This is by far the best coffee joint I have been to. I have been coming here for years and the coffee is always above and beyond in terms of taste and texture which supersedes a lot of other cafes in the local area. Back to basics and with a strong focus on coffee, you have gained this loyal customer for life. Give these guys a go and you will never look back ��

Reason for review This is one of the best kept secrets in North Brisbane. It’s a lovely, but small coffee roasting business right in the middle of an industrial area. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I BEEN? - Too many to count in past 7 years since I discovered this gem! OUR EXPERIENCE - We enjoy the various roast and flavours. - Always feels like a treat. - Has turned us into fussy coffee drinkers! STAFF - Usually ample staff with two skilled baristas. BEST FEATURES - Custom, cold pressed coffee in several flavours. - The quality of the milk used (dairy and soy!). - Once you have tasted their milk coffees (Dairy or Bonsoy milk) you will realise what a difference barista quality milk makes! - Consistent high quality beverages - Personable staff that are always friendly and efficient. - Fun seated arcade machine for the occasional friendly duel! TIPS - If you like your coffee hot, you’ll have to request extra hot. - Coffee roast flavours are always changing based on their current roasting batches. - Take away large holds more coffee than large mug option if you prefer a big cuppa. - Their coffee is strong. Half strength is a good option if you like medium strength coffee. LIMITATIONS - It’s not a cafe so they have food license limitation so having a snack is not an option. Occasionally simply pastries are served. Not sure if that has continued. - Mostly shared table benches which is not a big issue. - No tea options, from what I have seen. - You can purchase seperate bottles of syrup for your coffee at hope but no syrup options are available when purchasing a freshly made coffee in store. (Which I quite like) COST - $4 - $5 a cup (on average) depending on milk and size. OFFERS - Roasted coffee in bags (retail or wholesale) - Coffee speciality equipment - Sell coffee machines - Offer barista training - Small seated area (inside or outside) for drinking their coffee. - Palm sugar ATMOSPHERE - Casual, but feel decadent to be surrounded by coffee enthusiasts and their gizmos. PARKING - Parking is the biggest issue. Some short stay parking spots available. - Avoid parking in parking spaces that are reserved for other neighbouring businesses. CLEANLINESS - Always clean and presentable. - Tables are quickly cleared. WOULD WE GO THERE AGAIN? - Definitely, one of our favourite roasting coffee locations in North Brisbane. _________________________________________ PLEASE CLICK ‘LIKE’ if you found any part of my review useful or informative.

Let's be honest, the coffee here is fantastic. No doubt about. Great flavours. But it's not a typical cafe, per se. Set in the industrial estate at Brendale, I felt uncomfortable sitting and having my coffee. Everyone around me had a notebook, pen, paper, laptop, tablet... essentially, everyone was working. So if you want to have a meeting over coffee, come here. If you want to meet people for coffee, it's not that kind of cafe.

Excellent coffee with friendly baristas, heaps of indoor and outdoor seating. A real hidden gem.
