Bean purveyors Padre Coffee have officially opened their doors in Paddington. This new concept store joins Melbourne and Noosa locations as a must-visit for any coffee lovers, or want-to-be coffee lovers. Part cafe, part education hub, part shop – Padre Coffee in Paddington does it all. This zen space has room for an intimate coffee meeting (before you ask, yes they have baked goods to snack on), but also a large counter for takeaways, including a very impressive cold brew spout for quick refills.

The great news is they’ve already started with their staff, who can answer any and every question about coffee. Simply tell them how you like to drink coffee, or ask them for a new way to drink it, and they’ll be able to whip you up the perfect blend from their large selection of single origins, blends and roasts.
