While exploring Melbourne (precovid), we came across this cute blue door and decided to give it a shot. I tried one of their specialty matcha lattes, and it was pretty interesting for sure. The space was very cute and the prices were standard for the area. read more

I had a chai latte here it was so cute and small. The store was packed, the service was fast and nice though! And I really liked the location, so much cool street art to see read more

Best best best matcha latte. After my first visit, I even made excuses to come back. I found reasons to make my way to Drewery Lane. On some occasions, with a glimpse of the time (they close at 6), I knew I could scramble enough of a brisk walk to make it back to Little Rogue for their magic matcha latte. Yeah, I'm pretty much a sucker for it. But once you try it, you'd know why that is. Already sweetened, it has that green tea leafy taste to it, but nothing overboard, just subtle. It's frothed to perfect thick texture a with foamy top. It's green perfectness. Little Rogue itself is pretty cute and quaint. Down an alley way, with a bright door and small steps. This could be part of a tiny house. The décor is random and fittingly tiny and cute. Chairs can be hard to come by if you are in a group, so don't visit here with more than 3 people. There is a smaller room in the back, also with three tiny tables and stools. It's cute and petite and has a way of making you feel like an overgrown giant, or like you've visited a giant dollhouse. Either way, I like it. And if you like matcha lattes, you will too. read more

This place was so good that I had to return immediately! The best, creamiest and flavourful matcha latte. You won't find this place unless you go with someone who knows just where it is. Hidden down what looks like a dodgy laneway, no signage visible from the main streets. You will spot the blue door only once you are standing in front of it. This tiny shop is constantly busy and for good reason. Coffees, teas, and pastries. Just perfect. read more

Little Rogue Coffee - Matcha latte - bring me more!! - Cafes Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

When in Melbourne and you are an avid fan of Matcha... Go to Little Rouge! Hidden inside the city alley on Drewery Lane. Strolling into Little Rouge, you will notice interesting graffiti along the wall. Very characteristics of Melbourne, that I *heart*. There is no clear signage in front of the store, just look out for the bright blue door and you are at the right spot. From the outside, the exterior is very mundane, but once inside, this dessert/coffee shop is probably the homiest cafe I've ever been to. Not fancy in any way, just charming and cute space comes to mind! You'll also likely be bumping elbows with eager Instagrammers looking to get their fix of these photogenic delights. The Matcha Latte! The matcha was very strong in taste! Slightly bitter and texture was quite frothy, a unique cup of latte and absolutely a thing of beauty. Prices are very standard in the area, $4.50 for small and extra dollar for a large cup. Cheers, to the best matcha latte I've ever had. This place is definitely worth many return visits. read more

I've known these guys for several years. They care about what they do and doing it properly. Don't mistake their quietness for arrogance, they know good coffee, they just won't shove it in your face because they are so laid back. Ive seen them develop this space and try to source the best things they could, not just the coffee, but the chocolate (Mörk), cakes, tea, artwork. Coffee is always fantastic. And you can't go wrong with Mörk chocolate either. Tiny space that feels like someones house, which I think it use to be, hidden down an alleyway. You'll feel like it's your secret spot. As everyone says, look for the blue door! read more

Honestly, I really wanted to like this place, espeically with it's location down a side alleyway in the Melbourne CBD, but in the end it really let me down. Maybe it had something to do with my expectations. Anyway, the coffee was basically second rate and, well, that is about it because all this place really sells is coffee. Honestly, if you want a good coffee then maybe you need to look elsewhere. read more

Absolute delight and treat! Must try! Ordered an iced chocolate and iced matcha. The iced chocolate comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which was delicious, but ended up making the drink a little too sweet. The iced matcha was very flavorful and just the right amount of sweetness. Personally I wish the drink was bigger, but that's just cause it was so good. Otherwise it is a good size. I would definitely go back if I'm ever in Melbourne again. read more

This place is adorable! Head down the laneway of Drewery Lane and you'll spot a bright blue door brightening the dark stone walls. As you enter, it's like coming into a little house. Not because it has couches, but for some reason has a small lounge room vibe. Little stools and tables line the cosy space with happy, chatty coffee lovers filling the space. This is not a place to bust out a laptop or meeting with more than 1-2 people, but an awesome an intimate space for a one on one catch up or solo coffee fix. Small Batch beans are on offer, with espresso, pour over or batch brew available. I sampled the batch brew ($3.80) which was delicious. My coffee-alternate counterparts had hot chocolate and chai lattes which they were equally happy with. The guys behind the machines are friendly, they let you pay with card, and you'll no doubt leave raving about what a cute and mood-lifting little space Little Rogue is. read more

I've been to Little Rogue a few times now. It's such a small and discrete entrance it would be very easy to walk past without noticing it (which I'm guilty of a few times). The coffee here is excellent, staff are friendly (though always very busy so don't expect long talks with them). One downside is that it is counter service so you can't order from your table - yeah I know, 1st world problems. There is a small cabinet of tasty pastries but no other food is served. For a nice little coffee break and a place to do some work little rogue is a great place to checkout. read more

Great little coffee shop tucked off the alley. The coffee is excellent, as are the pastries. The staff is super nice. There are a number of seats upstairs, so even if it looks full, they may have room in the back. read more

Little Rogue Coffee - Time for lattes! - Cafes Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

A cute little nook down and alley way! What says Melbourne coffee spots better that this one. Delicious coffee, awesome staff and a great place for a take and go coffee or you can relax by one of the window seats as people wonder down the alley and give you strange looks because they just discovered your sitting in a cafe and have reason to be staring at them. Good little spot and also a nice selection of treats too. read more

If you're at Melbourne Central or in the Swanson St area, don't bother going anywhere else for coffee. Head down Drewery lane and look for a door on the left hand side (coming from little lonsdale st) with a bunch of people in it. There may be a lot of people in the front room, keep in mind there's a small room at the back that seats around 11. Really cute Asian/Korean decor, super trendy, incredible coffee. Get the matcha latte, it's particularly good! read more

Little Rogue Coffee - The matcha latte here is a must - Cafes Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

Really cute little find. Super hard to find, so it was worth it. When you get to Drewery Lane, look about halfway down the alley and find the blue door. Or, look for the 10km speed limit yellow sign. Once inside, another surprise awaits you. There is an extra cozy sitting room towards the back, next to the washroom, behind the barista. I got the matcha latte. It was delicious. Smooth, warm, just what I needed on a grey winter day!! read more

Don't be put off by the Alley it's in, this is a true hidden gem, fantastic coffee and delicious house made cakes. Only tiny with a handful of seats so don't take a big crowd. read more

Venture down the cobble-stoned laneway and look for the blue door when you're in need of a caffeine hit. The team here are welcoming and will make you a cup of coffee (with some of Melbourne's best beans) for you to enjoy while staring out the front windows solving the problems of the world. If you need something to eat, bring your sweet tooth. There's cookies and cakes from some trendy Melbourne bakers that will surely hit the spot. read more

Unsuspecting laneways will always bring you rewards, amirite, Melbourne?

Cute little shop that you could walk past tucked away in an alley. Sadly they didn't have almond milk like most other cafes I've been to, but I went for a strong flat white with soy instead. Creamier than almond milk, quite tasty. read more

What a delicious mocha I enjoyed their great coffee beans, relaxed space and awesome vibe. Little Rogue is an awesome oasis in the middle of crowded Melbourne city, I love it.

I love this little cafe. I was on the hunt for a good matcha latte and decided to give it a try...and by far one of the better matcha latte's I've had in Melbourne. I love how intense the matcha flavour is and it's not too sweet. Other places I've tried before just tasted really milky and bland. I have been back a few times now and it's a place to go when i crave a matcha latte. read more

Little Rogue Coffee - Full flavored matcha latte! - Cafes Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

Soy hot chocolate ($3.80 + $0.50) - 5 stars Loved this! Rich, thick, fragrant, and everything a good hot chocolate should be. They'd run out of pastries by the time we got there (shortly before closing). It's a small place and you enter through a small alley so it might be easy to miss but we found it easily using Google maps. read more

This shop is full of surprises! The matcha latte is definitely the best we've had so far. The flat white (double shot) was just the right texture! We also had green tea cheese cake and chocolate banana bread, hands down to the great texture n flavor! We definitely visit here frequently for the remainder of our trip. read more

My new favourite thing, good people, great coffee. Just a great cafe for a quick, quiet retreat. read more

Sometimes I get a cup of coffee in Melbourne and I'm like "damn that is a good cup of coffee". Today was one of those days. I got a strong flat white and the flavour was incredibly complex and fruity. They had a few varietals listed on a chalkboard, so you know this place is serious. On the downside, the Little Rogue is very small and the coffee accompaniments were sparse and unexciting. The vibe is not: sit and relax and chill for a minute, but rather drink this good ass cup of coffee and be gone. Takeaway is probably best. It's definitely worth a short walk down a dodgy alley. Look for the blue door. read more

Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Creme Dela creme the Rolls-Royce the Bentley of chai tea! The way this cafe pays attention to detail, the flavors they use, the fact that they let ingredients steep for about 5 to 6 hours a day before they serve their chai and the service shows the quality and craftsmanship that goes into the process. Now Stop reading and go there already! read more

Was looking for a nice boutique coffee stop. Ordered a flat white and it was very good.

This place never disappoints. Cute little place with friendly staff and the best Matcha Latte in town! If I go to the city, I go to little rouge read more

Wandered in here for a quick cup of coffee on a Tuesday afternoon. The place is small but feels quite bright and spacious. Ordered a soy latte and it was perfectly made. Service was prompt and friendly. Definitely recommend a visit here especially if you're looking for a reprieve from the crowds. read more

Love this place! Chilled out spot. Tasty Japanese style cakes. Good coffee too. Can sit in the back room

Lovely coffee, try the small batch filter! Very unique flavours, and the bowl cup with wooden plate for serving looks very funky. Pleasant atmosphere, very much for regulars and those in the know, but I wish they had slightly more food to offer. read more

Great little laneway cafe with excellent coffee and an open, peaceful, and friendly vibe. Reminds me a little of a couple of hipster cafes in Tokyo - paying attention to the aesthetic detail without hitting you over the head with it. Will be back when around the Melbourne central area for sure. read more

Could only drink a few mouthfuls of my takeaway "magic" flat white before depositing it in the round filing cabinet up the street. Apparently "magic" refers to double ristretto three quarters the trouble is the "smooth blend" "perfect for milk coffees" bean suggested by staff was sour and undrinkable. read more
