Morning Eats
Extraction Artisan Coffee: Double Bacon Breakfast Bun and Scratch-Made Craft
The double bacon Breakfast Bun layered with crisp hashbrowns and house-made BBQ sauce makes a thoroughly satisfying morning stop at Extraction Artisan Coffee.
When a morning craving calls for double bacon and extra crunch, a properly built breakfast bun makes getting up effortless. At Extraction Artisan Coffee, I ordered the Breakfast Bun stacked with double bacon, a fried egg, cheddar cheese, spinach, crisp hashbrowns, and a generous layer of house-made BBQ sauce.
It is a hearty start that sets a high benchmark for morning stops, backed by a kitchen team that prioritises seasonal freshness, locally sourced ingredients, and preparing almost all of its condiments and baked items in-house from scratch.
Is Extraction Artisan Coffee worth adding to your itinerary?
To round out the breakfast stack, we chose a pair of cold drinks served in two distinct styles. The Iced Coffee delivers a clean, cold caffeine hit that cuts through the rich cheddar and salty double bacon with refreshing ease.

House Condiments and the Breakfast Stack
The defining touch in this Breakfast Bun comes from the hashbrown crisps tucked directly into the stack alongside double bacon and an egg. Bound together with melted cheddar cheese and fresh spinach, the layers get their distinct depth from the house-made BBQ sauce that ties all the savoury elements together.
Knowing the kitchen prepares nearly all of its sauces, relishes, aioli, and dressings on site changes how you appreciate each bite. Rather than relying on store-bought staples, the team crafts its own condiments from scratch, delivering a tailored BBQ sauce with a rich edge that elevates the entire bun well beyond standard cafe offerings.
Scratch-Made Craft and Kitchen Scope
That commitment to making things in-house runs through the entire Extraction Artisan Coffee kitchen. Beyond breakfast classics, the team produces artisan breads, brioche, muffins, and specialty milkshake syrups on site, grounding their seasonal menu in fresh, locally sourced produce.
Their creative menu scope stretches well beyond conventional morning fare, featuring inventive dishes like black sesame tacos filled with orange caramel confit duck, chives, and edamame. Whether you drop by for a classic breakfast bun or a more adventurous lunch, that focus on scratch cooking remains the centrepiece of the experience.
Chilled Drinks to Balance the Meal
To round out the breakfast stack, we chose a pair of cold drinks served in two distinct styles. The Iced Coffee delivers a clean, cold caffeine hit that cuts through the rich cheddar and salty double bacon with refreshing ease.
For a sweeter option, the Cacao Nut Smoothie provides a creamy, nutty alternative that sits alongside the warm, savoury stack effortlessly. Whether you lean towards a crisp, straightforward iced coffee or a smoother cocoa blend, both drinks offer plenty of balance for a generous morning meal.
