Correction (4 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 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Which cafes near Ormond take their coffee seriously, and what do they say about it themselves? This page covers five places in and around Ormond: three in McKinnon, one in Glen Huntly and one in Caulfield South.
Roasters first. Where a cafe names its roaster on its own site or menu, we say so. Where it does not, we say we could not find one, rather than guess.
Every place was checked at two independent sources, and every price is copied from the page it was published on. Hours are the cafe’s own listing unless we say otherwise, so check before you go.
