Blackstar Coffee Roasters

Brisbane


One of Brisbane's top coffee roasters, laid-back Blackstar pulls West End bookworms, hipsters and hippies. Kick back and slurp a single-origin espresso or cool down with a bottle of cold-pressed coffee. Food options include a French toast sandwich with fresh ricotta and banana, and a range of roti dishes (including a meat-free mushroom version with chilli jam and smoked hummus).
