House of Cards Espresso

  • Cafe
  • Takeaway

At Melbourne Uni, House of Cards is a small cafe that dreams big, regularly donating profits to charities nominated by customers.

The charities fit into one of four groups: environmental, cultural, social and health and you are given a card to put into one of four boxes at the shop.

On top of feeling good about yourself, you can also get an artisanal coffee made by talented baristas who are keen to show off their skills.
