Lonsdale Street Roasters

Canberra's original specialty roaster, started in 2009 on a stretch of Lonsdale Street in Braddon that was then mostly car yards and garages — founder Alastair Evans's idea to source, roast and pour under one roof, which helped make Braddon the city's coffee strip. The roastery and café moved to the Dairy Road precinct in Fyshwick in 2022. Single origins and blends off a Diedrich infrared roaster, under a pop-art, lightning-bolt livery all its own.
