Located in the Melbourne suburbs of Armadale, Coin Laundry is a cafe serving coffee and "brekkie" (Aussie speak for breakfast) on the premises of a former launderette. Owners Matt Vero and Steve Rowley undertook the renovations themselves, mixing modern furniture with vintage pieces in the interior and preserving an original exposed brick wall for atmospherics. For more information, go to Coin Laundry.
