Frothers Espresso

Frothers Espresso is a coffee-focused venue in Merewether, Newcastle, with a close connection to Colour Dot Coffee. The Colour Dot team describes Frothers as the original home of the concept and the place where its approach to specialty coffee is most fully expressed.

That approach centres on coffee with clear, bright flavour rather than heavy roasted notes. The beans are sourced through ethically minded, B-Corp-certified importers, with an emphasis on recognising the work of producers at origin. Colour Dot coffees are selected to work well black, while also offering a sweet, balanced base for milk.

The offering includes espresso and filter coffee, along with the Colour Dot Foundation Blend. Its flavour profile is described through notes of cherry cola, golden syrup, apple, red currants and lemon, with coffees from Bolivia, Colombia and Peru contributing to the blend. The Colour Dot team also uses coloured dots to represent elements such as flavour, intensity, structure and mouthfeel.

For visitors who take an interest in how coffee is sourced, roasted and tasted, Frothers offers a more considered stop than a simple caffeine run. It suits solo coffee drinkers and anyone keen to explore clean, specialty-style coffee in Merewether. The venue has a 4.8 Google rating from 154 reviews, providing a strong indication of its local following.
