Nice place for a catch up with friends. The coffees served were cold. Would have been nice to improve on that. Plenty of buns to choose from. Nice.

A ridiculously underated/hidden gem for any pastry lovers. These guys are NO joke! Solid 9-10/10 for every item we sampled and their coffee is among the best I've had. Only negative is parking (I got lucky) but can see it being an annoyance, but all good things take time right

A lot of pastry options and the open kitchen are so eye catching!! Coffee options are a lot simpler but tempting too try all. The shop itself is also wide and comfortable with a bit share table.

The place is huge. They have big table if you intend to work while sipping coffee. Flat white tastes wonderful. I will comeback to try the pastries. Staffs are friendly.

Cool place, a cafe in a warehouse. We ordered iced filter and iced latte, both were awesome! The staff there were very friendly and proactively offered sparking water with no additional charge. Loved it!!

Fave cafe in Brunswick. I wish they had soy milk but otherwise the coffee is great and the food is outstanding. The Lt Cardigan shokupan is a must but the pastries are also well worth a try - especially the ham and cheese croissant.

First time at Bench Coffee Co and I was impressed. They do proper pour overs, the space is clean and minimal, and the staff were super friendly. Will definitely be back.
