Review Clandestino Roasters - Noosaville

tl; dr: Amazing coffee, but why are the staff and patrons maskless? 5 stars for coffee but 1 for mask compliance This was one of my absolute favourite coffee spots in Australia, w/ creative, tasty, ethical, fair trade beans and fabulous coffee. I come here every time I'm up in Noosa, both to buy beans and have great coffee. They also offer growlers to take away their cold brew coffee, which uses seasonal beans. If you're interested, give their coffee flight a go, which showcases thoughtfully prepared and different types and styles of beans available at the time; I always manage to discover something new. The food is a bit more so-so, with the menu leaning towards the healthy side, and this time because it only came out after quite a long wait of 20 minutes, and then only after an enquiry (though I understand that there may be staffing issues, my companion's average croque monsieur came out quite quickly), but mostly because the brown rice nasi goreng that I got was rather meh. My biggest problem with the venue though, is the absolute non-compliance with COVID safe mask wearing requirements. Every hospo venue is currently complaining about staff absentees due to illness or because of being close contacts and also drop in patronages because of COVID, so why not step up the prevention of the spread of virus among both staff and customers with wearing of masks? No one expects hospitality and retail staff to police check ins and vaccination status; that's unfair, but what a venue /can/ control is the behaviour of their own staff, and /none/ of them were wearing masks, or wearing it properly. As a healthcare worker, this irresponsibility makes me incredibly angry. If I can work 8+ hours in full PPE while dealing with patients, surely something like proper mask wearing isn't that much of a chore?

Thank you Abs, Barb and the team for the impeccable service and the greatest coffee. Ordered Geisha and other beans, they have shipped out the Geisha on its own to ensure the freshness! I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Clandestine Cafe, Extremely delicious and Healthy options as well, hard to choose everything looks fantastic, the staff are attentive and helpful. Highly recommended.

Love everything about visiting here. Service, amazing tasting coffee, and atmosphere so good too 👌🏼☕😍

I love shopping at belmondos and the food and pastries are amazing. I love that clandestino roasts organic coffee, it is a beautiful roast~ however, the almond milk flat white I had yesterday was so average that I couldn’t finish it. Maybe consider using a different almond milk? Or maybe it was just a dud shot. I’ll try again but next time... but if it’s that bad again I probably won’t go back. Just for feedback. :)

Wow! What a comprehensive caffeine menu. Very nice service in this cool and comfortable coffee establishment. Had a nitro cold brew and a V60 and both were lovely.

Beautiful place amazing coffee you should be here

Fantastic coffee so many varieties, Magneto organic blend was smooth and tasty...Cold drip came in a glass pot and glass with a big ice cube yum!

Doesn't get any better than this. I wish I could begin every morning with a visit to this place, and not just the one week per year I get to Noosa.

Amazing coffee place, the entire feeling of the place is great, their Coffe is always good. their cakes also. I recommend this place as one of the best places in Noosa for coffe.

We Love the coffee here, it's always been lovely, and Beautifully presented and well executed,the staff are pleasant enough to& and friendly. The atmosphere is nice, small venue but I love spending time here.

Located in an industrial area away from the beach and shops - this is a great little roastery with excellent coffee. We tried the Wahana Estate and the Don Pepe and they were really interesting. It's great to have somewhere where you can try unusual coffee.

Drove 15mins out of our way everyday whilst on holiday just to grab a coffee from Clandestino. Excellent blend - it was the best coffee in Noosa!

Great coffees. Cold drip great too. Decor fab. Staff friendly. In a strange off street location but they need a big space to accommodate the bean roasting too

Good coffee on the coast. I love coming to the sunshine coast once a month for my relaxation hit. Clandestinos is still one of my favourite cafes and roast. Always consistent. The little guy with the glasses really knows his stuff.. keep it up guys!<br/>Joe

Awesome coffee. Staying in coolum from Melbourne and had to check it out.<br/>Grabbed a micro batch columbian short Mac, strong latte and a Yirgacheffe cold brew. All amazing.<br/>Love seeing all the cold drips on the go. Cool shop. Will be back next time I'm up.

Best coffee in noosa by far. The staff are friendly and extremely knowledgable. Bought some coffee to take home and were very pleased with our plunger imitation!

A Clandestine Affair. Supremely good coffee - I almost want to keep it a secret. None better in Noosa

In belmondos. I think this is the best coffee in noosa. Serious coffee, people.

This coffee spot is within belmondos. The coffee is very good! In my top 3 spots in noosa.

Cracking out the Beanhunter iPhone App we quickly established Clandestino as our go-to place for a decent brew. It wasn’t just decent though, we were genuinely blown away! Hidden away at the back of a gourmet food market store in an unassuming industrial estate out the back of Noosaville, Clandestino left us both stunned for the first couple of minutes as we took everything in. From the aeroplane hanging from the ceiling, to the fancy machines and coffee beans galore, to all the various coffee knick-knacks and apparatus that was on display for sale...
