🍞☕️🫶 more than just coffee 🏠: @madeleinedeproust_melb 📍: @marketlane 📝: Coffee and pastries are the perfect combination, and Market Lane Coffee never disappoints! With several locations scattered throughout Melbourne's inner suburbs, this cozy spot has become my go-to for a delightful caffeine fix and delectable treats. ❤️: But let me tell you about their Tuesday mornings - a special affair where they bring in the most heavenly madeleines. I had the pleasure of indulging in their Yuzu and Chocolate madeleines, and oh my, they were pure bliss! The yuzu variant offered a refreshing twist with its light and zesty flavors, while the chocolate one took me on a journey of intense Valrhona chocolate goodness. ☕️✨🥐

Heard that their coffee is good, so went there to try out their coffee today on 15 March 23. I ordered a Latte. My comment is that it’s not a nutty, full body coffee as I would like it, and the coffee tasted slight fruity acidic….. not my favourite, but is good coffee for sure! The downside is the price is a on the high side.

Coffee was good, and the staff were courteous. Three stars for not keeping either chocolate or skimmed milk. Coffee is relatively expensive.

Popular coffee place for locals. The coffee is good indeed and the staff are friendly.

Beautifully designed coffee shop on the Paris end of Collins Street (near Parliament station). There are outdoor seating to people watch and comfy booth tables inside. Great coffee and lovely staff.

I bought coffee beans for souvenir. I like the design of the packages. The cafe was located in the business district. So many business men/women ordered a cup of coffee in the weekday morning.

A coffee shop without soy milk...

Absolutely loved the vibe of this speciality coffee cafe. The coffee was fantastic, a rich and golden blend. A delicious crusty croissant and friendly service delivered all with a smile. Bought a little take home pack of beans too. Images are copyright.

Market Lane are fantastic, they make the best filter coffee in Melbourne. The staff are always keen to give advice on brewing technique and equipment if they aren't too busy.

This is consistently my favourite coffee shop in Melbourne. Every single coffee is made with absolute care and attention to detail, and I have never been disappointed. When I am back home in NSW, I order their beans for delivery. The customer service from their mail order team is second to none, and I love the hand written cards that appear in each delivery. Highly recommended.

Lovely coffee shop in Melbourne CBD. The staff are really friendly and the cup of tea and Croissant I had were delicious. The staff give you a complimentary glass of sparking water. There are tables inside or outside the cafe to enjoy your drinks and food. I will definitely be back next time I visit the city.

✩ A staple cafe in the Paris-end of Collins Street. ✩ Really glad that it now offers oat milk for all of us non-dairy drinkers! ✩ Staff are very friendly and accomodating. ✩ If you're lucky enough to pop in during a quiet period, there's some indoor seating for you to sit and enjoy your coffee, pastry and "The Big Issue" magazine (which you can purchase from a friendly, nearby vendor).

Lovely coffee place. Unfortunately don't do mocha or almond milk. The coffee was really nice though.

Great coffee, quick and polite service Only one size of coffee and limited alternative milk selection. Offers a selection of unique pour over filter coffee if you are willing to wait for it to brew. Can recommend for a cute date or a morning coffee.

Love that this company is a B-corp and it’s environmental/social initiatives. Really friendly service and gorgeous set up. Unfortunately, our coffees were a bit sour and the cups began to leak

Delicious coffee. Small cafe, but awesome coffee and yummy danishes.

I enjoyed every store of Market Lane. We don’t need to say this’s coffee, Amazing coffee!! And I think here has different mood from other stores feeling like cozy and woody. Highly recommend this cafe!

Just love this place. The staff were really friendly, coffee were made with care and absolutely to my taste, superb. Baguette and croissants were excellent too! The effortless minimalist design of the place just makes you feel great being there.

Nice coffee, peaceful ambiance, great when you can a grab a seat inside on the day like today. Staff are really friendly and willing to help with any questions related to their coffee. Recommended!

I paid $6 (which is much more expensive than other cafes) for a Magic coffee and received: - a coffee (in a paper cup) with no lid - a 10 minute wait - no latte art Not to mention the coffee didn’t taste that good. I most likely will not be returning.

Came across this hidden gem of a cafe on Collins street in the Melbourne CBD, whilst walking off the cheeseburger and chips for lunch. Decor is very art deco giving an old time vibe. Great service and coffee.

Usually busy between 8 and 9 am on weekday mornings, market Lane Coffee has been making seriously amazing coffee for years. Market Lane caters for serious coffee lovers as it sells only coffee and tea made from coffee leaves. You can also buy lots of coffee accessories, but I just like to go there for a robust tasty espresso. The service is excellent, and the one occasion, I had a disruptive customer. The shop assistant helped him leave and gave me a free coffee. By the way, this disruptive customer who sat next to me decided to get on his phone and started swearing constantly to someone on the phone really by the way, this disruptive customer who sat next to me, decided to get on his phone and started swearing constantly to someone on the phone really loudly. It isn’t the best place to drive to make it; instead, it is a stopover before heading into the office. There’s a tram stop on Collins Street just outside the store, which is the last up before the tram turns onto Spring Street...

I had a great coffee experience over there. The aroma of Market Lane’s coffee is inviting. For those who appreciate the art of coffee, Market Lane is a destination that consistently delivers excellence in each cup, making it a top choice for both seasoned connoisseurs and those looking to explore the world of specialty coffee. They also offer a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that encourages to savor coffee and engage in meaningful conversations. It is high recommended. Oat Latte 5/5

One of the best coffee in town! Great experience in a very cozy place. The coffee is outstanding, the pastry is great, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

The coffee beans are really nice but minor figures oat milk does not suit the espresso flavor. Makes it really acidic! With another oat milk brand would be 5 stars

Good coffee

Bodiless and watered down coffee Do not recommend

Nothing impressive about this coffee shop, nowhere near the States quality level. Only 1 cup size!!!

One of the best coffee shops chains in the world. I was allowed the pleasure of visiting back on Saturday, 14 July 2012.

Very good coffee, venue is small however and it can be hard to get a seat.

Superb coffee

Market lanes coffee is always very smooth and very consistent. You can count on it always be good. I prefer this venue as it is super intimate and chill compared to is busy counterpart at Queen Vic.

What a great place. Went to find another coffee shop but it was closed. Decided to try Market Lane, what a good decision. Great service & the best coffee for a long time. Highly recommended.

Sat in this morning at the Collins St branch and aside from the amazing coffee the service was superb - after overhearing us talking about how you could really taste the fruity notes in our longboard blacks, the woman came over and gave us a free sample of another coffee - so thoughtful!

Market Lane in Collins Street is same amazing coffee but with ample seating and a great location at the Paris end of Collins! First class!!

Very good:))

Great coffee, decent customer service.

Good Coffee, bit overpriced.

Wonderful and helpful staff and a nice environment for a solo coffee or a catch up with someone. Market Lane make some of the best coffee in Melbourne and it's worthwhile buying some beans if you're into making your own drinks at home. Only downside is that the coffee here can be pretty pricey in comparison to the competition. But, you do get what you pay for!

Wonderful coffee in a calm and pretty setting. The decor is great, contemporary and considered. The front can be busy, but the back manages to stay soothing throughout. There are booths and a little bar. Coffee is serious and tasty. They've got room for pourovers and a few different beans to choose from. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and location.

No hot chocolate? Little disappointed that they don't have more of an offering, given the traffic that goes past.

I don’t like the fact that Market Lane only serves dairy milk but overall, the coffee is generally good and pretty consistent and the service is nice, so I rate it.

Amazingly sweet and smooth coffee with cherry and chocolate notes. This store got me into espresso and I haven't looked back. Bit pricey at $6 but I think the quality is there if you dine in and appreciate coffee.

One of the best coffee I had in Melbourne. Especially this branch of Market lane. The building it self is magnificent 💫

Coffee and coffee tea (cascara). Friendly staff with a casual style seating area. Filled with wooden aesthetics to give a warm cosy feeling.

Always good. The most consistent cap in the Paris end.

Believe me, i love their coffee the most. though it is a little expensive but worth every sip.

One of my fav coffee shops in Melbourne. Quick grab of a cuppa for morning runs. Flat white is smooth and nutty. Their pastry is yummm!

Coffee was pretty good, but nothing but cows milk available. Expensive too, even for city prices. The staff were friendly, but there are better, cheaper coffees within walking distance.

$6 for a small regular take away coffee, when questioned the price (and I will pay for quality) the reply was 'we are a specialist' coffee shop. Let me tell you, there are many specialist coffee shops with better coffee and they don't blatantly rip off their customers. oh, lucky me, I was offered a .20cent discount for a keep cup order. I voted with my feet and got a great coffee for $5 around the corner.

Service was amazing, but coffee was a little too bitter for my liking. Some outdoor seating available. Limited seating, can get a little crowded during lunchtime.

Simply the best coffee I've ever tasted!

One of my favorites in Melbourne. Great great service. I got a canelé and its one of the best I’ve had. Also tried the coffee spritz, very interesting and refreshing. The free sparkling water was a nice touch!

My go-to place for coffee at the top end of Collins, though space can be limited at most peak times...lucky I prefer to stand

Great place, usually busy on rush hours. Friendly baristas, excellent coffee and pastry!

Great coffee in a beautiful venue. Good place to pick up supplies to brew your own coffee at home.

Great coffee but a little expensive. Great croissants etc. Very nice staff in a great little spot.

Great outpost from one of the best roasters in Australia. The coffee is great. Try the brownie.

One of my favorite cafes in city! Always serve amazing coffee to make my day!

Lovely little cafe at the Paris end. Top marks for friendliness and efficiency. Highly recommended.

Really chill atmosphere, and the staff were lovely. The coffee was great too!

It was a lovely place. Coffee and bread were perfect!

Great range of excellently roasted filter and espresso coffees. Up there with the best.

Great coffee, amazing croissant.. not enough indoor seating for a wet winter day.

They only sell cow's breastmilk here, no ethical milk alternatives. Unfortunately I'm not a baby cow, so I couldn't get a coffee here.

They only do full cream milk. Nothing for lactose intolerant people no soy, so almond nothing.

There are only three seats inside. It was smaller and more compact than I thought, but the coffee was nice.!

Market Lane has the most consistently great coffee of any Cafe in Melbourne. Staff are friendly and consummate professionals. The best Cafe for your daily grind.

What kind of garbage cafe has no soy milk?! Not everyones guts can process lactose!

No non-dairy milk options. Oh well...

Great coffee and banana bread, friendly chorister barista.

Consistently the best coffee this side of the CBD. Coffee is great in all styles - with milk, pour over, cold brew - and they have a great variety of beans.

Makes the best coffee

Great vibe fabulous coffee.

Good place to rest

Nice little place at the top of Collins st. Lovely ambient music playing as I entered. One is given complimentary glass of sparkling water with their coffee, always an impressive touch. My coffee was silky strong and utterly quite faultless and gorgeous. Service was quiet warm and lovely. I’ll return for sure.

Amazing oat milk coffee soooo delicious. Service was friendly and great ambience too

The best little cafe in Melbourne's CBD. I'm always greeted with friendly faces and a beautiful cup of coffee every time. The manager, Holly, has created a cosy yet sophisticated atmosphere that feels inclusive for everyone. I am always happy to make the trek from lower Bourke Street just to get my ML hit for the day.

Thumbs up!

beautiful filter

They have very good soy milk and croissants are superb and amazing

Coffee is fine. Not having any milk other than dairy is just going to alienate people.

The staff were friendly. Nice coffee, fast service Best for takeaway - everyone loves the printed cups!!

The coffee tasted sour and not suitable with the milk base coffee, there are not many milk options compare to other cafes in Melbourne. It’s disappointing.
