ZMiRK is set to bring a fresh coffee and brunch space to Dutton Park, giving locals a new meeting spot in a neighbourhood that has seen steady growth in small, independent cafés.
Early Plans for the Space
The upcoming venue sits across from the South Brisbane Cemetery and is preparing to introduce a mix of specialty brews and Asian influenced brunch dishes shaped by the team’s Thai background.
The owners plan to begin operations in early December 2025, following weeks of construction and fit out work that they have shared through their social media updates. ZMiRK is led by two Thai born couples with years of hospitality experience. Their goal is to create a simple café that focuses on strong coffee and a menu built around flavours from their culture.
They describe the venue as nothing fancy and want people in the area to feel welcome to stop in for quick drinks or a short sit down meal. Their Instagram posts show the space in active construction with stripped walls, loose wiring and staff installing new frames. The team has been hands on with most of the work to keep control of the look and function of the shop.
A Simple Menu With Clear Focus
The team plans to feature specialty coffee from respected roasters along with house made matcha drinks. They also aim to offer toasties and brunch plates shaped by Asian flavours.
Their goal is to build a menu that suits local workers, hospital staff and residents who want something fast but not generic. The menu is designed to support the coffee program rather than compete with it. They want regular customers to have a few favourites they rely on and enjoy.
A Local Space for Short Visits
ZMiRK aims to serve the immediate Dutton Park community. The design is minimal with a muted colour palette to keep the space feeling calm. Seating inside will stay limited to encourage short visits rather than long stays.
The location near hospitals, schools and residential streets helps the team shape a service style that supports people on the move. Dine in and takeaway options will both be available and the team intends to keep their hours practical for morning and midday traffic.
Building Community Interest
The café’s social media presence has attracted interest even before opening, with followers watching the build phase unfold.
As interest grows, the owners emphasise that ZMiRK aims to stay grounded, simple and community centred. They want the café to feel accessible to locals who want consistent coffee without unnecessary extras.
