Wide Open Road

Wide Open Road began as a passion project to bring specialty coffee to Brunswick’s heart, transforming a once-derelict warehouse into a community hub. Over the years, it has become a pioneer in Melbourne’s third-wave coffee movement, carving out a reputation for innovation and quality. The team’s commitment to sourcing and roasting their own beans set a new local standard, drawing coffee lovers from across the city. Their vision has always been to create an inclusive, welcoming space where everyone feels at home, and that ethos runs deep in every detail.

Coffee here is crafted with meticulous attention, from bean selection to precise extraction, with every shot reflecting their roasting expertise. The baristas are knowledgeable and genuinely passionate, always happy to talk through single origins or recommend a filter brew. Their signature blend excels both in milk and as a straight espresso, and rotating guest roasts keep things fresh for regulars. Drinks arrive in sturdy ceramics, often paired with thoughtful food options that elevate the entire experience. Seating ranges from communal tables to cozy corners, perfect for both solo work and lively catch-ups.
