Allpress Coffee has officially opened its new Brisbane café at 161 Robertson Street, Fortitude Valley.
Designed by Melbourne-based practice Foolscap Studio and delivered in collaboration with Brisbane builder Lowry Group, the space reflects Allpress’ belief that great coffee starts with great people and has been designed balance technical precision with warm, natural materiality.
The menu features Allpress’ signature blends, a rotating selection of single origins and filer options, alongside pastries from Sprout Artisan Bakery.
Signature drinks, including Mont Blancs, Matcha Strawberry Clouds, and Rosé Gelateria affogato, have also been included on the menu to foster coffee moments longer into the day.
In addition to operating as a café, the Robertson Street location will also serve as a meeting point for Allpress’ wholesale partners and a space for cuppings, trainings, and collaboration.
Adele Winterage, Founder and Principal of Foolscap Studio, says the creation of the café has been born from an openness for collaboration between all involved.
“The design celebrates the journey of coffee itself, from the espresso and pour over bars to the dynamic retail space, balancing technical precision with warm, rich, textural brand expressions,” says Adele.
“With Allpress Brisbane, we wanted to create a space that feels both inviting and refined, a quiet retreat amid the energy of Fortitude Valley, where natural textures, light and honest materials set the tone.
“Collaboration with local makers and circular design studios was central to the project. We worked with Mineral Fox on a new to market coffee chaff render, Five Mile Radius on a custom concrete pour over bench, and Australian furniture designers Remington Matters and Dowel Jones to create pieces that reflect craft, sustainability and a strong sense of place.”
The new café is the latest expansion site for Allpress, which also operates roasteries and cafés in Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Tokyo, and London.
