Updated June 2026

As the weather gets colder, there’s nothing better than finding a cosy spot for great coffee, and according to our Melbourne-born CEO Matt, nobody does that better than Melbourne itself.

Melbourne’s coffee scene is all about craft, community, and comfort: perfectly poured flat whites, minimalist interiors, and that relaxed “stay a while” vibe.

So if you’re chasing that feeling in London, here are 6 of Matt’s top accessible picks. Each offers unique accessibility features so you can plan your day without access anxiety.
