CBCB & ODFUB — Restaurant in Melbourne

COLD BREW COFFEE BAR

Last week I discovered a true jewel 💎 while walking through my neighborhood in Brunswick – 3056! This gem is called COLD BREW COFFEE BAR or just CBCB. It is not an ordinary café. Once I looked through the window (it was late at night), I discovered a tap bar: SPARKLING WATER, BOOCH, ICED TEA, SOFTY, BEAT COCKTAIL (espresso martini 🍸– coming soon!), SINGLE ORIGIN COLD BREW, COLD BREW CONCENTRATE, and NITRO COLD BREW.

How cooooool is this! While some cafés are still trying to figure out how to brew and serve cold brew, CBCB is serving several options straight away on tap. I had the great pleasure to meet Cory in his stylish café. I immediately fell in love with the minimalistic design and of course the gigantic avocado 🥑 tree, which he planted himself. I am still puzzled how he managed to carry that tree all the way from his home into this lovely space.

I asked without hesitation for a little cold brew flight… and there we went: coffee on tap at its best: single origin cold brew form El Salvador 🇸🇻, single origin decaf cold brew from Colombia 🇨🇴, and single origin nitro cold brew from Guatemala 🇬🇹 (a quick origin trip through Americas). The cascading effect of the nitro cold brew was especially amazing! I also liked the creamy and smooth texture, as well as the milk chocolate 🍫 finish. TASTY.

You can also have some sweet treats: deliciously indulgent vegan desserts 🧁, plant based and gluten free.

But have a look at the photo with the nitro cold brew on the table. The more cafés I visit, the more I am convinced that I can judge the quality of the service and the products by touching the table the food and beverages are served on. Touch and feel the surface of the tables at CBCB – made with love...

There’s no greater cafe than CBCB. If you find one or claim to then you’ve likely never been. This is more than a simple dispenser of refrigerated caffeine. It’s a home to those that call Brunswick home. To those simply visiting, it’s the reason for why you must consider Brunswick home. The staff are divine as are the frequent clientele. Each with a story and a name not withheld. But if chatting and cold coffee is not your bag then know the matcha surely will. As are the glorious teas and pastries and generous servings of Vegemite. Five stars only scratch...

Obsessed! Skipped the yoga class to come on my last day visiting Melbourne! The owner is so friendly and Katie is too, another staff member! The nitro is the best of the best, foamy and creamy and super high caffeine! Must admit I was shaking a bit afterwards tho I did get a top up after the first cup! With a side of oat milk it is even better! They’ve got sparkling water too and delicious plant based treats! Bought a shirt and was given a free escargot to accomodate for not having any sizes other than a medium! Will...
