About Vector Coffee

Tucked onto a Southport Chinatown corner, Vector Coffee pours serious specialty cups that turn visiting Melburnians into regulars. Industry baristas clock the silky microfoam, rotating guest roasters, and tasting flight boards showcasing distinct batch brews. Morning regulars target the breakfast plates—crispy banana bread with whipped maple butter, pillowy bacon and egg rolls drenched in house relish, and fresh cream cheese bagels. Drink orders skew experimental, from cold foam Mont Blancs to a citrusy yuzu long black served over ice.

  • Precision Specialty Pours: Rotating guest roaster coffees and curated tasting flights pulled with silky, barista-approved microfoam.
  • Creative Drink Lineup: Cold foam Mont Blanc creations alongside bright iced yuzu long blacks and ceremonial matcha.
  • Elevated Breakfast Staples: Crispy banana bread with whipped maple butter, saucy bacon and egg rolls, and fresh cream cheese bagels.
  • Easy Chinatown Corner: A cozy corner setting in Southport's Chinatown with laid-back Aussie hospitality and easy conversation.

    I was treated to 2 washed Columbians in the form of a double espresso and batch brew from Therefore and Black Mass respectively. Both were delicious.

  • Freshly Crafted Artisan Breakfast Rolls

    Made-to-order morning fare features decadent pillowy milk rolls loaded with crisp bacon, perfectly cooked egg, and generous luscious sauce.

    The bacon was soft and crispy at the same time and the egg was perfectly cooked. The generous amount of luscious sauce was divine.
