ZKQ2 RoastersSmall-batch coffee
Est. 2019 · Micro-roastery

Roasted in small batches,
poured with care.

ZKQ2 Roasters is a neighbourhood coffee shop and micro-roastery. We source single-origin beans, roast on-site twice a week, and pair every cup with pastries baked each morning before we open.

We started ZKQ2 in a back-corner market stall with one second-hand roaster and three espressos we actually liked.

Seven years on, we're still roasting in small batches — never more than 6 kg at a time — so every lot gets the attention it deserves. Our beans come from long-standing relationships with growers in Ethiopia, Colombia, and Guatemala, and we roast on-site every Tuesday and Friday. Come on a roast day and you'll smell it before you see the sign.

The café is the front room of the roastery. Same beans, same people, no middleman. Pull up a stool at the bar and watch the drum turn.

Roast-day visits

Tuesday and Friday are our roast days. The drum turns from mid-morning — it's warm, it's loud, and the whole café smells of fresh coffee. The bar stays open the whole time; just mind the roaster at the back.

Holidays

We close for Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and the first week of August for our annual origin trip. Check our socials or call ahead on public holidays.
