Who doesn’t love the smell of roasting coffee over breakfast? Better yet, the aroma of a craft coffee roaster in full gear? This is the tantalising setting for Code Black – the café arm of the Code Black Coffee roastery in Brunswick.
The warehouse conversion with its black brick and dark chipboard walls is surprisingly airy, with plentiful seating both inside and out. A long polished concrete bench dominates the room, and raised seats behind it let you admire the barista in action. A cupping (coffee-tasting) room dominating the end of the cavernous space serves as a reminder of the goings-on next door.
Code Black Café offers generous servings of brunch from 7am and lunch from 10am. Their menu showcases some interesting ingredients and offers plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Want to take home a piece of the action? Code Black Coffee is available for sale by the door.
