Melbourne's #1 Pop-Up Retail Café Service
Melbourne’s café standards are high—and when a tenancy gap leaves a lobby without great coffee, it’s immediately felt.
Our pop-up retail café service brings a fully equipped, barista-led café into your building fast, keeping amenity, foot traffic, and tenant satisfaction strong while you secure your next long-term operator.
Forward-thinking Melbourne asset managers are using mobile specialty coffee solutions to maintain a seamless café presence that enhances experience and supports commercial performance.
Submit an enquiry online and connect with our Melbourne team on a discovery call. We’ll assess your needs and recommend the right solution for your space.
We create a tailored proposal for your site, outlining the café setup, minimum-revenue model, menu options, and all inclusions—designed specifically for you.
Once approved, our Melbourne operations team manages a seamless installation—so your café is serving residents, tenants, or visitors from day one.
We gather feedback & optimise your service throughout the engagement, ensuring your pop-up café continues to support tenant experience & building performance.
One simple model, designed for Melbourne’s short-term commercial leases.
We provide the full café setup and Melbourne-based team – you simply agree the minimum revenue.
We take care of everything—from site setup and daily operations to final pack-down—so your Melbourne asset or workplace can offer a café-quality experience without taking on a permanent lease or extra workload.
Our fully equipped pop-up café brings Melbourne’s iconic coffee culture directly into your building—without the need for a permanent fit-out.
From bold black coffees for early commuters to silky milk-based favourites and Melbourne’s beloved Magic, our menu caters to every taste, dietary preference, and season.
Whether it’s a smooth flat white, an oat piccolo, a long black, or a comforting hot chocolate on a cold morning, your pop-up retail café delivers a complete Melbourne café experience on-site.
Pair your pop-up café with fresh, locally sourced grab-and-go food from our Melbourne partners.
Choose from artisan Melbourne-made sandwiches, nourishing salads, vibrant fruit cups, and premium snacks—perfect for busy mornings, lunch service, or high-traffic periods in your building.
We manage the entire process—stocking, replenishment, and streamlined digital ordering—so your pop-up café runs smoothly every day with zero effort from your team.
