Hey Brisbane. You asked, they listened. Today, Toby’s Estate have proudly opened their doors to their epic new flagship café; complete with a selection of Brisbane’s finest baristas, frothing to make you a brew.
The new Brisbane café is the latest addition to Toby’s Estate’s suite of speciality coffee flagships both in Australia and overseas. These include their Chippendale, Sydney roastery & café and flagships in Singapore, Middle East, Indonesia and the Philippines.
According to Jody Leslie, Toby’s Estate General Manager, Brisbane was an obvious choice for the latest location for the brand, who have been one of the major players in the Sydney specialty coffee scene for over 25 years.
“Like most Aussies, Queenslanders love quality coffee. We’ve had a strong following there for many years, so we thought it was time to give them a chance to encounter our full coffee experience delivered in the Toby’s way,” says Jody.
Located in Newstead, the venue looks to feature and hero coffee as central to its offering. So, if you’re looking to level up your coffee game, drink top quality coffee’s and hang with unashamed coffee geeks, this place might just be for you.
Designed by award winning Melbourne architects Russell & George the venue is designed for coffee to literally be at the centre and focal point of the café. Guests are seated around a central round coffee bar which features an espresso bar, filter bar and training bar that all allow customers to get up close and personal with the coffee making process and to interact with baristas.
Featuring a 70’s style version of sustainable vinyl combined with raw ply, the venue blurs the line between retro meets contemporary, in a stunning cafe that Newstead didn’t know it needed.
When it comes to the goods, Toby’s extensive coffee menu boasts an award-winning array of extremely high-end coffees where they explore unique processing methods, regions and varietals. Not to mention their limited edition Flavour Savour blends (IYKYK). Carefully selected from all over the world, they have the most diverse single origins program in the Australian specialty coffee industry with their Newstead venue offering new and unique coffees every month (over 84 a year).
The highlight of their coffee offering is the Freezus menu (high-end coffee frozen at its peak), consisting of standout coffees the Toby’s team have roasted and won awards for over the years.
Want to find out more about specialty coffee? The Brisbane team will also be hosting free monthly coffee tastings for anyone keen to learn more about Toby’s origins, processes and latest interesting coffee techniques.
And don’t worry it’s not all coffee either! With a full kitchen there’s plenty of tasty, cooked meals and sweet treats to enjoy with your espressos and lattes.
So, what are you waiting for Brisbane? See you there soon!
