Pepper 44 Pin Oak Crescent, Flemington, Victoria 3031

Welcome to Pepper, a charming cafe located at Flemington, Pin Oak Crescent, 44 in Australia. Our institution is not just a cafe, but also a point of interest and a store, offering delicious food and a rich historical experience.

Housed in a beautiful art deco building known as the 'Girdwood Hygienic Library', Pepper pays homage to the area's past. This iconic structure was constructed in the early 1900s and has a fascinating story to tell. During the era of the Spanish Influenza, 'Hygienic Libraries' became popular, where every borrowed book was sprayed with formaldehyde upon return. While we have incorporated a modern twist, the building still retains its original charm, with exposed brick doorways and cozy, light-filled nooks.

At Pepper, we take pride in serving coffee roasted by Di Bella Roastery Melbourne. Whether you're a coffee enthusiast or simply looking for a delightful place to relax, our cafe offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. Why not take a step back in time and enjoy your coffee while getting lost in a book? We encourage our guests to embrace the history of the Hygienic Library by immersing themselves in a good read.

If you're planning to visit Pepper, public transport is the most convenient option. Newmarket Station, on the Craigieburn Line, is nearby for those traveling by train. Alternatively, you can take tram number 57 from Flinders Station, Elizabeth Street to Newmarket Plaza and take a short 3-minute walk to Pin Oak Crescent. Please note that parking is limited, and we recommend utilizing public transport. However, if you prefer to drive, you may find some parking spaces on Pin Oak Crescent or Norwood Street during quieter times.

Join us at Pepper for a unique dining experience that combines delicious food, a historic setting, and a warm ambiance. We look forward to welcoming you to our cafe and sharing the heritage of the Girdwood Hygienic Library with you.
