Omar and the Marvellous Coffee Bird

Melbourne, Australia

Omar and the Marvellous Coffee Bird is a boutique coffee roaster, wholesaler, café and retail outlet based in the tiny bayside suburb of Gardenvale, Melbourne.

Omar’s was created to achieve one thing; to get people excited about coffee. Quality without compromise is our promise, and our method. If they don’t believe a coffee to be the very best it can be, they simply won’t sell it.

Our years of travel, research and experimentation, as both coffee lovers and students of the industry, have helped them beat a stringent, quality-obsessed pathway from farm to cup. They begin by sourcing seasonal, fresh beans from farmers around the world who have toiled for years to make their produce exceptional. They then store those beans on-site in humidity-controlled fridges, preserving their innate qualities. Then, fastidious computer-controlled roasting practices bring out each bean’s complexities and subtleties, with a consistency that guarantees satisfaction for baristas and consumers alike. In short, theyt give the bean, and the beverage that results, the respect it deserves.

Be it advice on how best to prepare it, drink it, or develop a love of it, Omar’s cuts through the caffeine palaver to forge informed, personal connections through coffee.
