The Sparrow's Nest

The sparrow is a social bird that is often found in large flocks- flying, feeding and nesting amongst the company of others. The powerful presence of the sparrow as a cultural symbol has been around for thousands of years. In numerous folk tales, ballads and poems the sparrow has been rendered as a symbol of good fortune, soul-searching and travel. After a sea-voyage, many sailors would get sparrows tattooed on their bodies, in order to symbolise the accomplishment of completing a long journey, and finally finding their destination. Here at The Sparrow's Nest we'd like to invite you all to join our flock and our aim is to make you feel like you have come home. We are a quaint hideout located away from the hustle and bustle, on the fringe of Vic Park's busy café strip. This intimate sanctuary is lined with mouth watering treats to suit any palate and provides a niche where conversation flows as smoothly as our rich, aromatic coffee. Our beans are sourced from Australia's fastest-growing coffee supplier, established in 1962 in Lygon Street - the centre of Melbourne's famous Italian quarter by two Italian coffee roasters who were frustrated at a lack of high quality, freshly roasted beans and blends. The Sparrow's Nest is part of a 'cafe share', which means we found an amazing opportunity in which we could share a space with a separate business. We searched for a suitable venue and have started weaving our little Nest, and we are slowly but surely creating our vision, and a safe space where everyone is welcome. Our crew gets there at 3pm Tuesday to Saturday and at midday on Sundays where we cook up a brunch-time storm! We stay open until super late every night! Come and visit us soon at The Sparrow's Nest and make it your home away from home.
