Newstead reads like a coffee destination on paper. Industry Beans, Single O, Tobys Estate — famous roaster names, all inside a few blocks. It should be the strongest coffee suburb in Brisbane. It is not. Not quite. The best coffee in Newstead comes from Coffee Speed Dial, the cafe with the least famous name. Punchy start, smooth body, caramelised chocolate notes. Meanwhile names like Single O (5.8) and Tobys Estate (6.1) deliver cups that do not match the branding. The gap between the names on the door and the coffee in the cup is the whole story of Newstead. 8 cafes reviewed, average 6.5/10.
