Brewhouse


It’s no mean feat to relocate your relatively new business.  Particularly when you are talking about boutique coffee roasting equipment with a cafe arm to your establishment.  This is exactly what the Brewhouse in Bendigo has done – with absolute style, energy and consideration.

Originally opening in an industrial area in December 2011, the Brewhouse consider themselves a wholesaler first with a philosophy of perfecting and providing hand roasted coffee.  But it needs to be said that by opening their doors to the public to enjoy the vigour is absolute genius.

I am sitting in the Brewhouse on day one in their new premises and the place is absolutely pumping with a crowd that has come from all over town.  There are corporates, mums and bubs, gym goers, cyclists, Uni students and baby boomers - all here getting their caffeine injection for the day and simply soaking up the happiness, which is the vibe de jour.

In converting this old warehouse owner Corey Scoble and his team have maximised their new space in the centre of town, with long communal tables, comfy lounge chairs overlooking the street at the floor to ceiling windows and a semi outdoor area with faux grass overlooking the coffee roasters.  This space is begging for the lycra brigade to park their bikes and come in for a latte.

The absolute visual hero is the graffiti style mural art by ‘Hip Hop for Youth’, which takes up the most part of the wall space.  It’s so incredibly appropriate and you can hardly take your eyes off it.  The woman with the auburn hair is a knock out.



Led by their dynamic cafe manager Tim, the staff here are simply fabulous.  They are attentive, energetic, and friendly and provide seamless table service at shared tables - that is a talent in itself.  They certainly give you the feeling that they will and can solve any query.  Their passion for coffee is distinct, especially when you get a crew of them in unison on the grinders and machines yelling ‘coffee up’ when an order is ready.  Food is also a highlight here with a menu that serves breakfast and lunch all day also catering for the vegetarians and gluten free people amongst us. 

Congratulations Brewhouse – you have made the right move!
