Book NowAbout Blackstar Coffee Roasters - West End
Thomas Street regulars head here for serious roast craft without the theater—anchored by Blackstar's signature Revolution Espresso. The leafy room hums with communal timber tables, self-serve sparkling water on tap, and rare 5 PM closing hours Wednesday through Sunday that remote workers treat like gold. The kitchen keeps pace with the counter: think generous green goddess bowls crowned with lamb kofta and a rich eggs benedict over crisp croissants. You rarely see someone leave without a fresh bag of beans tucked under their arm.
- Precision Roasts & Brews: House roasts take center stage with signature Revolution Espresso, cold brew, and meticulous Clever Dripper pours.
- Afternoon Work Haven: Doors stay open until 5 PM Wednesday through Sunday, with free-flowing still and sparkling water on tap for work sessions.
- Grounded Cafe Kitchen: Substantial brunch fare spanning rich eggs benedict, bacon and egg wraps, and green goddess bowls with lamb kofta.

Matcha Iced Cold Brew
It had this clean, crisp edge from the cold brew, but layered with that smooth, slightly earthy richness of the matcha. It was balanced so well that neither flavour overpowered the other—they just worked together in this perfect harmony.
