About Sunbear Coffee

Unassuming street-side on Collins Street, Sunbear Coffee delivers comforting, scratch-made breakfast fare and serious espresso on curated 1970s tableware. The room hums with folky music, mismatched ceramics, and an open kitchen grilling golden sourdough toasties—from melted cheddar with sweet caramelized onions to thick ham and cheese. Local regulars queue up for flaky croissants, warm muffins, and bowls of spiced apple-pie-style porridge alongside sweet butterscotch lattes.

  • Vintage Vibe & 70s Flair: Curated retro tableware and a buzzing open-kitchen rhythm create an inviting, nostalgic setting.
  • Top-Tier Toasties: Thick-cut grilled sourdough sandwiches loaded with caramelized onions, sharp melted cheese, and savoury ham.
  • Dialled-In Coffee & Sweets: Melbourne-grade espresso pulls served alongside specialty butterscotch lattes and freshly baked morning pastries.

  • Big Egg Sandwich

    It was incredibly delicious, 10/10, but I advise eating it quickly because it’s quite a juicy sandwich with salad ingredients.
