Your New Favourite Neighbourhood Cafe

We believe the best mornings start slowly. Maison Noir is where single-origin espresso meets house-baked sourdough, seasonal produce, and the kind of warmth that keeps you coming back. Tucked into the heart of Carlton, we're the corner spot you've been looking for.

A Little About Us

Rooted in craft, guided by flavour

Maison Noir was born from a love of slow mornings and good conversation. Our beans are roasted locally, our pastries baked before dawn, and every plate is built from seasonal Victorian produce. We keep things simple, intentional, and always a little bit French.

From the kitchen and the bar

Brunch plates designed to share, single-origin filter and espresso, natural wines by the glass, and a pastry case that changes with the seasons. Everything is made in-house, and sourced as close to home as possible.

"We hosted our engagement party here and it was absolutely seamless. The team curated the most beautiful spread and the wine pairings were spot on."

Felix & Sam / November 2025

★★★★★
"My go-to work-from-cafe spot. The filter coffee is genuinely some of the best in Melbourne, and the team never rush you. A rare find."
