Brunswick Roasters
Roasters inside a two kilometre circle around Brunswick, where Melbourne's coffee trade settled once Fitzroy rents rose. The boundary is the circle rather than the suburb line, so Brunswick East counts and Carlton does not. Cafes pouring beans roasted somewhere else were left out, however good the cup.
Wide Open Road Cafe
274 Barkly St, Brunswick VIC 3056
Mon–Fri 7:30am–3:30pm · Sat–Sun 8am–3:30pm
Wide Open Road has been roasting in Melbourne since the noughties. At the Brunswick cafe on Barkly Street, the blends have names worth noting — Shady Lane, Bathysphere, Moon Pix — and the single origins shift with the seasons. Kenya Rukira alongside a flat white on a Tuesday morning is reason enough to be here at 7.30.
Wide Open Road Coffee Roasters

Mon–Sun 7am–3:30pm
Brunswick roaster operating since "the noughties," Wide Open Road runs a cafe on Barkly Street alongside its roastery. The blend names alone earn attention: Shady Lane pulls dark chocolate and cherry for espresso; Moon Pix swings filter toward raspberry and golden syrup. Single origins rotate by season — current releases include a Pink Bourbon from Colombia and a Kenyan Rukira with dark plum notes.
