Axil Coffee Roasters

Contemporary$$

Like a cross between a garage and a factory, Axil Coffee Roasters is busy and atmospheric, the thud of group heads and the rhythmic sigh of beans being weighed out creating a kind of Kraftwerk of coffee soundtrack. While the food here is surprisingly exciting - gingerbread French toast with caramelised figs, coffee stout braised beef short rib with hickory barbecue sauce - it's the coffee that's the real adventure. You might chance on a Burundi Mugirampeke that hits you with the earthy aroma of wet leaves and sweet, floral flavour - you just never know. You can also stock up on supplies for fabulous brewing at home.
