About ONA Coffee | Cafe Brunswick

Tucked away on Ovens Street, this Brunswick warehouse roast house pushes espresso craft far past standard cafe limits. Baristas pull complex reserve single origins and steam freeze-distilled milk for heightened sweetness, while the line happily holds out for layered creations like the Raspberry Candy flat white or nutty Pistachio Cream iced latte. The kitchen backs that beverage lineup with savoury okonomiyaki waffles, crisp pork belly, and eggs Benedict balanced on golden potato rosti. Tables fill quickly on weekends, yet the outdoor deck keeps things unhurried once plates land.

  • Specialty Coffee Program: Features reserve single origins, Raspberry Candy roasts, and sweet freeze-distilled milk for layered espresso drinks.
  • Inventive Brunch Plates: Serves savory okonomiyaki waffles, pork belly, and eggs Benedict over crisp potato rosti.
  • Warehouse & Deck Setting: Spacious Brunswick warehouse setup complete with outdoor seating for relaxed morning catch-ups.
