About Josie North

Tucked inside a Toowong office building, Josie North trades noisy streetfront bustle for serious specialty brews and inventive daytime plates. Regulars seek out the mushroom croissant packed with soft scrambled eggs and fresh herbs, or the tender pulled pork burger spiked with Japanese seasoning and spicy mayo. Behind the counter, the team pulls dialed-in shots of Melbourne’s Seven Seeds alongside playful creations like the sweet-and-savory miso honeycomb latte.

  • Tucked-Away Haven: Steering clear of standard high-street spots, this quiet pocket inside a commercial building offers a plant-draped retreat for light work or conversation.
  • Elevated Brunch Fare: Creative dishes include umami-stacked mushroom croissants with soft scrambled eggs, plus pulled pork burgers balanced by Japanese seasoning and spicy mayo.
  • Seven Seeds Specialty Coffee: Pours rotating single-origin filters and espresso from Seven Seeds beans, offering guests a choice of two distinct flavor profiles.
  • Craft Fusion Drinks: Signature creations span sweet-and-savory miso honeycomb lattes, cold brew crowned with orange cream, and fruit-infused matchas.

  • Inventive Asian-Fusion Beverage Program

    The kitchen crafts original Asian-inspired drinks like the signature miso honeycomb latte, striking an inventive balance between sweet honeycomb and savory umami notes.

  • Breakfast Burger

    I tried their Breakfast Burger (substituted the bacon with halloumi) and it was THE MOST AMAZING one I had ever. The brioche, halloumi, the sauce and egg were so melodious and melt-in-mouth that I was stunned at the first bite.
