Platform 9Coffee Roasters

A family-run roastery and retail store on Townsend Street in South Albury that sells beans by the bag, pours coffee for walk-ins, and roasts under contract for other cafes across the region. Small batches, an emphasis on sustainability through sourcing and roasting, and a hands-on approach to the trade define the operation: buy a machine here and staff will set it up and train you to use it. The back-of-house rig, which the owners liken to something from a chocolate factory, is part of the appeal, a place that wants you to see how the coffee is made. Wholesale support and full cafe fit-outs sit alongside the shopfront, so the same beans turn up on menus around Albury-Wodonga. For a border city its size, it is a genuine specialty roaster rather than a cafe pouring someone else's product.
