Project 281 Coffee Roasters

a slow saturday morning in brunswick moves at its own pace, and albert st has the kind of low-key residential energy that makes you want to linger rather than rush. project 281 sits at the brunswick end of that strip, on a stretch where the neighbourhood hasn't fully tipped into cafe density yet. the roasting side of things matters here: this isn't a venue that happens to sell beans, it's a roaster that happens to have a front door you can walk through. brunswick has always had a strong independent coffee culture, and project 281 is part of that fabric without needing to announce it. if you're planning a weekday morning in the area, build in time for a second cup before you leave albert st.
