Step into Flinch Coffee & Play, nestled in the bustling heart of Thornbury and Northcote. Flinch offers a delicious menu, amazing coffee and a wide variety of hot and cold drinks including fresh juices, frappes, matcha, smoothies, cocktails and mocktails. A series of childhood games are available to play; plaster characters available to purchase and paint, with all painting supplies provided.

Be sure to try our signature fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes – they're light, fluffy, so delicious (and also gluten-free)! Word on the street is they're the best Japanese soufflé pancakes in all of Melbourne!

At Flinch, we take our coffee seriously, offering two specialty blends crafted by the acclaimed Seven Miles Coffee Roasters. Dive into the velvety richness of Cat’s Pyjamas or savour the intricate flavours of the Wilde blend, which clinched a Gold Medal for Espresso (black) and a Bronze Medal for Cappuccino (milk) at the esteemed 2017 Australian International Coffee Awards.

But Flinch isn't just simply a cafe, we’re also an authorised Trading Card Game Retailer and Organised Play Store for the One Piece Card Game, Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World, Disney’s Lorcana Trading Card Game, Magic The Gathering, and Pokemon. We regularly host Pokémon events for the community to learn to play, to refine their skills and connect with fellow trainers. Check out our range of TCG products in-store, and our event calendar!
