Roaster
b3 Coffee
Ben Laakmann opened b3 as a roast house on Blackwood's main road in 2016; Shana Knowles joined as co-owner two years on, and both still work the floor. The café pours single origins the team sources farm-direct, from Brazil's Tres Meninas to an Australian-grown lot out of Mareeba, each shot weighed to a recipe and remade if it misses. Small-batch roasting now runs from Somerton Park, and a coffee academy teaches the rest.
Roaster
Dawn Patrol Coffee
A South Australian specialty roaster with an Adelaide Hills cellar door — a novel spot to taste your way through premium blends and single origins, or to shop them online. Coffee treated with the seriousness usually reserved for wine. A destination worth the drive into the hills.
Café
Exchange Coffee
An Adelaide café on Vardon Avenue serving beautiful, traceable coffee from some of the country's best roasters rather than its own — silky espresso and full-bodied filter, chosen with care. Open since 2013 on a mission to make specialty coffee approachable, it pairs the brews with a brunch kitchen running seven days, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options throughout. A dependable CBD spot for coffee done thoughtfully.
Roaster
Goliath Coffee Roasters
Roaster
La Crema Coffee Roasters
A family-owned South Australian roaster in St Mary's, with more than thirty years and some 800 local clients behind it. The beans skew conscientious — organic, Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance and Swiss Water decaf across more than ten origins — roasted daily, often lot by lot. Its Reserve Roastery was the first in Australia to open coffee tours to the public, alongside barista courses and a licensed function space.
Roaster
Patio Coffee Roasters
A specialty roaster in Adelaide with a coffee 'cellar door' in Richmond, where you can taste premium beans, browse espresso machines and accessories, and have a cup pulled properly on the spot. It bills itself as South Australia's one-stop destination for all things coffee. Character in the cup, gear on the shelves.
Roaster
Pogo Coffee Roasters
# Pogo Coffee Roasters An Adelaide-based specialty coffee roaster in Kent Town with locations across the city. The roastery uses an air-roasting method—beans suspended in a fluid bed of hot air—to produce consistent results. Their catalogue focuses on smooth, full-bodied espresso blends and single origins with clean mouthfeel, designed for the modern coffee consumer. Beans available as one-off purchases or subscriptions, alongside brew equipment and merchandise.

Roaster
SOHO Coffee Roasters
In Adelaide's heart, this coffee roaster sources beans globally and produces specialty blends under names like Dark Horse and The Conductor.

It's a place for those serious about their coffee setup.
Roaster
The Coffee Bean Shop
# The Coffee Bean Shop Located at Adelaide Central Market on Gouger Street, this roastery handles every step from roasting to your door. Daily batches are roasted on a 40-year-old Petroncini roaster, then hand-packed fresh and dispatched quickly to preserve flavour. The range spans espresso blends and single-origin offerings across standard and decaf varieties, with bundle options for sampling multiple roasts.
