You cant go wrong with Collective, although theyre closed from this afternoon through until January 5.
The lads work 6.5 days a week so i think they deserve a bit of a rest.
On the Hawthorn side of things, you can get a great coffee at Liar Liar in Kinkora St (although theyve gotten a bit slack with their once rotating bean options) and Porgie and Mr.Jones on Auburn Road is also a good option.
Neither of those are probably within walking distance, but are worth trying nonetheless.
And lastly, if youre willing to go a little further give Maling Room a shot (on the corner of Canterbury and Maling Roads).
Its a beautiful space and theyve got a daily rotation of three or four rather exciting single origins each day (yesterday i had a Nicaraguan COE that was divine).
They too are closed for a few weeks over Christmas, however.
