Albi Cafe

Inside Albi Cafe

Albi Cafe, tucked inside the Health First Pro Health & Fitness building on N Wickham Rd, offers a calm and inviting spot that feels both connected to the local wellness community and welcoming to anyone looking for a thoughtful coffee break. Its setting, somewhat unexpected within a fitness center, creates a quiet refuge where visitors can step away from the usual gym buzz to enjoy quality drinks and light bites.

The cafe’s specialty lies in its crafted coffee and matcha lattes, which showcase unique flavor combinations like cardamom-infused cold brews and lavender or pistachio matcha blends. These aren’t your standard coffee offerings; they invite visitors to savor something a bit different, blending both familiar comfort and subtle surprises. Those who appreciate organic and carefully sourced ingredients will find the drink selection appealing, especially if you enjoy experimenting with flavors beyond the usual espresso or latte.

Albi also draws a crowd interested in healthier eating and plant-based options, with a selection of vegan treats, gluten-free snacks, and no-sugar-added desserts available. This focus on wholesome ingredients makes it a fitting stop for fitness enthusiasts who frequent the building, local remote workers wanting a calm spot, or anyone in search of a lighter indulgence alongside their coffee.

The atmosphere is relaxed and spacious, working well for casual catch-ups or solo visits where one can linger over a matcha latte or acai bowl without feeling rushed. Early weekend mornings, around 9 am, seem to offer the right balance of quiet energy and available seating, though the friendly staff helps set a welcoming tone anytime you come by.

Overall, Albi Cafe is best for those who enjoy thoughtfully prepared beverages in a down-to-earth setting connected to a health-conscious crowd. It’s a place where the coffee and snacks feel like extensions of a wellness lifestyle rather than just another pit stop for caffeine, making it a practical and pleasant choice for locals around Melbourne looking to recharge mid-day or start their morning on a calm note.

This cute little cafe is located in Health First Pro Health & Fitness Building. I love the vibes here and the customer service is wonderful. Delicious coffee, chai, and matcha with a wide selection of vegan treats as well. If you do visit, you MUST try the edible cookie dough!

Cafe located inside Healthfirst. This is a hidden gem!! The matcha is hand whisked with unique syrups if you enjoy added flavor like lavender and strawberry. There are numerous vegan and healthy desserts to choose from like brownies, protein balls and no sugar added chocolate cups. I can't wait to try more menu items!

A friend and I were looking for a place to have a coffee, snack, and chat. We'd been to many coffee shops in the area and decided to try Albi. I forgot it's inside the Health First gym, but it's ok! We went on a weekend morning around 9am and it was perfect. There is plenty of space and tables to sit at. We ordered acai bowls, a coffee, and a matcha latte. Everything was delicious and we sat and talked for an hour. There are restrooms right around the corner. Try this place out, you'll be happy you did!!

I absolutely love this small find! At first I was nervous to try since it's tucked away in the fitness center by the hospital, but I'm so glad I went and tried it regardless! The coffee is great and the workers are super sweet! I'm so greatful that they always put their cold foams on my lattes. Though I haven't tried all of their snacks, their matcha balls and vegan peruvian chocolate treats are good! I look forward to coming back

This was my first time at Albi and they did not disappoint! I ordered the Cranberry Chicken Salad Croissant & the Daily Ritual Iced Latte (Pistachio + Caramel + Caramel Drizzle) and both were phenomenal! Thank you ladies for the outstanding service and delicious treats!
