Naked Espresso Bar, 390 Little Bourke Street, Melbourne

Naked Espresso Bar is nestled in amongst the quaint shops on Little Bourke Street. Shanny and Tom (owners) opened their thriving cafe business in August 2011. Their passion for great coffee and delicious breakfast/lunches is paying off with a strong local business clientele.

On my midmorning visit recently there was a steady stream of locals coming in and out after takeaways…some sitting in chatting over their laptops munching on pastries and slurping their lattes.

Naked Espresso use their own private blend coffee. They are also using several of our breads, pastries and cakes. Tom was preparing the lunches for the day when I visited and the roasted pumpkin, semi dried tomato & slivered almonds on our Sourdough Bakers Round bread looked awesome!

Shanny and Tom both had big career changes to start their business together…Shanny described their life now as ‘poorer but happier’. I certainly love what they are doing and the locals seem to be loving them too!

On Thursday nights they run ukulele lessons and you can book through We Teach Me.

Naked Espresso is open Monday to Friday 7am to 4pm. Closed weekends. You can also follow them on Twitter here: @naked_espresso
