What people say
Hands down the best specialty coffee roaster/shop in the greater region. The team here are top legends and the level of care that goes into every coffee, whether it's milk, espresso or batch is unmatched! Everyone here is passionate about coffee and it shows. I drive an hour to get here several times a week and love it. Yeeeww 🤙🏻
Don't let the thought of a coffee shop in an industrial shed deter you from going to this amazing place. From the amazing staff who greet you with a smile all the time / to the warmth of the shop and the truely amazing coffee they serve up every day - you will not be disappointed. Thankyou Old Quarter for starting my days in a positive way. Ps. Thankfully they do not open at 5.00am as I would never get a WOD in. 🤣
The best chai latte around and my partner says it’s the best coffee. There was a little slip up with the order which they fixed with no fuss. Legends!
The enthusiasm here is next level! I love coming here to get the best coffee in Ballina. It’s not the cheapest but it’s definitely the best. The staff are so knowledgeable and helpful and genuinely care about helping you chose the right coffee for your home espresso, cold brew, pour over, cold drip or batch brew or however you prefer to brew your morning cup of gods nectar. They go above and beyond to help you troubleshoot and get the best brew at home too.
Well worth the detour on our road trip south from Brisbane. Situated in the industrial part of Ballina, this roastery is a winner. The coffee has beautiful rich flavours which lingers long after the last sip. They also have some great snacks in the cabinet. Service is professional, prompt & friendly
