Espresso
Espresso is a short, concentrated coffee with rich crema, chocolate depth, gentle fruit notes, and a clean finish, made for focused coffee drinkers.
$3.50
Product Details
This short coffee is built around pressure, timing and balance: finely ground coffee, hot water, a rich crema and a concentrated finish that stays clean.
It suits a quick takeaway stop, a focused sit-down coffee or a slower pause near High Street when you want flavour without milk or extra sweetness.

Best With
Sausage Roll
Flaky pastry and seasoned sausage filling give the espresso a strong savoury match.
Quiche
Buttery pastry and savoury egg filling work well beside the short, concentrated coffee.
Smashed Avocado Toast
Fresh avocado on crisp toast gives the espresso a lighter breakfast pairing with clean contrast.
Product Information
A short coffee for focused flavour, quick breaks and savoury pairings
This drink is made for customers who want the coffee flavour without milk. The extraction keeps the body concentrated, the crema gives texture, and the finish stays direct enough to sit beside richer food.
It works well when you have time to stand at the bar, take a quick seat and enjoy a proper coffee before heading through Reservoir or Thornbury.

Product Quality
An espresso built around pressure, crema and clean flavour
A good short coffee should taste concentrated, structured and balanced from the first sip. The crema should sit neatly on top, the body should feel rounded, and the finish should hold sweetness without turning bitter.
Ingredient quality matters because the drink is direct. Market Lane Coffee gives the bar a roasted-in-Melbourne espresso reference using beans from São Benedito in Piatã, Bahia and San Antonio Selection in Inzá, Cauca for chocolate fudge, macadamia and dried apricot character. CAPI supports the palate-cleansing water moment with mineral springs from Victoria’s Central Highlands, and Sugar Australia gives the bar a familiar sweetener option when a customer wants a softer finish.
