Why Little Sparrow Melbourne wins locally
High footfall visibility — 1,208 reviews mean this venue is on the local shortlist. Central position captures pass-by and destination traffic.
Lesson for new entrants: Compete on a tighter daypart (early breakfast or late specialty coffee) rather than matching their full menu breadth.
Rank #3 among cafés within ~800m of Chadstone centre (Google Places cache, June 2026).
