Just months later, we faced the unexpected challenge of covid-19.

As lockdowns emptied our city, we were forced to close our doors due to lockdowns and a city that had turned into a ghost town. During this time, Laura found solace in baking for her family, sparking the idea for our “High Tea in a Box” originally created as a one-time Mother’s Day gift. With nothing more than a simple letterbox drop in the local area, the response was overwhelming.

Orders poured in, and what started as a heartfelt gesture turned into a lifeline. Through dedication, long hours, and unwavering community support, Collins Coffee House not only survived but flourished. Today, we are proud to welcome guests into our historical building, serving what is now known asMelbourne’s

Best High Tea. All thanks to the love and support of our incredible customers.
