Degraves St Laneway

Melbourne's most photographed coffee laneway, a tight strip of cafes buzzing with espresso and brunch energy.

Iconic, bustling Melbourne laneway atmosphere; a narrow cobblestone strip packed with umbrella-shaded cafe tables, a magnet for tourists and locals, especially lively on weekend mornings.

A dense strip of independent cafes side by side rather than a single kitchen, a well-known photo and check-in spot for visitors, and at least one laneway cafe running an evening tapas menu.

Repeatedly cited by reviewers, including international visitors, as capturing genuine Melbourne coffee culture.

Reviewers are split, several call it fair value for a quick coffee and pastry while one calls it overpriced, so value varies by which laneway cafe is chosen.
