The menu features plenty of choices made with love by our resident kitchen team. Unpretentious, appetisinng  and appealing the menu changes seasonally and to take advantage of the freshest produce and in keeping with The Coffee Collective's  modern approach to food. 

Local produce and sustainable practise

The Coffee Collective prides itself on using the best produce in a sustainable way. Free range chicken, local free range eggs, "Gippy' milk and  Gippsland beef are the norm. We use  recycled paper and packaging products including coffee cups, napkins, bags and takeaway containers. 

To further support the sustainable approach the business also participates in the "Responsible Cafe' program by offering discounts to customers using thier own cups - one of the first cafes in the region to do so. 

The waste disposal practises include recycling organic waste such as food scrapes, protein and vegetable matter. We recycle all our cardboard, plastics and glassware. We've also distributed over 2 tonnes of used coffee grounds to our local growers - a great composting material for gardens.
