A destination for the true coffee fanatic, The Brunswick East Project is a cafe dedicated to presenting the perfect espresso by experimenting with a diverse and exotic assortment of coffee beans and different roasting, grinding and brewing techniques.
The cafe's rather curious name refers to its mission to involve baristas and roasters in the East Brunswick area with the community by offering a cafe service and training classes. Coffee roasting, grinding and distilling equipment hand-crafted and imported from Germany is also on sale.
What sets them apart from the proliferation of coffee cafes in the strip is their dedication to offering rare specialty, single-origin coffees and combination blends that are unheard of in the commercial coffee house - such as the nutty chocolate flavour of the Brazilian Icatu Amerelo from Ipanema, the berry- and citrus-flavoured Bani bean from Dominican Republic, and Kalosi Toraja, a dark spicy coffee from the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. If none of those entice, try the more traditional Nicaraguan Finca San Jose or popular Papua New Guinean blends, which, along with all the other varieties on offer, are uniquely roasted, cupped and packaged at The Brunswick East Project.
It's a cosy space with a mixture of bar stools and communal seating from which customers can view the whole coffee-making process, from raw green beans stacked in hessian sacks to the roasting machine viewed through windows in a room behind the counter, to the hot, frothy final product on their table. If all the caffeine gets too much there's also Swiss water decaf, as well as tea and hot chocolate, and plenty of sweet offerings such as berry muffins, tarts and biscotti to accompany the ultimate espresso.
