The Kettle Black Cafe in Melbourne View Photo Gallery View Photo Gallery

Not just a cafe yet not quite a restaurant, the Kettle Black Cafe in Melbourne is a minimalist spot tucked away in the last heritage terrace on Albert Road. Set right next to a skyscraper, the welcoming cafe is the perfect blend of classic and modern touches.

Designed by Studio You Me with furnishings from DesignByThem, the interior has a neutral palette of soft oak, hexagonal marble tiles, and brass finishes.

Matte black steel accessories provide a sharp contrast to the light interior, while green accents add a light, playful touch.

Small details, like brass hooks set against warm, organic linens, elevate everyday moments.
