About Patricia
Patricia Coffee is owned and run by best mates Bowen Holden and Pip Heath. The name Patricia comes from their respective grandmothers (both sadly no longer with us) and is meant as a warm tribute to two amazing women who have been very influential in their lives.
Ever since opening the original Patricia Coffee Brewers in 2011 we have endeavoured to give an amazing service experience to every single customer. Our team has been super important in helping us achieve this and we have been very lucky over the years to work with a host of amazing people.
We opened in a time when few cafes used coffee from multiple roasters, and we were excited to showcase our favourite Melbourne coffee, including Seven Seeds, Market Lane, Small Batch, Proud Mary, Everyday, Blume, Core, Manta Ray, Fieldwork, Craftwork and others.
In 2016 we started roasting our own coffee at Bureaux Collective (then Fieldwork) giving us even more of a connection with our product, as well as more control over the way it tastes.
Since 2024 we've been roasting all of our coffee at our own roastery in Gaffney St, Coburg North. There we roast everything on our very own Loring S15 Falcon.
In May 2026 we opened our long-awaited second coffee shop, also called Patricia Coffee Brewers in Lonsdale St. It was beautifully designed by ex-Patricia team member Samuel and the team at Hecker Guthrie, and built by Brodie and the team at Westmark Building Group.
At Patricia we offer a bounty of delicious goods from our favourite local bakeries, including Wild Life, Mörk, Sucette, Little Bertha, Wakéwaké, The Flour, Mietta by Rosemary and others. A lot of bakeries supplying one tiny coffee shop, sure, but we want the yummiest treats we can find.
The utmost care is taken to be present and connected with anyone who has gone out of their way to visit us. We sincerely hope that if you come and see us, you can tell.
