I didn't get the chance to try the coffee as I'd already had one that morning and felt like I needed a soothing cup of tea (we met our wedding celebrant here). I still feel the need to write a review as the Chai Tea I had was close to the best cup of tea I've ever had (I believe... More

We found this place through trip adviser and came here everyday for our morning coffee. Absolutely best coffee in town and the Lindt muffins yummo.

Whats good… Well the coffee! It’s not just good it’s amazing. The service was quick with a good amount of local “banter” and there is a good selection of cakes. Inside it looks like a collision between a coffee science lab and museum while rustic beer keg tables on the pavement outside add to the charm. What’s not so good…... More

Cold drip coffee was great. Service was very offhand. No greeting, obviously not really interested in finding out what I wanted. Wi-fi was down, with no apology (I'd gone there partly to access the internet). Slow to bring my partner's coffee and brownie, though both were tasty. It's a shame, as they could do the little things better and make... More

Hello and thanks for your review. I remember your visit to origin Espresso. I greeted you at the counter as we do with all of our customers . We are coffee roasters and wholesalers and do not provide a table service and i am sorry if you were led to believe otherwise. It is self service with the small selection... More

No doubt the best coffee in town. Weather your in need of a coffee fix or want a nice social coffee then Origin should be at the top of your list.

If you like your coffee then walk down to Warner St and order your favourite from Origin Take a seat , probably at a table made from recycled chep pallets, and your coffee will be delivered to you. You won't be disappointed, the coffee is seriously good. Roasted on site and take home beans and grind are available , their... More

Just had the best soy latte in Port Douglas at Origin Coffee. The coffee was perfect temp, great coffee flavour and the soy milk was a great tasting milk. If your a soy drinker this is the place for you.

My thanks to the local who recommended Origin Espresso to me for the best coffee in town. She was not wrong. On returning the following day (yes, it was that good) I was doubly impressed that the guys remembered my drink of choice after a single visit. This place oozes character and its coffee speaks for itself.

As a coffee geek and someone who has done the barista training myself, i know full well what it takes to make a good coffee! To compare it to coffee in Melbourne is like comparing apples and oranges. Don't waste your time! While there are good coffees to be had in Melbourne, I find the majority of it just not... More

Best coffee in Port Douglas by far. Highly recommended if you love your coffee! A little hard to find at first, but you just need to look for all the locals sitting outside.
