Our spot

A shipping container, a good machine, and a window you can walk right up to.

MALCO Brothers is a specialty coffee bar built inside a converted shipping container, set up on the grounds of Citipointe Church in Caboolture. Order at the hatch, grab a stool by the barrel, or find a table under the umbrellas.

Every coffee is tailor made. It's the same barista behind the machine each morning, and reviewers say he knows his craft. There's plenty of seating, ample parking and clean restrooms on site, and a playground for the little ones.

The coffee

Single origin in the batch brew. Something new to try.

The single origin batch brew and cold brew rotate through named lots. When the machine fired back up after a break, the batch brew on pour was a Nicaragua Geisha. Espresso gets the same care, from a twin group machine and a row of grinders in a timber-lined bar.

Espresso bar

Flat whites, lattes, piccolos, long blacks and the house Malco Magic, all made to order.

Batch & cold brew

Single origin batch brew and cold brew, for when you want to taste the bean itself.

Beans for home

Bags of specialty coffee beans sit on the shelf by the window, ready to take home.

This is the café I'd been wanting to try for ages, and it did not disappoint! The coffee is superb, with a smooth, lingering richness that makes each sip enjoyable. The prices are very reasonable, and the service is friendly and attentive, adding to the experience.

Second time stopping off. The make a mean coffee, theres slices available of decent size for a decent price. I got a massive brownie and large coffee for $12 .... normally id be looking at $18. Theres a playgroup for little people and most of all while its on church property, it is a nice safe setting no matter your beliefs 🩷
