A community icon reborn,
just steps from the pier.
Before café culture, there was the corner shop. We’re bringing that magic back, with better beans, bigger flavours, and a whole lot more heart.
Reimagined with a splash of Art Deco glamour and a nod to the classic Aussie milk bar, The Corner of Altona is more than a café. It’s your local everything place, from school runs to seaside brunches, sunset smoothies to catered celebrations. Whether you're a cyclist grabbing a post-ride toastie or a mum catching up over cake, you're always welcome here.
'The Corner of Altona'
is where beach walks begin, birthdays are celebrated, and friendships are brewed over great coffee.
