Mantaray Premium Coffee Beans

For many of us, good coffee is fundamental to good parenting. To those who go without, we commend your bravery. For the rest of us, MiniTown has it covered.

​

First thing on the left as you enter the MiniTown play centre, you’ll find a café equipped with a top-of-the-line espresso machine and some of the best locally roasted coffee available. We’re proud to partner with Manta Ray, a premium coffee roaster based right here in Nunawading, who supply 100% of the beans we use to keep parents happy.

​

Manta Ray is known for its advanced roasting technique, which consistently produces rich, aromatic coffee. That same method earned them first place at the ECRE Roasting Competition - and we wholeheartedly agree with the judges. That’s why when you order a coffee from one of our expert baristas, you can expect excellence in every cup, with award-winning flavour you can taste.

25+ Years Barista Experience

We think that good parents deserve good coffee. It’s not just a caffeine fix. It’s a small reward to yourself for all that you do. That’s why MiniTown doesn’t compromise when it comes to hiring baristas. We only take the best.


Our highly trained and experienced baristas are held to the standard of consistent excellence. If you’re used to sacrificing coffee quality for the sake of convenience when out with your kids, MiniTown is here to change that. From the perfect milk texture to the right extraction time, our staff are trained to deliver café-standard drinks, even during the busiest weekend rush. We expect a lot from our coffee and from the people who make it, because we know how important those five minutes of peace can be.


Whether you’re after a cappuccino, a strong flat white, or a simple cup of tea, you can trust that your drink is being made by someone who genuinely cares. We treat the café as a place for parents to recharge and feel looked after, not just a waiting area.

A Practical Menu for Bites on the Go

Our menu is designed with families in mind. Our menu offers a mix of kid-friendly favourites and adult crowd-pleasers, from classic nuggets and chips, to pizza, sliders and much more. Even the fussiest eaters will find something they enjoy. Everything on our menu is prepared to be quick, tasty, and satisfying.


You’ll find healthy options alongside hearty ones, and there’s flexibility if you’re dealing with allergies or dietary restrictions. We cater for vegetarian, halal, dairy-free, and just about any other diet. That’s because MiniTown is an all-inclusive space where everyone is made to feel welcome at any age.


While the kids are entertained in the play space, you can sit down with a coffee and a snack knowing everyone’s covered. MiniTown is designed to ensure that your visit is smooth and enjoyable for the whole family, every time.

  • What activities are there at MiniTown?
    MiniTown is full of interactive play zones designed to keep young children active and engaged. Our centre includes slides, tunnels, ball pits, building blocks, imaginative role-play stations (like a vet clinic and mini-market), and even a real ride-on train that circles the central play area. Our play centre is specially designed to ignite young imaginations and play, so kids never struggle to find a game to occupy them. The hardest part is getting them back in the car. Unfortunately, when a play centre is as fun as ours, there’s no helping that.
