About Passport Specialty Coffee

Tucked into Northgate, this two-story roastery treats coffee as a craft rather than a routine. Fresh off the airport run or craving a serious pour-over? Skip the generic cafe counters. Roasters Aaron and Chris run their stainless steel roasting rig right beside the tables, filling the room with sweet aromas of green and freshly cracked beans. Espresso drinkers single out the balanced lattes—steamed with care over house blends like Departure—while filter heads work through a staggering list of single origins, from thermal-shocked Colombian lots to vintage Ethiopian pour-overs. Beyond the cups, the standout indulgence is their house-made cold brew soft serve on almond milk, delivering a clean caffeine kick without dairy.

  • Live Roasting Rig: Active roasting machinery hums right beside the tables, perfuming the two-story space with freshly roasted beans.
  • Extensive Filter Lineup: Curated single origins span rare Colombian micro-lots, vintage Ethiopian lots, and dedicated filter tasting flights.
  • Cold Brew Soft Serve: In-house vegan and gluten-free soft serve churned from cold brew coffee on almond milk.
  • Two-Story Space: Two levels of comfortable seating with powerpoints, ideal for settling in with a book or working over a batch brew.

  • Convenient Airport Transit Stop

    Situated conveniently along the route between Brisbane Airport and the city center, it serves as an ideal transit pitstop for travelers and commuters seeking quality coffee.

  • The Departure blend double espresso

    Afterwards, I ordered a double espresso on one of their house blends - The Departure blend. When I ordered this espresso, I was served by the owner, Aaron. He was amazing knowledgeable and passionate, without being overwhelming or rude.

  • Latte

    The latte, in particular, is a standout — perfectly balanced with creamy texture and just the right hit of espresso.
