Aunty Peg’s

Aunty Peg’s was established as the flagship concept space for Proud Mary, designed to showcase their commitment to transparency and education in specialty coffee. The cafe emerged from a desire to connect coffee drinkers directly with the roasting and brewing process, demystifying every step along the way. Since opening, the venue has become a destination for coffee lovers seeking a deeper understanding of their daily brew. Through regular workshops, tastings, and public cuppings, Aunty Peg’s continues to foster a sense of community and learning within Melbourne’s vibrant coffee scene.

Coffee at Aunty Peg’s is treated with reverence and precision, with beans roasted onsite and brewed to order using a range of manual methods like pour-overs and siphons. The baristas are deeply knowledgeable, often guiding guests through tasting notes and origin stories as they prepare each cup. Signature offerings include rare single origins and exclusive micro-lots, served in elegant glassware that enhances the sensory experience. The seating is communal and bar-style, encouraging conversation and interaction between guests and staff. The food menu is intentionally limited to pastries and light snacks, keeping the focus firmly on the coffee itself.
