Making its home within the bustling Footscray Market, Little Common is a pint-sized European-style coffee bar from the minds behind long-running inner west favourite Common Galaxia. It's smaller than its established Seddon sibling with a focus on takeaways, an industrial fit-out and minimal seating.

Little Common is showcasing beans from A Plus Coffee Roasters, across a range of specialty, single origin and house blend coffee. The offering heroes stronger, richer brews, designed to really kick-start your day on your way to Footscray Station.

Drop in and pull up a barstool to enjoy one of Head Barista Jordan Grimaldi's expert cups, perhaps matched with a bite from the short but sharp food menu. A handful of Common Galaxia's best-loved sandwiches get a look-in here, alongside bagels loaded with salmon or local pastrami, and a range of fresh cold-pressed juices. If you're yet to get acquainted with this crew's sandwich game, just know that past standout combinations have included the likes of a toasted reuben with pastrami, red cabbage, caramelised onion and gruyere, and a hearty meatball sub loaded with red sauce, roasted capsicum, aged cheddar and ranch.

You'll also spy a line of Assembly teas, as well as a retail selection of ground coffee and beans for home.

And, to celebrate its grand opening, Little Common will be treating visitors to some freebies, from 7.30–9am, this Tuesday, May 28. Roll in to enjoy a free coffee, as well as complimentary bites from the sandwich menu.
