Coffee House - Espresso bar - Events & Functions

Welcome to The Hoi

The Hoi is more than a venue — it’s a cultural hub, a meeting place, and a celebration of Townsville’s heritage. Rooted in the historic Howard Smith Building, we honour the past while shaping the future through expressive coffee, exceptional events, and everyday hospitality.

Here, history meets creativity. Our spaces are designed to connect people — from the morning coffee crowd to those celebrating life’s biggest milestones. Whether it’s an intimate gathering, a vibrant laneway event, or simply a great cup of coffee, The Hoi invites you to be part of something memorable.

Our vision is simple yet bold: to become Townsville’s most beloved cultural destination, where community, creativity, and heritage come together. We’re grounded in authenticity, magnetic in energy, and playful in spirit — creating experiences that leave a lasting impression.

Step inside The Hoi, and discover a space where stories are shared, culture thrives, and every moment feels worth celebrating.

Our coffee house is the beating heart of The Hoi — serving expertly brewed coffee, creative seasonal drinks, and a menu of gourmet toasties, fresh pastries, and light bites. Whether you’re here for a quick takeaway or a long catch-up, you’ll always find good vibes and great coffee.
