Good to Know
Questions, answered.
Where is Good Measure?
We’re at 193 Lygon Street, Carlton VIC 3053 — in the heart of Melbourne’s café strip, a short walk from Argyle Square. Look for the flying magpie on the sign.
Do you take bookings?
We’re walk-ins only — no reservations. Pull up a chair, grab a coffee or a cocktail, and stay as long as you like.
What are your opening hours?
We’re open every day from 8am. Sunday to Thursday until 11pm, and Friday & Saturday until 1am. Espresso is served until 8pm, then the vinyl comes out.
What is the Mont Blanc?
It’s our signature filter coffee — a Code Black brew, lightly sweetened, crowned with whipped cream and showered with fresh nutmeg and orange zest. The thing people queue for.
Are you a café or a bar?
Both. By day we’re a coffee-and-sandwiches café inspired by Japan’s neighbourhood spots. After dark the vinyl starts spinning and we become a cosy cocktail bar with Guinness on tap and Victorian wine.
Is Good Measure dog-friendly?
Yes — well-behaved dogs are welcome in our courtyard. Bring the pup along for a coffee.
Pull Up a Chair
Coffee now,
cocktails later.
No bookings, no fuss — just walk in. We’re on Lygon Street every day from 8am, with the vinyl spinning long after dark.
