Recently taken over by new owners Samuel and Viv in mid-May 2025, Josie North – a beloved Toowong cafe that has served the community for over nine years – has been re-energised with a fresh menu, a retooled specialty coffee offering and an injection of enthusiastic and heartfelt hospitality. Proudly pouring premium Seven Seeds coffee from Melbourne, regulars can choose between two blends – House Blend and Golden Gate – at no extra cost, catering to both smooth and bold flavour preferences. Rick, Josie North’s in-house chef, showcases a passion for bold, flavoursome fusion cuisine with standout dishes like the Korean pork belly burger, char siu chicken toastie, and the matcha supreme croissant – all made with house-crafted sauces and fresh ingredients. The new drinks menu is just as creative, featuring tropical-inspired sips like the Matcha on Cloud, colour-changing Butterfly Effect and a ‘Flavour Voyage’ tasting board using their specialty beans. While new additions bring excitement, all-time favourites like the ploughman’s breakfast and brekkie burger remain. With a renewed focus on flavour, creativity and community, Josie North continues to offer a warm and welcoming space where every visit feels like coming home.
