Hi Matt,
  Ive found Merlos to be good.Friendly staff that know their coffee.
Theyre located on the corner of James and McLachlan Sts Fortitude Valley.
But for the freshest coffee why not try roasting your own.
Check out the Roasting discussion posts for mucho information.
 
cheers,
Ken.

Matt, There are a few choices in Brisbane. I go down to Di Bella at Abbortsford Road at Bowen Hills. About Brisbanes second largest just a tad behind Merlo, but a bit cheaper and perhaps better!!. They roast down there and have plenty of people to help with flavours, tours, coffee training and free coffee!!!! to taste

You can also go to the Melbourne business of Grinders and they have a site in Ann Street Fortitude Valley. There are a few others around that roast and many caffes that sell beans but they would be my three picks
