Coffee in and Around Kew East: Four Cafes Checked

Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.

Four cafes made this list, and two of them have Kew East addresses. Kuche is at 682 High Street and Bean Thief is at 773 High Street. Ora Specialty Coffee is on Pakington Street in Kew, and Superbike Cafe Racers is on Doncaster Road in Balwyn North. So this is coffee in and around Kew East.

Here is the catch. Our fact pack records no roaster, bean origin or milk list for any of the four. This page sticks to what the sources do say: listed hours, AGFG listing tags and, for Superbike, menu prices.

In the data we checked, Kuche, Bean Thief and Ora are filed under the coffee-shop category. Superbike is filed as a cafe.

Kuche — 682 High Street, Kew East VIC 3102

Kuche’s own site lists Monday to Friday 7.00 am to 4.00 pm and Saturday 8.00 am to 3.00 pm. The site lists no Sunday hours, so confirm Sunday before you go. The site carries no recent date, so treat the hours as a guide.

AGFG lists Kuche with the tags “Breakfast”, “Vegan Options”, “Takeaway”, “Child Friendly” and “Alfresco Dining”. Those tags are listing features. We could not read a priced menu.

Roaster: not stated in our sources.

Bean Thief — 773 High Street, Kew East VIC 3102

Bean Thief’s own site lists Monday to Saturday 6am to 4pm and Sunday 6:30am to 4pm. OpenStreetMap’s tag for the cafe gives a different closing time, so confirm before you go. The site is undated, so treat these hours as a guide too.

AGFG tags the cafe “Breakfast”, “Child Friendly”, “Takeaway”, “Alfresco Dining” and “Free Wifi”. We could not read a priced menu.

Laptop policy: not stated in our sources, though AGFG tags the cafe “Free Wifi”.

Ora Specialty Coffee — 156 Pakington Street, Kew VIC 3101

Ora is the only Kew address on this page. AGFG tags it “Breakfast”, “Child Friendly”, “Takeaway”, “Alfresco Dining” and “Free Wifi”. We hold no opening hours for Ora that we can stand behind, so check its site, orakew.com.au, before you go. We could not read a priced menu.

Roaster: the word “Specialty” is in the name, but we hold no roaster or bean detail behind it.

Superbike Cafe Racers — 87 Doncaster Road, Balwyn North VIC 3104

Our sources give no coffee detail for Superbike, so this entry sticks to the listing and the food menu. AGFG tags the cafe “Breakfast”, “Vegan Options”, “Takeaway” and “Alfresco Dining”. We have no opening hours we can stand behind, so check its site before you go.

On the menu (copied from superbikecaferacers.com.au on 9 October 2026):

  • Racers Breakfast Platter: $54
  • Eggs On Toast: $15
  • Avocado on Toast: $27
  • Eggs Benedict: $26

The order: Eggs On Toast at $15, the lowest-priced item we copied.
