Degraves Street & Centre Place
Degraves Street
A narrow lane of coffee shops across from Flinders Street station, with outdoor seating packed with small cafés. It is the best place to experience Melbourne's coffee culture.
Degraves Street and the connecting Centre Place to the north are Melbourne's most representative laneway neighbourhoods. Espresso bars, flat whites and brunch shops line both sides, and the walls are covered in posters and graffiti. Underground, the Campbell Arcade leads straight to Flinders Street station. A cup of coffee costs about AU$5–6, and many shops close early on weekends. From here, it is a three-minute walk to Hosier Lane.
Opening hours
Approx. 07:00–17:00
