One Origin Specialty Coffee

One Origin Specialty Coffee fits squarely into the lively café scene of Malvern, offering more than your average coffee stop. Located on Glenferrie Road, it balances a casual vibe with thoughtfully crafted food and serious coffee creds thanks to its choice of Axil beans. This makes it a solid spot for both early-morning caffeine runs and leisurely weekend brunches.

The atmosphere is relaxed without being too quiet or overly busy—a comfortable nook where locals seem to unwind with a book or catch up with friends. You’ll find a mix of people here: commuters grabbing a well-made flat white or iced coffee to start their day, parents enjoying a breakfast outing with their kids, and creatives settling in for a work session with good Wi-Fi and reliable coffee.

The menu showcases a surprising range that goes beyond typical café fare. Breakfast options like the classic Benedict and mushroom croquettes sit alongside heartier dishes such as the Moroccan chicken avo salad or the premium beef and Hawaiian beef burgers, which draw in those looking for a casual lunch. Sweet-tooth visitors have their pick too, with waffles topped with mixed berries and vanilla ice cream standing out as a treat that pairs well with their signature coffee or a refreshing smoothie.

One Origin’s attention to detail is clear—not just in the expertly pulled coffee shots or the option to switch to oat milk in smoothies, but also in portion sizes that respect local appetites, making it affordable without skimping on quality or generosity. The staff come across as genuinely welcoming, adding to the laid-back, friendly feel that makes repeat visits an easy choice.

If you’re after a spot where the coffee feels local and unpretentious but thoughtfully made, and where you can grab anything from a quick flat white to a full breakfast or lunch, this café has a steady rhythm that suits everyday life in Malvern. Mid-mornings through early afternoons are the best times to catch the buzz without the weekend rush, and seating options cozy enough to relax but casual enough to stay flexible for a quick catch-up or work break.
