Vacation Coffee
Our coffee is roasted in Melbourne
Vacation started in 2016, then an unnamed roastery supplying coffee to some of the best cafes around Melbourne, and operating out of a communal roasting space in Cremorne.
Founders Jimmy, Matt and Kael, each well-established within the specialty coffee and hospitality world, sought out a venue for the first brick-and-mortar Vacation cafe.
A year later, in 2017, their search was over. An espresso bar that seats 10 was built at the base of a historic building, with views of Flinders St.
In 2021 Vacation Cremorne opened it’s doors. A more intimate space, Vacation Cremorne is a beautifully styled espresso bar tucked away off Church St. Concrete slab and natural woods frame a more contemplative coffee experience, away from the buzz and bustle of the CBD.
The same year, Vacation moved house. Now roasting out of a dedicated space in Brunswick, equipped with a Diedrich IR12 roaster. The roasting team is now afforded greater space and flexibility to tweak roasts and to taste and cup coffees, ensuring a high level of quality control and consistency.
