Black Fox Coffee Pine Street

Black Fox sits at street level of the former Cities Service Building on Pine Street, a 1930s Art Deco tower, in a tall room of dark wood, marble tables and warm pendant lights that feels closer to a European espresso bar than a grab and go counter. The company began in 2016, founded by Daniel Murphy and Gary Hardwick, who wanted a better cafe experience and designed their rooms as a nod to the European espresso bar.

The team pours coffees from a range of well regarded roasters from around the world and sells beans to take home. A full kitchen serves breakfast plates, and there is outdoor seating along the building on mild days. Weekday hours run from seven to five, with shorter hours at the weekend.
