Start your road trip from Ballarat to Creswick with some seriously good coffee.

Cobb’s Coffee

Cobb’s Coffee is situated on the corner of Sturt and Lydiard Street, in the same location fleets of Cobb & Co coaches arrived during the 1850s goldrush. With a coffee in hand, it’s time to get on the road and drive a short 20-minutes to the historic town of Creswick.
