Toby’s Estate

Toby Smith (after whom Toby’s Estate is named) couldn’t sleep the day before his first out-of-Down-Under branch opened – could have been the numerous cups of farmer-direct high-altitude Arabica he’d consumed in preparatory anticipation. Now that the riverside refurbished warehouse space is up and whirring, this well-travelled roaster, retailer, wholesaler and trainer can slurp his single-origin Ghana Red drinking chocolate and let his baristas do the brewing. There are more than three types of brewing machines and a range of siphons for the various beans. Admire the clean, raw lines of the space, and the black-and-white mural of the coffee-picking process from the warm-coloured long wood table in the middle of the room. Brunch is also served at Toby’s Estate.
