Step into Flinch Coffee & Play, now serving good vibes from two locations — our original Thornbury/Northcote spot and our brand new CBD store at 18 Lt Lonsdale St. Enjoy a delicious menu featuring comfort food, fluffy pancakes, and a wide variety of drinks including specialty coffee, matcha, juices, frappes, smoothies, mocktails and cocktails* (Thornbury site only). 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 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.
