About Salt Coffee Roasters

Brisbane coffee fiends rely on this sunlit Newstead stop for velvety cappuccinos crowned with melting, hand-shaved chocolate. The room hums with neighborhood chatter and cheerful counter banter, sending out quick morning flat whites in signature hot-pink cups. From the small open kitchen, cooks fire up creamy chili scrambled eggs on sourdough and savory tomato flatbreads, while toasted pastries arrive fresh from local bakery Idle. Meals land at outdoor tables on mismatched, grandmother-style antique plates.

  • Shaved Chocolate Cappuccinos: Spun with creamy milk foam and dusted with freshly shaved chocolate curls rather than cocoa powder.
  • Open-Kitchen Breakfasts: Simple, flavor-packed morning fare like chili scrambled eggs on toast and crisp bakery pastries.
  • Antique Tableware & Terrace: Food arrives on vintage, grandmother-style china across a dog-friendly alfresco terrace.
