Not only do they serve excellent coffee, but their pastries are amazing too 🤩 We even pre-ordered two pastries online, so we could just pick them up, super convenient 😙
✨Reuben Corissant (AUD 10.5)
✨Pear and Geraldton Wax Danish (AUD 10)
✨Batch Filter (AUD 5-6)
We picked one savory and one sweet pastry, and both were delightfully crunchy with amazing texture, and the fillings were simply delicious 😋Their daily batch brew changes beans everyday, we tried the Luis Octavio, which had fruity notes, and The Golden Ticket, which combined fruity notes with a chocolatey finish 😉
They also offer a variety of nutty and fruity beans to take home, perfect for coffee lovers 😌

Considering the ubiquity of coffee joints in Melbourne, this is definitely considered a hidden gem. Tucked away in a small alley, you would miss it easily if not for the smell of coffee wafting through the whole alley and the Q of coffee drinkers standing outside eagerly waiting for their dopamine boost.
Menu is simple with coffee, tea and pastries. No brunch menu served here, so the focus is just on good coffee and pastries. There are some shared bench seating outside to enjoy the coffee and maybe meet new coffee friends. The coffee brewed is definitely of a high standard than most cafes here, low acidity with only a slight hint of bitterness, but the coffee flavour shines through even through the oat milk. Atmosphere seating by the alley really gives us a hanoi alley cafe vibe but without the occasional bikes riding through. Even the restroom is small dark but cleaner.
Le wife approves.

Small Batch is a lovely bakery tucked away in a back alley. I was mesmerized by the aroma from 100 meters away as I walked towards the cafe.
The famous tiramisu tart was not in sight; I guess one needs to preorder before heading down. I tried their magic coffee, and it was a good and smooth cup of white coffee. I will return for their pastries again
They have some benches and stools outdoor, sitting outdoors with the good sunny weather brings a different kind of serenity.
Came back for the baked goods and the morning bun is 🤌🏻

Delicious coffee. Close to my home so it's amazing to go by. In even early autumn days or autumn days it's good sitting outside and watching the trees or the people coming and going. I tried a croissant and it was a jewel; flaky, but didn't flake so much you get dirty with the croissant chips haha. It's clean to eat, fluffy and buttery. I think it wasn't a messy croissant eat so I remember that the most to be honest which is quite a lot 🤣delicious place and I'd love to try more danishes or pastries!

Small Batch Roastery in Melbourne is a must for savory pastry fans. Their fermented cheese and chili pastry has an amazing balance of flavors, but the pepperoni croissant truly steals the show—it’s on another level. Flaky, flavorful, and with just the right amount of spice, it’s everything a savory lover could dream of. If you’re after unique, delicious pastries, this spot is worth the trip. Go get it! The coffee is solid too!
