Correction (2 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten, and every place below was checked against its own current information.
Every place on this list gets the same first question: does it name its roaster somewhere public? Two do, in what we read. Kuche lists Seven Seeds on its own website, and an AGFG listing names Allpress for Willo. Ora, Briquettes and Laurent don’t name a roaster in the pages we read, so they say “not stated” rather than a guess.
We could copy no coffee price from any of the five. The only prices on this page are Laurent’s pastries, taken from its chain-wide online menu. What follows is hours, roasters and the facts the venues publish. The quality in the cup isn’t something a page can tell you.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Roaster | Hours as listed |
|---|---|---|---|
| A roaster named on the cafe’s own site | Kuche (Kew East) | Seven Seeds | Mon-Fri 7.00 am - 4.00 pm |
| An Allpress stop | Willo Cafe | Allpress (AGFG listing) | 7:00 AM - 2:00 PM Mon-Fri |
| The earliest start | Briquettes Cafe | Not stated | Mon-Fri 6am - 12.30pm |
| Specialty coffee with a kitchen | Ora Kew | Not stated | Mon-Fri 7AM - 3PM |
| Coffee with pastry | Laurent Bakery | Not stated | Mon-Fri 7:00am - 4:30pm |
Ora Kew — 156 Pakington Street, Kew VIC 3101
Roaster: not stated.
Ora’s own site describes “Specialty coffee, fresh seasonal breakfast and lunch menu” and says it has been a Kew coffee institution for over a decade. Weekdays it is open 7AM to 3PM, weekends 8AM to 3PM, with the kitchen closing at 2.00pm both ways, so the last hour runs without the kitchen. Its menus are images, so we could copy no drink prices.
Go for: the specialty coffee; read the board for the roaster.
Willo Cafe — 56 Willsmere Road, Kew VIC 3101
Roaster: Allpress, per the AGFG listing.
Willo has no website that we could find, so this entry rests on listings. AGFG gives Monday to Friday 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Saturday 7:30 AM to 2:00 PM and Sunday 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and names Allpress Coffee. No drink prices were captured.
Go for: the Allpress that AGFG lists. If you want something with it, AGFG also lists the Willo Roll, served on a brioche bun.
Kuche — 682 High Street, Kew East VIC 3102
Roaster: Seven Seeds, per Kuche’s own site.
Kew East rather than Kew proper. The site lists “Seven Seeds Specialty coffee”, with hours of Monday to Friday 7.00 am to 4.00 pm and Saturday 8.00 am to 3.00 pm, closed public holidays. It also says it caters to gluten free, vegan and vegetarian, dairy free, nut free and low FODMAP requirements. The menu is published as images, so no prices were copied.
Go for: a Seven Seeds coffee. Of the five places here, it’s the only one whose own website names its roaster in the pages we read.
Briquettes Cafe — 6 Harp Road, Kew VIC 3101
Roaster: not stated.
This is a morning-only cafe, going by its hours. Its own Linktree page lists Monday to Friday 6am to 12.30pm, Saturday 6.30am to 12.30pm and Sunday 7am to 12pm. Restaurant Guru shows outdoor seating and takeaway as listing features, which is aggregator data and not a statement from the cafe. We found no menu text, so no prices.
Go for: the 6am weekday start, which is the earliest listed hour on this page.
Laurent Bakery — 251 High Street, Kew VIC 3101
Roaster: not stated.
A bakery and patisserie, with the Kew branch listed Monday to Friday 7:00am to 4:30pm and Saturday to Sunday 8:00am to 4:30pm. We did not capture a coffee list for Laurent, so check what it pours. Its chain-wide online menu (not Kew-specific) lists a plain croissant at $5.90, a pain au chocolat (croissant dough rolled around chocolate) at $7.30 and a chocolate éclair at $8.60.
Go for: the plain croissant, $5.90, as the pastry to pair with whatever you order.

How we checked
On 2 October 2026 we read Kuche’s, Ora’s and Laurent’s own websites and Briquettes’ own Linktree page, and confirmed each address at a second source: OpenStreetMap, Restaurant Guru or Laurent’s locations page. Willo has no website that we could find, so its address and hours come from AGFG, Restaurant Guru and OpenStreetMap listings. Laurent’s prices are from its chain-wide menu page, and menus change. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: they show the kind of scene, not these venues.
