About The Mare Coffee Co.

Tucked just off the main strip in Healesville, this café offers a relaxed spot to enjoy thoughtfully brewed coffee and a well-curated tea selection. Many visitors come for a straightforward, no-fuss cup of long black or to grab a slice of banana bread, ideal for breakfast or a quick bite. The vibe inside blends cozy and trendy with touches of vintage and modern art that invite you to pause and take it all in.

It’s a place where locals and visitors alike find a moment to connect, whether in casual banter or a quiet solo coffee break. You might notice friendly exchanges with the owner, who’s known to make guests feel genuinely welcome. The seating spills out outdoors on sunny days, and accessibility is thoughtfully considered with ramps, parking, and seating options.

The atmosphere tends to attract those who appreciate a laid-back experience without the rush—a spot for early morning pep talks over a latte or sheltering from rainy Healesville weather with a warm brew in hand. Families with kids feel comfortable here, as do solo diners looking for a calm space to savor their brunch or dessert. With credit and mobile payment options and ample free parking nearby, it’s easy to drop in and linger a while in this quietly vibrant corner of town.

Popped in for a coffee, and even though the door sign said closed, they were actually open. Its designed to make you look! Coffee was great, so I bought a bag. Had some cool posters on the wall. I think I would have bought the Johnny Cash one if it was up for sale! Will be back!

As close as I'll ever get to 'Lukes Diner'–in the best way possible. All that's missing the 'no cell phones' sign. The best coffee. Rad interior design - A mix of vintage and industrial, original band posters x with modern art posters. Aligned books in the window. Totally enjoyable banter between the customers - always leave with a smile. And they're always happy to swing my daughter a sneaky marshmallow on the side.

The coffee here is exceptional. But the real magic, is the service: the owner has this incredible knack for making you feel like you’re about to go out and conquer the world (latte in hand, of course). Add in the cute, cozy ambiance and you’ve got yourself the kind of café that makes you want to linger. A must-visit spot for anyone who takes their coffee - and their morning pep talks - seriously.

On holidays so was looking for a good morning coffee within walking distance of accommodation. Saw tradies and lots of people so gave it a go. Very happy I did. Great coffee. Very friendly service. Knew locals by name and coffee order. Looked after the kids too. Went back of the second day as was so good. Wish this was my local. He did try to get us to make the tree change so we can be near here. Thanks for a great start to the day.

If you’re in the area you have to stop here for a coffee! One of the best I can remember having in Melbourne. Lee’s a wizard with the soy milk latte art and very nice guy to boot!
