Humble Coffee is a women-run, award-winning café driven by quality coffee and a genuine passion for building a welcoming, conscious community. But it’s not just the perfectly brewed coffee or the friendly faces that keep people coming back— Humble has way more to offer and they are hands down one of our favourite coffee shops in the whole country.

They pride themselves on sustainable practices, from roasting their own specialty beans to the thoughtfully curated menu. Most of their ingredients are sourced from local, small-scale suppliers who share their commitment to quality and care. Their all-day breakfast and lunch menu is entirely meat-free, gelatin-free, and alcohol-free, with a focus on fresh, elevated flavours that celebrate wholesome, seasonal ingredients. Some of our favourite dishes include:

  • Challah French Toast (Mascarpone cream; berries; lemon curd; tahini nut crumble; honey)

  • Balsamic Tomatoes (Slow roasted tomatoes; avocado; poached egg; feta & dukkha on a bed of hummus; served with buttered sourdough)

  • Falafel Gyro (3 Falafel balls; hummus; leaves; cucumber; tomato; red onion; chilli oil; hand-cut chips; tahini dressing wrapped in a pita)

When it comes to baked goods, Humble is truly in a league of its own, and with their new space including a bigger bakery, we’re genuinely excited to see (and taste) what comes next. You can expect both timeless classics, from croissants to banana bread, and creative flavours, such as their elderflower lemon slice and vegan pistachio cake — all made with sustainability and wellness in mind. Their pastry game is elite.

Their space is beautifully designed, with spacious indoor seating — think window-side booths, plenty tables, counter-style seating, and even a tucked-away meeting table — as well as a serene courtyard-style outdoor area. Whether you’re on a solo work date, brunching with your besties, or having a team meeting, Humble has created space for it. There’s even a thoughtful kids' corner with a table and toys to keep the little ones entertained.

Warm interiors of light wood, rustic, earthy tones, playful art, and clean finishes all echo Humble’s ethos of kindness, calm, and community. The atmosphere is as comforting as the food — it’s one of those places that just makes you feel at home.

So whether you’re looking for your new daily coffee spot or a weekend brunch destination, Humble Coffee
