A new coffee spot emerged amid the massive retail expansion that Westfield North Lakes underwent in the final months of 2016, bringing with it a need for quality coffee as fuel for shopping. Coffee Hit is a popular Melbourne-born java hotspot that boasts locations throughout Queensland and Victoria, and has now brought a slice of Melbourne to North Lakes. Coffee Hit boasts its own roasting machine, which roasts beans fresh on a regular basis for the cafe’s regular coffee service and for take-home packs. The menu features a range of all-day breakfast options, including popular choices such as the classic avocado or free-range eggs on sourdough as well as intriguing dishes including braised ham hock Benedict and coconut coriander lamb with flat bread, salted yoghurt and cucumber pickles. If you need a pick-me-up in between spurts of activity in IKEA, then Coffee Hit has got your back.
