Greenslopes residents have enjoyed the unique offerings of Mourning Roast on Logan Road since its opening in 2024. This coffee spot was established by experienced coffee professionals Sam and Nadine to foster a strong neighbourhood hub centred around the daily ritual of enjoying quality coffee.
From its inception, Sam and Nadine, the owners, envisioned their establishment as more than just a place for a caffeine fix. They strived to make it an integral and continuously evolving part of the Greenslopes community.
A Sustained Ritual for Coffee Enthusiasts
Since its launch in 2024, Mourning Roast has continued its mission to elevate the everyday coffee experience for its patrons, encouraging them to take a moment to pause and appreciate life’s simple pleasures with each visit.
The owners have consistently conveyed their goal of making a trip to their shop feel like a significant daily ritual, nurturing connection and a sense of indulgence within the local area. Their commitment to crafting an experience transcending the ordinary cup of coffee has remained a central tenet of their business.
Consistent Quality in Blends and Treats
Since opening in 2024, the coffee shop has maintained its offering of a custom coffee blend that provides smooth flavours with hints of cacao, caramelised cherry, and brown spice. The blend is consistently designed to have a lingering richness suitable for both long blacks and flat whites.
Besides their signature blend, Mourning Roast has continued serving cold and batch brew options. The concise menu of takeaway food items, including toasties, croissants, white chocolate and macadamia brownies, cinnamon rolls, Caramilk pavlova Rocky Road, and a carrot cake-inspired shortbread jam drop, has also remained a popular choice for locals since the shop’s introduction.
Furthermore, their commitment to featuring a dark roasted signature blend with notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, and toasted almonds, alongside rotating single-origin selections from small-batch Australian roasters, has been a consistent feature since 2024.
Ongoing Commitment to Community
Since 2024, founders Sam and Nadine have continued to operate Mourning Roast with the initial passion that stemmed from their shared love for coffee and an appreciation for alternative culture. Their ongoing focus has been maintaining a space that reflects their tastes and provides a welcoming environment for like-minded individuals.
Their vision has consistently extended beyond simply serving coffee; they remain dedicated to nurturing a strong sense of community and belonging within their shop. The owners have strived to ensure that their establishment remains a place where coffee is central, with the aim that every cup continues to contribute to the local narrative.
Sustained Positive Community Feedback
Since its opening in 2024, Mourning Roast has continued to receive positive feedback from the Greenslopes community. Reports still indicate consistent praise for the quality of the food and coffee, the staff’s friendliness, and the establishment’s overall atmosphere. It continues to be noted as a convenient location for night shift workers seeking a place to unwind.
Specific items like the lavender matcha and the large biscuit have maintained their positive reputation. The availability of unique items such as “Sinnerbuns” and the Jerk on Turk specialty toasted sandwich continues to highlight their commitment to offering more than just standard cafe options.
Enduring Design and Atmosphere
The design of Mourning Roast, which merges a refined aesthetic with a touch of rebellion, creating a sanctuary where modern architecture meets luxe gothic design elements, has remained a consistent aspect of the shop since its 2024 opening.
This unique atmosphere continues to contribute to the overall experience that Sam and Nadine aimed to provide their customers from the outset.
