Free coffees and loyalty cards
Regretless
You're not a true Melburnian unless you have a keep cup, so grab one from dessert cafe Regretless. For $20 you’ll also take home a free coffee. Don’t forget to order a sweet treat while you’re at it. The menu caters to people with food intolerances so there’s something for everyone. Our picks are the gluten free crepe cakes, tiramisu and coconut chocolate mousse.
Otherside
Otherside on Little Collins Street is serious about coffee. You'll see a team of specialised baristas pumping out long blacks, flat whites and oat lattes to a queue of office workers every morning. Bring your keep cup to get 50 cents off your coffee and don’t forget to pick up a loyalty card to get your seventh one for free.
Instea
While it may be known for its bubble teas, Instea has a sweet treat up its sleeve worth a try – and it comes with a very generous caffeinated freebie. Grab a house-made waffle topped with Hersey’s chocolate, crunchy Biscoff or honey and you’ll get a coffee on the house. Available from 11am to 1pm for under $6.
