Everyday Coffee began in 2013 in a small shop in Collingwood, taken on in the knowledge that the building was to be turned into apartments. In 2018 Everyday signed a lease on a warehouse one street over, which became the home of its roastery and a larger café. The space has been changed step by step as the business grew, and the project is still ongoing. The café opens seven days, serving house-made cabinet items and an ever-changing line-up of coffees roasted in house, with the full retail selection of beans and brewing equipment on the shelves.

Everyday Midtown is the second shop, a busy city room at the base of the Victoria Hotel in the CBD, with the same coffee selection and a Rhonda or a focaccia from the counter. The slogan is “Drink Everyday Coffee. Drink Coffee Everyday.”

On the roasting side, Everyday never carries a huge variety of coffees at one time, preferring to select a small number and buy as much of each as it can for a consistent offering. The range is single origins for filter and espresso, seasonal blends that change four times a year, a decaf and a half-caff, with 3 kg workplace packs and subscriptions of the same coffees. Wholesale partners include bakeries and cafés across Melbourne and regional Victoria, from Monforte Viennoiserie to Falco Bakery.
