This cafe is a finalist for best coffee in Good Food’s Essential Melbourne Cafes and Bakeries of 2025.
You can get coffee anywhere. But did you know one of Melbourne’s most interesting places for ethically sourced, house-roasted beans and sublime specialty beverages is wedged between the Maroondah Highway and the railway line in outer-suburban Ringwood? Saazaa is owned by David Juma, a Kenyan-born entrepreneur who sources most of his beans from his dad’s farm in Africa and roasts them in a large factory space.
Best for: Coffee-tasting flights, to get a sense of several beans, blends and roasts.
