about passport specialty coffee
the single origin filter is where you should probably start, if you're the kind of person who wants to actually taste what a roaster is doing rather than just get caffeinated. passport specialty coffee sits on toombul road in northgate, a quieter pocket of brisbane's north that doesn't get the foot traffic of newstead or fortitude valley, which means the people who end up here tend to mean it. regulars clearly feel that way, and they keep coming back. the roasting operation gives you something most suburban cafes can't, which is coffee that moves with the seasons and changes when the sourcing changes. if you're there in the morning, the filter is the call.
