Now Open: Specialty Coffee Meets Street Art Culture at Warehouse Cafe, a New Northshore Hamilton Community Hub
Arriving as part of a creative community, this upbeat cafe comes with a side of street art, as guests are invited to paint its ever-changing walls.
Brisbane's dining scene is on the up and up, with those keeping their ear to the ground knowing there's an ever-growing array of cafes that compete with the country's best. However, there's a new spot on the block that stands out, as Warehouse Cafe serves up its specialty coffee and a tight selection of toasted options with a strong dose of street art.
Set inside Superordinary — an eclectic multi-arts space and events venue in the rapidly evolving Northshore Hamilton precinct — there's more to the creative side of this cafe than just some graffiti on the walls. Instead, guests are invited to get involved, as anyone can paint on the open "jam walls" and transform the space into an outdoor gallery.
However, if chucking up a throwie isn't quite your speed, the hospitality aspect of Warehouse Cafe is no second thought. Alongside Allpress coffee, the menu is short but tasty. Think a trio of toasted options, including smashed avo with tomato medley, capers, lime, red onion and a balsamic reduction, as well as build-your-own crumpets.
This spot is also a prime position for free coworking. Featuring ultra-fast Wi-Fi, you can breeze through tasks working indoors or out. Plus, the surrounding community is home to loads of happenings, from a library and board games to an artist paint shop. There's also a regular schedule of workshops and events, from culinary festivals to dance music experiences.
What's more, the whole place is pet-friendly, so your dog can come hang out as you sip back one too many coffee while you get down to work. And there's loads of bike parking, so you can store your ride before putting all that extra energy to good use on the way home.
Finally, local creatives can submit artwork to hang in Superordinary's huge gallery, while crate-digging DJs are welcome to request use of the venue's vinyl setup. Pairing creativity and community with food and drink, Warehouse Cafe is a new way to relax and connect on the banks of the Brisbane River.
Warehouse Cafe is open at Superordinary, 175 MacArthur Avenue, Hamilton, operating Monday–Saturday from 7am–12.30pm. Head to the website for more information.
