about buno coffee roasters and cafe - northgate

the cold brew here is the kind of thing worth planning your morning around. buno sits on crockford street in northgate, a quietly industrial pocket of brisbane's north that doesn't get much coffee traffic from out-of-towners, which probably suits the regulars just fine. people who live nearby have clearly figured something out, because this place draws a loyal crowd and keeps it. if you're roasting your own coffee on-site, you're accountable in a way that cafes relying on wholesale supply simply aren't, and buno takes that seriously. the sourcing decisions, the roast profiles, the cup you actually drink, it all connects back to one address. worth the detour off gympie road, especially for that cold brew on a weekday morning before northgate wakes up properly.
