Best Coffee in Townsville: Cafes and Roasters in the North

Townsville's cafe scene is lively for a city of its size, driven by a young professional and student population and a strong outdoor culture that makes morning coffee a daily ritual. The CBD and Palmer Street area have a solid selection of independent cafes, while Flinders Street and the Strand foreshore have cafes positioned for the morning walk and run crowd. A handful of quality roasters operate in and around the city, and several cafes serve locally roasted single-origin blends. Hours vary, particularly in the warmer months, so checking current opening times before heading out is worthwhile.
