Rumble Coffee Roasters

Rumble Coffee Roasters has been supplying Melbourne’s cafes with its beans for years. On a Kensington backstreet, customers can watch all the warehouse action and choose from a range of blends, or seasonal single origins. Buttery baked goods – such as pistachio-and-raspberry blondies, and ham, cheese and tomato croissants – come from Yarraville favourite Cobb Lane.

The site is a chance for Rumble to connect directly with its supporters and share the stories behind its ethical and sustainable coffees. In line with its Transparency Project (which reveals how much growers are paid for their crops), co-owner Joe Molloy encourages customers to pay fair prices for premium products.

The shopfront sells take-home beans and home-brewing equipment – which the team will happily walk you through – as well as alternative milks, hot chocolate and chai. There’s also an environmental focus; you’re encouraged to buy your coffee in tubs (rather than bags) or even bring your own coffee container along.
