Wow it's been a long while since I stumbled on this place…read more It's as good as ever. Stopped in for brunch. The Breakfast Bun was delicious, tasty and filling. The Yumington was a sweet breakfast treat that filled the brunch craving. Coffee was excellent and worked well with brunch. Not too bitter - a Goldilocks blend, just right. The decor seems the same from all those years back. It's got a good atmosphere so why change what seems to work. As I said good as ever.

I found Extraction Artisan Coffee almost 4 years ago by accident. And what a wonderful chance…read moremeeting it was. Located at the back of an industrial area near Springwood, this hidden gem of a coffee place is well worth the visit. You will return time and time again. Apart from the amazing range of gourmet food, their house blend 'Gratitude' coffee which is roasted and produced on-site is to die for. Extraction caters for all dietary needs, and it is very proud of the fact that it uses and respects sustainable practices. I love the way that it supports local industries including the dairy and meat farmers. I also love the fact that the staff are continually being involved in community events, and they excel in the way they give back to the community and inspire their customers to do the same. You feel like family. Ordering at the counter is fast and helpful and the table service is amazing. Everyone is so friendly, and continually making your dining experience wonderful. Coffee, friends, food and good times are the essences of Extraction. There are so many different places to sit and enjoy reasonably-priced coffee and food. Large, small and medium tables are surrounded by couches and antique chairs. The decor is eclectic but not pretentious. Apart from the exquisite range of coffee, Extraction also has their amazing range of cold drip coffee plus a huge assortment of tea if that's your thing. Go and try Extraction Artisan Coffee. It's a great place to meet people, relax, chill out and enjoy yourself surrounded by friendly and attentive staff. And on a personal note, for breakfast, you can't go past the vast array of choices, but for this man, the scrambled eggs are done to perfection and the locally produced bacon is exquisite. I love this quote from their online menu which really sums up the whole Extraction experience: "Sharing food and enjoying coffee together is the equivalent of saying you matter."

We're always on a quest to find the best coffee shops wherever we go, and we definitely found the…read morebest one in Burleigh Heads! My hubby and I recently stayed in beautiful Burleigh Waters for a few days during a big trip to Australia. We already knew that the coffee culture in this amazing country is a big deal, and couldn't wait to sip flat whites every day at various cafes we'd already researched from Sydney to the Gold Coast to the Whitsundays! Once we arrived in Burleigh Heads, we checked out Quest one morning, and quickly realized that this was THE place to be! We ended up going every morning and loved the laid back ambiance and friendly, local vibes. Even the owner seemed to know everyone on a first name basis and greeted everyone! Our coffees were always perfectly rich, bold and balanced, and they paired so nicely with one of their delicious baked goods (everything is baked in-house btw!). What made our experience even better was that they had a variety of yummy vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options. Our favorites were their banana bread and zucchini & pineapple bread, which they will also toast for you if you'd like. We honestly miss this place already and wish they had a location here in the Bay Area, California! Guess we'll just have to find a way to get back to the Gold Coast again soon!

Step inside an unassuming door on busy Abbotsford Rd in Brisbane and you'll find a pleasant…read moresurprise. What looks like the door to a business unit is in fact the entry to a bustling coffee shop. Behind this modest door is the gateway to the realm of Di Bella Coffee. I was amazed just how many people were inside when I walked through the door. They were waiting patiently in amongst the coffee paraphernalia for their coffee, in a surprisingly large venue with plenty of tables and even a kid's space. Like all good coffee shops, there's a range of sweet treats and light meals on offer including the brand new, wackily named 'Kwak Scroll' from renowned Oregano Bakery in Sydney. Di Bella are the exclusive retailer of the lightly frosted cinnamon scrolls, in Queensland. The coffee shop serves as a chance to offer new products and test public reaction. For the many forgotten souls who work in a light industrial suburb that's short on amenities but big on tyre fitting, Di Bella are simply saviours. There's certainly a lot going on behind that secret door...

Welcome to the HQ of Queensland coffee mogul Phillip Di Bella, the man whose locally roasted beans…read moreare used at hundreds of Queensland cafes and exported as far as India and China. Don't worry about that slight burning smell; that's the aroma of A-grade Arabica being roasted at the attached factory, where the process of heating the raw bean brings out its delicious oils, allowing them to be processed into a beautiful crema topped espresso. Sorry if I am waxing lyrical a bit, I really love coffee! And so does Mr Di Bella it would seem (it has after all made him a millionaire), who has set up not just a cafe but also a coffee training school and a drive thru delivering top notch espresso coffee through your car window. I'm yet to try that feature but have enjoyed a well-extracted espresso in the main cafe on a number of occasions. Like other big QLD roaster Merlo, you get a free coffee to enjoy at the cafe when you buy some beans to take home. They do 13 different regular blends, with my favourite two being the 'Felici' (Italian for 'lucky') and 'Arnika Reserve' (named after Phillip's daughter).
