Tucked into a laneway and measuring just 2.5m x 4m, Brewsmith is proving that great things truly do come in small packages. Fitzroy’s newest coffee spot has transformed a steel-doored back entrance into a bustling hub for top-notch coffee, simple eats, and fast, fuss-free service—making it an instant hit with busy locals and coffee aficionados alike.
Despite its compact size, Brewsmith delivers big on flavour. The menu features Penny for Pound bread stacked with premium ingredients, from crispy bacon and egg brioche rolls to golden croissants filled with thick-cut ham and Swiss cheese.
Toastie lovers can indulge in classics like ham and cheese or venture into bold territory with the kimchi and provolone combo. For those seeking lighter options, fresh salads and breakfast pots hit the spot.
But it’s the drinks that truly steal the show. Standouts include the indulgent Tiramisu Iced Latte and the refreshing Strawberry Iced Matcha, alongside Industry Bean Fitzroy Blend coffee, single-origin brews, and artisanal teas.
Open from early morning until lunch, Brewsmith is a quintessential Melbourne hole-in-the-wall experience—great coffee, delicious food, and a whole lot of local charm. Don’t let its size fool you; this little laneway gem is a must-visit.
Brewsmith is at 173 Smith Street, Fitzroy. https://www.brewsmiths.com.au/
