About Rosso Coffee Experience

Inside a light-flooded North Melbourne warehouse, this roastery pairs single-origin coffee education with serious brunch plates. Patrons drop in for free guided cuppings exploring bean origins and roast styles, then stay behind in the open, plant-filled dining room. Tables fill with brisket-topped Huevos Benny, cold brews crowned with pistachio cream, and warm lobster rolls served alongside seasoned fries.

  • Guided Coffee Cupping: Free, bookable tasting sessions walk guests through bean origins and flavor notes before brunch.
  • In-House Roastery: An operational coffee roaster hums right behind the tables inside an airy industrial warehouse.
  • Hearty Cafe Fare: Morning plates range from brisket-loaded Huevos Benny to buttery lobster brioche rolls.

    Jutt the head roaster was incredibly friendly and enthusiastic, and really open to questions and general chats, which made the whole experience so enjoyable.

  • Inventive Full-Service Brunch Menu

    The kitchen serves inventive brunch dishes like the brisket Huevos Benny, lobster brioche rolls, and chicken and waffles.

    Our go to orders would always be the lobster roll (succulent lobster and prawn bits in a brioche roll) with a side of nicely seasoned fries and an addicting aoli dip & chicken and waffles with a unique slaw.

  • Ideal for Dates and Group Catch-Ups

    The interactive cupping format and post-tasting brunch offer an engaging setting for couples, friends, and coffee enthusiasts to connect.

    I highly recommend you try their coffee cupping experience as well (i believe it's free during weekdays). Fun for dates or bonding with friends
