Damien Quick is an enterprising go-getter that turned a burning passion for good coffee into a thriving roasting career. As the brain behind Mt Glorious Coffee Co, Damien has spent years building up his roasting repertoire, expanding from market vendor to wholesale dealer and now to a new hospitality venture, Bell Bros Coffee House. The space is located in one of the front tenancies inside the iconic Bell Bros Building, which looks out to Brunswick Street through a set of large glass windows. After being told about the available location, Damien jumped at the chance to have a crack at a cafe of his own devising, quickly overhauling the space with a new coat of paint, wooden floors and a good amount of vintage furniture (think leather couches, antique lamps and flower arrangements), which lends the cafe a cosy 1920s up-market style that reflects the building’s history.

Bell Bros Coffee House is starting things off with coffee and tea, before a food offering is introduced in the coming weeks. Damien’s own Mt Glorious Coffee Co is on the pour, with three blends to try. A light and sweet blend is available alongside a medium roast and Damien’s special wood-roasted blend, which comes highly recommended for those that are seeking an extra-special jolt in their java! Bell Bros Coffee House will also be serving a large range of teas ranging from English Breakfast to oolong to Taiwanese green tea as well as some high-end aged pu-erh tea from China (served with vintage silverware and bone China sets). The food offering will encompass a range of dessert options, which will be available into the evening, as well as BLT sandwiches, pies and breakfast classics.
