Located at 303 Exhibition Street in the Melbourne CBD: Fresh, simple and tasty, Decoy offers a great variety of cafe style dining - from breakfast through to lunch and snacks. We are also a coffee roasting house, serving excellent coffee, brewed from beans roasted on-site.

At Decoy all our beans are roasted in small batches, ensuring each roast comes out at the peak of perfection and highlights the coffee's unique characteristics. We want you to enjoy our coffee when it's at its finest. To ensure the perfect cup of coffee we store our coffee in airtight, recyclable/reusable gas valve bags, which help the coffee, retain its freshness and guard from the effects of temperature, light, and air.

Decoy prefers to focus on the characteristics of single origin beans in order to showcase the efforts of the farmers that work the fields. A coffee is characterized as single origin when it comes from one country and one plantation or growing region within that country. Occasionally we find several beans that simply aren't as happy alone as they are blended. We bring these beans together in blends so that flavours of one can draw out or frame flavours of another. Our roasts range from a Light Cinnamon through to a French Roast. Our expert roasters profile each coffee and roast it to the individual bean's 'sweet spot', as some beans are better roasted darker, while others are just fantastic when roasted light.

Cinnamon Roast
As the coffee beans begin to heat, they reach the first stage of roasting. The beans are light in colour, which shows up bright in your cup. (Colour: Cinnamon Brown)
Full City Roast
The origin characteristics of a particular country or region are brought to the front of your palate in our full city roast. Beans are at their most flavourful state. (Colour: Chestnut Brown)
Vienna Roast
Rich coffee oils evenly cover the surface of the beans to produce a smoky aroma, which produces a smooth, rich cup. (colour: Dark Chocolate Brown)
French Roast
The boldness of this dark roast is seen in the deep coffee oils that cover the surface. The sweet bold aroma and velvety flavour make this an international favorite. (Colour: Mahogany Brown)
