OUR STORY

Opening in February 2017, Northside is inspired by the thriving cafe culture of Melbourne, Australia, where coffee is not just a caffeine fix, but a way of life. Combining the essential Aussie trinity of delicious brekkie (brunch), friendly service + third wave coffee, Northside is a space to take a pause from the busyness of everyday life, soak up the atmosphere and feel like you’re a part of it all.

Born from the love of our morning ritual, we wanted to bring to Kingston our take on what coffee and brekkie really means to Melbournians: authentic service, genuine connection and high quality products, all in a space where you feel at home.

The café culture in Melbourne is second to none. With it’s roots grounded in Italian and Greek immigration in the 50’s, the communities in Carlton and Brunswick ensured that a love of espresso was firmly placed on the north side of the Yarra River. As the years progressed, coffee began to merge with fresh produce and the laconic, laid back sensibility of Aussie beach culture, seeing the emergence of a unique style of café.

We are proud to bring a piece of our other homeland to beautiful Kingston + look forward to meeting you.
