Tucked behind Carlisle Street on a rear laneway in Balaclava, Monk Bodhi Dharma has been one of Melbourne's best-kept specialty coffee secrets for years, serving Disciple Roasters beans alongside a fully vegan and vegetarian kitchen. The distressed brick walls and timber tables create a warm, unpretentious atmosphere that draws a fiercely loyal local crowd. Finding it feels like a small reward, and the coffee and food make that effort worthwhile.
