Blackstar: Coffee that changes your world

Blackstar is what gets me out of bed in the morning. I grab my laptop to sit under balmy sunlight with a glass of latte. You may ask, what is Blackstar? Blackstar Coffee is a boutique coffee roastery and espresso bar in Brisbane. Not only Blackstar fills a coffee-shaped hole in our hearts with sublime espresso but also upholds core values surrounding social enterprise, local community, and the environment. To bring specialty coffee to life, Blackstar started roasting in the old footy sheds at Souths Leagues Club in 2007. Next year, Blackstar opened its original store on Thomas Street of West End to create greater coffee experiences.

From sweet iced latte lovers to espresso connoisseurs, Blackstar is ready to serve your daily needs of coffee. If you want something different, grab a bottle of ‘Full creamy’, one of their cold-pressed coffees, brewed slowly and mixed with organic sweeteners and the best local milk, and quench your thirst. If you like to turn into an at-home barista, Blackstar sells three types of espresso blends freshly roasted in East Brisbane and brew gears to level up your barista journey.

Not only caffeinating the world, Blackstar also visions to caffeinate the movement towards a sustainable economy. They believe that great coffee can change the world. Blackstar buys green coffee in alignment with the non-negotiable ethos to achieve trade justice, partnered with green coffee suppliers who are very committed to the wellbeing of the growers they are partnered with. Moreover, each kilo of coffee sold at Blackstar contributes to planting three trees. So, there really is no more excuse not to buy their coffee.

Pre-work coffee run, brunch, or afternoon caffeine recharge—whatever the occasion, Blackstar has you covered. Just be sure to get there before those full creamys sell out.
