— Our Story
From Collins
to Watton St.
In 2017 we sold our much-loved café on Collins St and set out on a mission of bringing the specialty coffee experience to the outer western suburbs. By chance we stumbled on a little gem called The Crooked Fork — a café with an enormous amount of potential and a narrow shop front perfect for recreating that inner city feel.
In the months that followed we purchased, renovated, and created Notorious Espresso, setting out to bring the specialty coffee experience to the heart of Watton St.
Fast forward a few years and after putting our heart and soul into the place, Notorious Espresso has become one of the best known cafés in the western suburbs — serving all-day breakfast, lunch, and some of the best coffee in Melbourne, roasted by our friends at Veneziano Coffee Roasters.
