At Orange Bean Cafe in Oakleigh Central, everything is made fresh, every single day. Owner Lucca takes great pride in preparing the food herself, from every muffin to every meal in the fridge. Everything is made with care in the early hours of the morning, and it’s this dedication to freshness and quality that keeps customers coming back every day.

Oakleigh Central is a true community hub, and Orange Bean Cafe is right at the heart of it. No mention of Orange Bean Cafe would be complete without talking about Lucca’s husband, Terry. As the cafe’s barista, Terry has an incredible talent - he remembers about 80% of his customers’ coffee orders! He keeps everything running smoothly behind the coffee machine, ensuring every cup is made just right.

One of the cafe’s trendiest drinks at the moment? The iced matcha. It’s a customer favourite, especially with the strawberry flavour, a perfect, refreshing pick-me-up.

For Lucca, the greatest reward is simple - seeing customers love what she makes. “That would make my day,” she says with a smile.
