Axil Coffee Brisbane Pop-Up
Home to Australia's best barista for two years in a row, Melbourne's Axil Coffee is making a five-day trip to Brisbane.
Overview
In 2022, Melbourne's Axil Coffee became the envy of caffeine-slinging joints around the country, officially being recognised as the home of Australia's National Barista Champion. That's no minor feat, and the Victorian-based chain has now backed it up, earning the same gong in 2023.
Fresh from receiving this year's accolade, with Jack Simpson joining 2022 winner Anthony Douglas, this coffee brand is now heading north. What does a Brisbanite do when the home of Australia's best barista for two years in a row steams into the River City for a five-day trip from Wednesday, May 24–Sunday, May 28? Prepare to get caffeinated, obviously.
Anthony Douglas
Douglas was also named the 2022 World Barista Champion, and he'll be coming to Brisbane to make coffee and for a meet-and-greet session from 4–7pm on Thursday, May 25. Yes, there'll be coffee samples at that event, focusing on Axil's signature series.
The place to head: InterSection Project, also known as Coffee Anthology, in the Brisbane CBD. Axil will take over the guest coffee bar from 7.30am–3.30pm on weekdays and 7.30am–2pm on weekends.
Make a date from 4–7pm on Friday, May 26 and there'll also be a latte art smackdown to give all that coffee-sipping an extra buzz.
