Industry Beans Adelaide Street

After opening a 150-seat cafe and roastery in Newstead, the team behind Melbourne coffee giant Industry Beans always intended to open a second site in Brisbane CBD. This small espresso bar is the result, and its minimal fit-out is designed to maximise speed and get your coffee out in under two minutes – even during busy periods.

A large white bar is fitted with La Marzocco Modbars (a coffee machine that’s hidden under the bench), coffee grinders, and a small cabinet filled with croissants, brownies and other baked goods from Chouquette. A large retail section includes 10 different coffee blends and single origins, coffee equipment and cans of cold brew. While it's geared primarily towards takeaway trade, there are 10 seats if you'd prefer to have your espresso in.

The coffee beans here are roasted over at the Newstead venue. The Newstead Blend and Seasonal Blend are used for milk-based espresso coffees, and a range of rotating single origins are used for both espresso and filter. There are also signature cold drinks such as the Bubble Coffee (cold brew coffee, coffee-soaked tapioca pearls and house-made condensed milk), and the Fitzroy Iced (cold brew, Wattleseed, organic panela and milk of choice).
