Peddler Espresso and Sergy Boy Are the CBD's Two New Specialty Coffee Hot Spots

On the hunt for some new CBD coffee destinations to add to your rotation? Handily enough, we've just scored two welcome additions, as specialty spots Peddler Espresso and Sergy Boy both move into One Melbourne Quarter.

Making their home within the building's striking lobby, the duo sits beneath the new Collins Street Sky Park, bringing a new double-whammy coffee offering to that oft-forgotten pocket near Southern Cross Station.

Rocking an impressive Woods Baggot fit-out, complete with punchy red Levanto Italian marble countertops, Peddler is the latest creation from Abbotsford's designer caffeine haven Kitty Burns. The newcomer has a European lean to both its food and espresso offering, the menu crafted almost entirely on produce from South Melbourne's Emerald Hill Deli. Expect crafty grab-and-go options, such as toasted sandwiches stuffed with bacon, gruyère, blackberry jam and jalapeño, classic baguette combinations, and croissants filled with sopressa and provolone.

Meanwhile, new neighbour Sergy Boy comes from the minds behind fellow CBD spots Sargon House of Coffee and Urban Deli, featuring Christina Kotsiris design work and a boutique coffee offering.

There's a whole lot more to come, too, with around 40 food, beverage and lifestyle retailers set to call this precinct home once complete.

Find Peddler Espresso and Sergy Boy at One Melbourne Quarter, 699 Collins Street, Melbourne.
