Melbourne Cafe and Coffee Culture Walking Tour
Overview
Meet outside iconic Hill of Content Bookshop at 32 Bourke Street in the Melbourne CBD. Look out for our guide with the yellow golf umbrella.
On this Cafe Culture tour, your guide will lead you to explore the maze of Melbourne’s laneways, learning how the coffee culture evolved from the coffee palaces of the ‘50s to the trendy cafes of today. This tour gives you the chance to escape the most crowded spots in favor of smaller, less-frequented lanes, hiding away some of the most unique and interesting cafes. Soak up the aroma of roasting coffee beans, while tasting the delights that Melbourne cafes have on offer.
This tour isn’t just for coffee enthusiasts; tea, chocolate and sweet treats also feature on this tour.
After indulging in some of the best cafes and delights Melbourne has on offer, your tour concludes with a great cafe-style lunch in yet another unique, hidden Melbourne location.
