Step into the vibrant world of Flinch Coffee & Play, nestled in the bustling heart of Thornbury and Northcote. Flinch offers a delicious menu, amazing coffee and a wide variety of beverages including fresh juices, frappes, matcha, hojicha, and mocktails. A series of childhood games are available to play; plaster statues and handmade clay art are available to purchase and paint, with all paints and brushes 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 an art cafe, we’re also an authorised Bandai Organised Play Store for the One Piece Card Game and Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World. Plus, we regularly host Pokémon workshops for the community to learn to play, to refine their skills and connect with fellow trainers. Keep an eye out for our upcoming events, tournaments, and more—there's always something exciting happening at Flinch!
