The Old Chamber is located at 395 Collins St in Melbourne and is a brilliant spot for your next city coffee. Located in the beautiful old BNZ building, this busy cafe is the best place on Collins St to get your next coffee. There is no shortage of coffee dispensaries on this city corner but, having tried almost all of them, many times over, I would only recommend The Old Chamber. Their house coffee is consistently well done and is strong vibrant for the coffee enthusiast. The offer special blends on a good rotation also for all of those who prefer the exotics. If you need that hit during peak period however I will give you this little bit of advice; elbows up! They offer a nice selection of breakfast and lunch meals at a very reasonable price also.

Possibly the best Ocean Trout I have ever tasted. House-cured, it was served with a mix of greens garnished with pansy and carnation petals and complemented with a light dressing, together with lightly toasted artisan bread. The coffee was also excellent. The cafe is situated in the chambers of the historic National Mutual Building, later the premises of the Bank of New Zealand.

Approximate cost: $17
