While I was waiting for my order of crispy pork Banh mi at the Kim Thanh bakery, my gaze was caught by the arrow of the signboard near the store that reminded me the location of the Blackstar Coffee Roaster around the corner. I could not wait to tell the bakery that I would return in five minutes, then rushed to have my take away coffee.
Service at the Blackstar is excellent and I had my coffee in hand within three minutes. Needless to say, it takes all the boxes again.

I eat at Blackstar at least once every time I'm in Brisbane and love it! There's aways a buzz and and all the meals I've ordered have been great! I'm not a coffee drinker but everyone I've taken with me has loved the flavours which means I have to bring back beans for them. The Cold Pressed has been a hit too as we haven't got much like it in South Australia.
Amazing coffee. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere.
Fantastic history and commitment to Brisbane community - plus just great coffee
Mmmmmmm.The cold pressed coffee, total black is deeeeeelicious.Peppermint powerhouse smoothie is wicked too. Spanakopita yum. Service very friendly.
Very nice selection of breakfast dishes at a reasonable price. Plate presentation could be a bit better and the service is very standard, but it carries a nice hipness that you could only find in West End. Certainly an enjoyable experience.
Really nice location and great cofffee and services, i would definitely go here more regularly. Grab your beans, ground coffee or enjoy their hot and cold drinks.
Here's to another Sunday!! As I scroll through my 'Bookmarked' places on Zomato. Blackstar Coffee comes up and so I make my way there :)
I've been to Blackstar Coffee a few times and haven't been back since I stopped working at West End. Thought it'll be nice to take my mother there this time and revisit the cafe again because I do remember their Avocado&Feta was really good! When we arrived (9:50am), majority of the tables were filled with people. Luckily there was one spare two-seater table right outside near a corner and so we took a seat there :) After deciding what to go with, I joined the long queue at the counter. Around 5-7mins of waiting I was able to put in my order - Bacon&Egg Wrap, Avocado&Feta, Flat White and a Cold Press Coffee.
The coffees came out really quick, unfortunately the Flat White wasn't really hot enough. My Cold-Press Coffee was nice and refreshing though :) Minutes later, our meals were presented on the table. The portion of the Avocado&Feta was a little smaller incomparison to what it use to be, despite that I still enjoyed the flavours. Mum had the Bacon&Egg Wrap and was pretty happy with the portion, definitely filled her up :)
Overall a nice experience, staff are friendly and attentive!
The best cold drip coffee in Brisbane! Every time when we are going on a road trip, we are getting here as early as possible to buy a lot of bottles of their cold of drip.
I love it here!
It's our local go-to brekky destination. We get the smashed avocado and feta on toast and add egg to it. It's so good! Their blackstar iced coffees in the glass bottles are yummy and perfect for summer too!
It's always a good environment. Definitely a five star.
One of the hidden gem in westend. The cold brew coffee is my favourite and must try.
Pork You pine is amazing, will definitely go back for it. Nice and cosy place and pet friendly too.
First time trying this place today. Hands down the BEST coffee in Brisbane. My iced latte was so smooth, creamy and not overly bitter! No pic as I’ve never drunk a coffee that quickly in my life.
The staff were lovely and this place has a nice chill vibe. Will definitely be coming back! Would give 6 stars if that was an option
Very good service ! Thanks to Jason for the friendly service ! One of the tastiest coffees that I’ve had. The food was very good. The photos attached are the eggs Benny and a mocha! The line up wasn’t too bad, we got served quickly and received our food quite quickly too. Thanks ! Will definitely be back!
Fantastic and trendy cafe, set in a quieter street than surrounding competition. Prompt service, delicious coffee which was I thought the main draw of the place, however, the food was a massive surprise. Absolutely delicious and unexpected. Will not hesitate to go back.
Just ate a bloody delicious chewy dark chocolate and dulce de leche cookie with my coffee... it was YUMM 😍
My long black was a little dark for my taste. I came here because they use an alternative blend for black coffee and I was hoping for some delicate complexities in flavour but this was a classic punch in the face coffee... not bad though. No pics cos that cookie is GONE!
Nice coffee, this place one if great places that provide filter coffee (V60). The food is great as well.
