Matchbox Espresso

For anyone living in Allansford who is yet to hear of Matchbox Espresso and for the adventurous travellers exploring along the Great Ocean Road, be sure to receive your next hit of caffeine from this espresso sized bar on Ziegler Parade. With over a decade of experience as a barista in Melbourne, owner Bek Barnes has revamped her garage into an espresso bar resembling a trendy boutique venue one might find down a Melbourne alleyway. Keeping up with urban style, Bek now offers cold drip coffee and gourmet toasted sandwiches with fillings such as double smoked ham, rhubarb relish, spinach, vintage cheddar and tomato. Ideally located for Uni students, parents dropping kids to school and for neighbourhood locals, Matchbox is open early most days for coffee, sweet treats and tasty snacks.
