bunker specialty coffee - milton, brisbane. if one were to put how well secrets can be kept for places to go to, bunker would be better than some but still from observation the secret is spreading quickly. this would not be so if there was a good reason for it. though it is an overused and overly misused word, unique might be a proper word to use to describe here. the place is not much bigger than a garage and at any given time you would be hard-pressed to fit everyone who's there inside comfortably. they produce coffee that is among the cream of the crop in the entire city.
it gets the word "bunker" from being built in what it is - a world war ii-style bunker. jump through the doorway and it goes silent quickly despite everyone being there and the music playing. vines creep up the walls and onto the ceiling; the whole structure is covered in vines. my dining buddy had told me a lot about it and constantly driven past it. easy to miss is a usual term but it is more stark here than normal.
the two of us got a few items here: two cappuccinos, a dairymilk hot chocolate, some drinking chocolate, a brownie and pistacchio-cranberry friand. not one of these was below brilliance - the dairymilk hot chocolate tasted of actual chocolate without an overt amount of sweet, the drinking chocolate is way different to the flavoured milk that you can get from any given corner store, the coffee is strong and perfectly concocted, as for the brownie this is fantastic in flavour and texture while the friand has the obvious flavours without needing to be taught.
the staff here are great and organised. names are remembered and they seem pretty relaxed for such a huge turnout of clientele - there are three people to the espresso machine. most of why this should be checked out is the experience of the place. thumbs up.
