Origin Coffee Roasting

A café that can probably be smelt before its seen, those at Origin take coffee very seriously. Whether it’s to enjoy their variety of blends, tuck into their delicious breakfast/lunch options or participate in their courses on the art of coffee roasting, you’re sure to have a good time.

☑Roasters
☑Vegetarian options

While it’s possible to work on a laptop there is apparently a 60-minute limit. We’re not sure if or how it’s enforced but good to know if you plan on visiting and looking for somewhere to spend a few hours working on your laptop.

Origin Coffee Roasting offers a unique coffee experience where you can watch the roasting process, experience a cupping session, and see the artisans at work.

We do tend to revisit our favourite coffee spots, but have to remind ourselves that there are other options too....
