Good Company in Scarborough is a cafe that looks to bring the good word of specialty coffee to Redcliffe Peninsula. Located a stone’s throw from Scarborough Marina, Good Company is a charming corner locale boasting a crisply minimal aesthetic balanced by a warm, community-centred approach to hospitality. Aside from a few seats inside and a handful of stools on the deck, much of Good Company’s seating is communal, including a number of umbrella-shaded picnic tables on the grass and a host of large tables on the patio. A striking red La Marzocco Strada espresso machine is pouring perfectly weighed cups of coffee from Passport Specialty Coffee (including its Arrival blend and rotating single origins), which is also supplying cold-brew cans and beans for Good Company’s filter batches. Good Company’s food menu is an ever-evolving affair, which for now includes vanilla and apricot bircher with caramelised buckwheat, roasted rhubarb and spiced ricotta on toasted brioche, soft-boiled eggs on sourdough with brown butter and salsa verde, and a selection of four kinds of kettle-boiled bagels. Moving forward, the Good Company team is hoping to introduce deli-style sandwiches to the cafe’s offering and is also toying with the idea of Friday night set-menu dinners.
