This Aussie-inspired café on Richmond Hill is your go-to for genuinely good coffee and brunch that doesn't try too hard. You'll find Allpress espresso, house-made matcha, and treats like the sticky cinnamon rolls that disappear fast. It's the kind of spot where locals queue for the bacon & egg rolls on Saturday mornings and stay for the chat.
Solid Aussie coffee with local charm
Long Black Richmond has carved out a solid niche as the neighborhood's Aussie coffee haven. The Allpress espresso is consistently well-pulled, and their house-made matcha is one of the few places in Richmond where you'll find it done properly. The menu is small but focused—skip the generic options and go for the sticky cinnamon rolls or the bacon & egg rolls on Saturday mornings. They're known for their in-house baking and the staff clearly takes pride in what they serve.
It's not the flashiest spot in Richmond, but that's part of its charm. The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming, with a steady stream of regulars who know exactly what they want. You'll find yourself coming back for the reliability and the genuine Aussie warmth. Just be prepared for a queue on weekends—the bacon & egg rolls are a Saturday-only special that sells out fast, so arrive early if you want to secure one.
