Yarraville • Open 7 days

Slow mornings,
good coffee, real cake.

A corner café on Anderson Street where the hotcakes are made to order, the courtyard is dog-friendly, and nobody's rushing you out the door.

How Maple Lane started

We left the city desks for a coffee machine

We're Sarah and Tom. For years we both worked corporate jobs in the CBD and dreamed about the café we'd open "one day." In 2021 we finally took the leap, signed the lease on a tired old shopfront in Yarraville, and spent three months sanding floors ourselves.

Sarah bakes everything in-house before the sun's up. Tom dials in the coffee. We named it after the maple tree in the courtyard that the local kids climb every weekend.

It's small, it's ours, and we'd love to make you a coffee.

"The hotcakes are worth the wait every single time. Staff are genuinely lovely and our dog gets a water bowl and a pat. Our weekend ritual."

"Best coffee in Yarraville and that's a high bar. The Biscoff cheesecake should be illegal."
