For the folks at Albion's Fonzie Abbott, nothing stands in the way of a great coffee — not even Brisbane's recent bout of horrific weather. The caffeine fiends' Fox Street headquarters was affected by the floods, but it's still brewing up cuppas in a van outside. And, it has also set up a pop-up retail shop so that you can pick up some merchandise, too.
Drink the coffee, then buy the shirt, cap or other merch — or pick up some beans, other bites, or something from Fonzie Abbott's range of beer and spirits to take home with you. Whichever you choose, you'll be doing a local business that's been impacted by the past week's chaos a huge solid.
Fonzie Abbot and its famous lightning-strike logo have been a part of Brissie's coffee scene for more than a decade now, so every Brisbanite who likes caffeine has drunk its brews at least once. Also, its Albion base is a roastery, brewery and distillery in one — so pop it on your must-visit list again once it's back up and running.
