At 279, we specialise in coffee, Japanese tea and Musubi, creating a café experience like no other in Melbourne. Our menu is a successful blending of traditional Japanese elements with Melbourne café culture, the experience tied together with a clean and crisp aesthetic featuring local design and craftwork.
Located in a freshly renovated corner building on Victoria Street, West Melbourne. We value good vibes, great food and incredible coffee, and are honoured to be providing locals with a unique ‘Japan X Melbourne’ experience, in a relaxed yet energetic environment.
Curious about our name? 279 was chosen because of its neutrality, giving both the food and coffee a chance to equally shine and knock your socks off when you enter the space. Plus, we figured it would be a handy way to remember where we are, given that it’s our address!
