Housed in the old WB Ellis auction house in North Melbourne, Auction Rooms is a coffee roastery and cafe, serving breakfast and brunch.

Inside, concrete floors, distressed brick and plenty of steel combine for an industrial chic look. Enjoy the vibe with the help of local beers and wines, and easy-drinking cocktails. There is also the belly-warming menu. It’s just a single page, yet it covers plenty of bases. Big and small. Sweet and savoury. Flavours Mexican, American and Middle Eastern.

Purchase coffee beans to take home, choosing from the daily single-blend, small-batch roasts. Or head along to a tea information session.

Or just sit back and soak up the atmosphere while pairing your coffee with fabulous cakes.
