What do you get when you cross an exhibition space, a print shop, a work shop, a book shop, and a coffee shop? Well, something that sounds like the set-up for a really terrible joke, but is actually a building filled with creatives and a buzzing coffee shop headed up by Everyday Coffee<\/a>. Located on the corner of Queensberry Street and Lansdowne Place in the inner-northern suburb of Carlton (a short ten-minute walk from Melbourne\u2019s city center), Everyday Coffee\u2019s latest venue is a small and succinct coffee-shop-inside-a-shop. <\/span><\/p>\n \u2028In the years since opening their first location on Johnston Street, owners Mark Free and Aaron Maxwell have grown and developed Everyday Coffee in quite an organic way. They now roast their own coffee,\u00a0have a Midtown store,<\/a>\u00a0and founded\u00a0All Are Welcome<\/a>\u00a0with baker Boris Portnoy. Their new space was born out of a conversation with longtime customer Ziga Testen<\/a>, who at the time was setting up a new studio on the ground floor at Queensberry Street; it’s a partnership between Testen, design studio Public Office<\/a>, and Perimeter Books<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Everyday Coffee Owners Mark Free and Aaron Maxwell<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The design and feel of the space is comfortable, but quite minimal\u2014wooden bar seating lines the front window, and a coffee workbench sits against the back wall. There’s a communal table, bench seating, and a small book display sitting next to a print workshop, which makes for some fascinating viewing.<\/span><\/p>\n Chatting to Free about their approach to design, he explains that Everyday wanted the new space to have an ad-hoc, work in progress feel. “Because it very much is one,” Free says. “The design came a little from us and our collaborators upstairs, and a little from our cabinetry and furniture makers Dale Holden and Adam Ascenzo.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n While it feels a bit wrong (and even a bit clich\u00e9) to call the space a “pop-up,” that\u2019s ostensibly what it is for the time being\u2014according to Free they could be here making coffee for a month, a year, or indefinitely. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEverything is on wheels,” he says. “So we can roll out any time if the going gets tough.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n For now, Everyday is cranking out espresso drinks with a black powder-coated La Marzocco Linea<\/a>, and offering delectable pastries from All Are Welcome (and some neatly packaged chocolates from Hunted & Gathered<\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe were conscious that we were setting up between the two big universities,” Free says of the location. “So we made it a space where people can grab a quick takeaway but also meet up or work on a laptop or browse the books.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The atmosphere is reminiscent of Everyday’s Johnston Street store, and customers seem to feel at home in the space, setting up their laptops to work on projects and assignments, catching up with friends, or getting their re-usable cups filled before setting off on their way. It\u2019s this approachable feeling that\u2019s made Everyday such a staple within Melbourne\u2019s specialty community\u2014theirs is an ethos of belonging in every new location, with excellent coffee as a delightful extra perk.<\/span><\/p>\n Eileen P.
