Special concept: worth seeing for what it is
Melbourne · South Melbourne, Australia
Why it’s on the route
ST. ALi is a converted South Melbourne warehouse that guides credit as a model many later Melbourne cafes followed. Listings say it roasts its own coffee and offers batch brew and drip, alongside a cheffy all-day kitchen. Because the menu is meal-led, it fits as a visit for coffee history rather than a roastery bar.
