1 IN 20 CAFE | OPEN 7 DAYS | 7AM TO 3:30PM

WE’RE A LITTLE CAFE IN THE BASIN, AT THE FOOTHILLS OF THE DANDENONGS, A POPULAR DESTINATION FOR LOCALS, BIKE RIDERS, TOURISTS, CAR ENTHUSIASTS AND MANY MORE

1 in 20 is a cafe / coffee shop in The Basin providing a friendly and welcoming environment with the best coffee, great food, drinks (yes we have our alcohol licence also!) and atmosphere to match.

What does our name even mean?! 1 in 20 refers to the gradient of Mountain Hwy up to Sassafras, often 1 in 20 is best known by cyclists due to this section of road named in cycling apps such as Strava. What many don’t know, is that Mountain Hwy from Bayswater to Sassafras in 1937 was actually called One In Twenty Road for a brief period of time.

At 1 in 20 cafe we pride ourselves on having such a great team to come to work with everyday. We have 4 fully qualified chefs and also a pastry chef (who’s also an awesome barista) to make as much as possible in-house. Our baristas all have direct training from The Bean Cartel so that we have our coffee taste how it was designed to taste.

The Bean Cartel

Our everyday bean is the ‘El Capitán’

PNG, Brazil, Peru, Honduras.

A great all rounder that is easy to work with. El Capitán is an exceptional milk based coffee with a slightly strong flavour and a lingering spicy aftertaste. One of our most popular and classic blends.
