Overview
Code Black Coffee’s original Brunswick outpost is a flagship of Melbourne’s specialty coffee scene. Tucked into Weston Street just off Sydney Road, this striking venue serves as both a working roastery and a destination café, combining precision coffee with a creative, crowd-pleasing all-day menu.
Housed in a converted warehouse, the space is bold and atmospheric—black walls, polished concrete, exposed beams, and the hypnotic hum of the in-house roaster in action. It’s equal parts urban cool and coffee laboratory, where attention to detail and high standards define everything from the grind to the garnish.
Coffee is the undisputed star here. Code Black roasts on-site and offers a wide variety of single origins and blends for espresso and filter, with expert baristas guiding each pour. Whether you're after a short black, batch brew, cold drip, or alternative milk flat white, you'll find depth, balance, and flavour in every cup.
The food menu is equally strong, offering a modern take on brunch and café fare. Think miso scrambled eggs, brisket toasties, seasonal vegetable bowls, and inventive vegan and vegetarian options. The plates are generous, vibrant, and built to match the quality of the coffee offering.
Service is fast but friendly, and the venue accommodates solo laptop workers, local regulars, and weekend brunch-goers with equal ease. It’s the kind of place you’ll visit for a quick caffeine fix—and stay for an hour longer than planned.
