Welcome to my Local Legends series! First stop - COFFEE… of course?
After 5 + years of living and working here in the beautiful Peninsula - you really get to know all the hidden gems and the local legends behind them.
Need a recommendation for a great masseuse, vegan meal, shoe repair guru, burger or dress maker? Be sure to reach out and I’ll be sure to cover it in my next episode. The beauty of this community is that even if I don’t know, I’ll know someone who does!
Likewise, if you have a ‘go-to’ place in New Farm, Teneriffe, Fortitude Valley or Newstead that NEEDS a shout-out, shout-out to me and we’ll take joy in testing it out ;-)
So join me as I eat, drink and play my way through our beautiful 4005 and 4006 suburbs and let you in on the all the secret spots hiding around our wonderful community.
COFFEE - am I right?
Felt like the right place to start, it’s the first thing we think about when we wake up, and if you’re me, the thought of getting up in the morning and starting my day with that lil’ cup-o magic, is my last thought before I go to sleep.
As the (self-proclaimed) coffee connoisseur I am, I enjoy my coffee any and every way - long black (top-tier), latte, cappuccino or iced. So here are my top picks for coffee in New Farm;
The Moray Café @themoray.cafe themoraycafe.com.au
Shop 1, 158 Moray Street, New Farm Qld 4005
Located on Moray Street (voted ‘Brisbane's most liveable street’ in 1993), this leafy corner café is the perfect spot for a morning coffee.
Blue Bear Coffeehouse @bluebearcoffeehouse bluebearcoffeehouse.com.au
92 James St, New Farm QLD 4005
Not only do they serve (a very suitably named) Bear Bones One-Eighty Blend *licks lips*, but they have a sweet little stash of Blue Bear merch. Need a new tee? Cap? Laptop sticker? Keep cup? Blue Bears got you covered.
Dicki’s @dickis.newfarm dickis.com.au
893 Brunswick St New Farm QLD 4005
Vegan heaven - there’s no cow’s milk in here! That also means there is an ARRAY of milk alternatives. Not to mentioned they have their own self-titled specialty coffee.
