Padre Coffee Noosa

Noosaville is a long way from Brunswick. But Padre Coffee’s Queensland HQ features the same attention to detail as the specialty coffee brand’s Melbourne mothership – albeit with a slightly different accent and a very nice tan.

The vibe here is a match for the area’s laidback lifestyle, with comfy armchairs inside and benches out front where you can catch the breeze. Swing by and let the baristas do their thing at the bar, which offers various ways to enjoy Padre’s blends and single origins. “Roasted in paradise” is the tagline here, and giant windows looking into the roasting room offer guests a free side of morning theatre with every cup of the good stuff.

Alternatively, you can pick up just-roasted beans and coffee-making equipment for brews back at your place. If you need some pointers, Padre runs its popular Espresso 101 course on Thursdays and Saturdays, where baristas of all skill levels can get schooled by the best in the business.
