Why Fossette Cafe wins locally
Consistently high ratings (4.5★) backed by 214 reviews signal repeat demand. Central position captures pass-by and destination traffic.
Lesson for new entrants: Differentiate through a single hero product (single-origin filter, pastry-led, or health-forward bowls) — generic third-wave coffee will not stand out here.
Rank #3 among cafés within ~800m of Alphington centre (Google Places cache, June 2026).
