Origami Coffee

Top choice in Victoria


A one-man operation run by Japanese expat Takeshi, this quirky outdoor cafe is set up in a tiny cabin on a vacant lot. Takeshi does some of the best coffee ($3.50) in Gippsland, using Dukes beans from Melbourne in a hand-lever espresso machine; the whisked matcha (powdered green tea) is also superb. All drinks are topped with anime latte art.

There are seats on the lawn, and it's BYO food. Also check out his origami and DIY kits for sale.
