Luba’s has been a Market institution since 1962, in the same location at the front of the Market. The original owners, Luba and her husband Chris, also ran the restaurant now called Paddington’s. Violet, the present owner, used to work for them and married their son. She took over the coffee business when Luba and Chris passed away and has managed it ever since.

Luba’s offers a large selection of imported coffee beans and teas (loose and packaged). They will grind coffee beans to the customers' specifications. They carry specialty syrups, flavoured coffee beans, organic, Free Trade coffee beans, de-caff beans, as well as an interesting choice of tea and coffee-making accessories.

In addition, Luba’s brews a daily choice of fresh coffees or teas and is the first place to offer fresh coffee at the Market in the mornings. It is usually the first stop for customers and vendors to get their morning java hit before the day begins.   Go Back
