As the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafts from the cup placed before you, a distinct sense of anticipation reminds you why you return to a favourite eatery each morning. Providing Brisbane locals with this experience is Martha Street coffee nook Blackbird Espresso, which boasts not only full-bodied specialty coffee, but also delectable home-baked treats – including gooey muffins and lush cupcakes. With an additional all-day menu on offer, the venue provides chowhounds with such tantalising items as smashed avocado or warm sourdough fruit toast served with your choice of condiments. Those running short on time also have the ability to order their coffee or meal via text.
