Inventive Brunch Menu: Signature plates include crispy potato hash topped with thick-cut bacon alongside a savory tamarind eggplant omelette.
  • Considerate Hospitality: Attentive floor teams keep queues moving and hand out umbrellas to waiting guests during morning rain.
  • Communal Neighborhood Vibe: Shared timber bench seating indoors and out fosters a bustling, vinyl-soundtracked community scene.

  • Tamarind Eggplant Omelette

    I ordered the tamarind eggplant omelette on the basis that it was the least likely to assassinate my liver given my current negotiations with it. It turned out to be a very wise diplomatic move. Balanced, interesting, and just indulgent enough
