Roaster · Served at 3 shops

Melbourne roastery from the founder of Auction Rooms, twice named city's best cafe.

Andrew Kelly started with backyard roasting experiments using a heat gun and a colander, then opened Auction Rooms in North Melbourne. Small Batch has roasted since 2009 at a roastery down the road.

It names strong relationships with producers in El Salvador, Colombia, Guatemala and Costa Rica, and selects its African coffees through third parties.​⁠​​​⁠⁠​​⁠​​⁠​​⁠​⁠​​⁠⁠​​​⁠​⁠​⁠​​​⁠​​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​​⁠​
