Our Story

A place to slow down, sip well.

Nestled on Lithgow Street in Abbotsford, groove. is where Melbourne's café culture meets a calming, industrial-minimal aesthetic. We specialise in hand-whisked matcha, hojicha-based creations, and specialty coffee — all served in an atmosphere designed for real conversations and quiet moments alike.

From our signature Salted Cream Coffee to the vibrant Tokyo Fog Matcha, every drink is crafted with intention. Our kitchen turns out garlic cheese bread, matcha cheesecakes, and seasonal pastries that pair perfectly with whatever you're sipping.

"The hojicha with matcha foam was perfectly balanced — the sweetness of the foam cuts through beautifully. I liked how it didn't feel overwhelming. Great spot for a chill catch-up."
