Your average punter can't just walk into the Cool Hand Coffee's roastery in South Melbourne to grab a freshly brewed cup of joe. And only a handful of Melbourne cafes use its beans. But for three days only, the team is setting up a pop-up cafe where everyday coffee lovers can try some of Cool Hand Coffee's blends.
On Friday, March 15, it'll be open from 6.30am–2pm, and on Saturday and Sunday the public can drop by from 7.30am–3pm. Sample the team's quirky batch brews with strawberry yoghurt, lychee and raspberry candy tasting notes or keep it simple with your usual milky coffee.
The pop-up shop, located at 28 Johnston Street in Fitzroy, will be decked out with artwork by Melbourne-based artists and host some DJs throughout each of the days. Either stick around for a bit and enjoy the temporary space, or get in and get out quickly with a takeaway caffeine hit.
And if you time things right, getting there between 9am and 10am, you'll get your cup of coffee for free. This is a huge win for locals and workers in the area who want a free coffee on Friday or for visitors to the area on the weekend.
