After discovering this coffee shop on our first day in Townsville, we had coffee here each morning for our week stay. Great coffee! Very friendly owner, Alan, who also makes some great baked goods. Highly recommend!

This little gem of a coffee shop is tucked away in a sleepy corner of Belgian Gardens in Bayside Precinct on Primrose St. The owner, Alan, makes a terrific coffee. The double shot cappuccino in a mug is perfect. The atmosphere is super friendly with quirky decor and comfy seats. Do yourself a favour.

Love this place! The owner, Alan, always brews a great coffee and his sandwiches and cakes are addictive. Over time the regulars in this place have become my “coffee-tribe”where you always feel welcome and everyone is happy for a little chat if you want to. And Alan’s warm personality and cheeky banter are a bonus

It's just my opinion but Townsville is a wasteland for good coffee. This little place tucked away in a dead shopping centre in Belgian Gardens has now shown me that there is someone who can make a very good coffee in this city. A modest machine and grinder with some very tasty beans is all that it takes for the owner to put out a very nice brew. Pretty sure that it would be a locals secret but it's definitely worth finding if you want to get the best coffee in the region.

Was just stopping in for a coffee to go and stayed for an hour and a half. Allan the owner makes a fine brew and the conversation I had was bloody good too. It's not your average up market cafe but I'd rather go to Kites because it's like "Cheers" he knows the majority of his customers and he's already making their brew before they they reach the counter. I'll will be returning and the pies by local guy Amos are good too.
