About Steamlab Coffee & Tea Specialist

Steamlab brings technical precision to Applecross with dialed-in espresso, custom-steeped loose teas, and bike racks right out front. Morning riders roll off Kintail Road for a Workhorse roast or an oat long mac topped up, where staff spot the regulars and queue up their cups before they hit the counter. Coffee flights brew with reverse-osmosis water, while loose leaves steep at strict temperatures and set times. Outside, shaded tables welcome dog walkers with water bowls and treats, while cyclists linger over thick slices of toasted banana bread.

  • Water-calibrated extractions: Single-origin espresso and coffee tasting paddles are calibrated using reverse-osmosis water filtration.
  • Precision tea program: Loose-leaf varieties are brewed to order with strict temperature and timing parameters per leaf style.
  • Cyclist and neighborhood hub: Convenient bike racks, outdoor tree-shaded tables, and water bowls cater to morning rides and dog walks.

  • Dedicated Cyclist Setup and Bike Racks

    Positioned on Kintail Road near the river foreshore, the cafe provides bike racks and quick morning service for riding groups.

    Somehow I always get my coffee in a yellow cup to match the bottle, gloves, helmet and shades. I don't even ask. Great attention to detail. There's even some bike racks
