O'GaBee品牌甫於2024澳洲咖啡大賞的金豆競賽中斬獲 2面金獎、9面銀獎和10面銅獎！在澳洲主修IT的Michael老闆，從十幾年前加入連鎖品牌Gloria Jeans開始踏入咖啡界，並在疫情期間在布里斯本市中心Brisbane Quarter開立第一家O'GaBee & Co. Coffee，自此開創了O'GaBee的成名之路，並藉著所學的IT技術及在連鎖大公司累積的經驗，為量身製作商業系統，在扎實的咖啡烘培及沖泡技術為基礎，開始打造屬於O'GaBee的咖啡王國，短短幾年間陸續在CBD Queens St, Chermside及Birkdale開店，並朝向輔導協助新的咖啡店家，從零開始的技術及商業經營模式，與商場簽訂契約到世界冠軍豆的烘培技術，都難不倒Michael老闆。
全家從小都愛喝咖啡的老闆一家，愛犬名字也取名為咖啡的諧音"GaBee"，為了讓澳洲人能講一口好台語，更將店名取為"歐嘎逼" (台語的黑咖啡)，很多澳洲熟客都講得比台灣人還道地呢!
對Michael老闆來說，以台灣人的精實效率經營品牌，並融入澳洲當地悠閒的人情味在其咖啡中，讓每位熟客都願意每天來光顧O'GaBee話家常。Michael老闆並計畫在近年引進台灣阿里山的精品咖啡豆參賽，希望能在海外打響台灣精品咖啡豆的名號，讓世界看見更多樣的台灣!
如果鄉親們有機會到布里斯本，不妨去他們的CBD (Brisbane Quarter、Queens St、Chermside 或 Birkdale咖啡廳品嚐一下這些獲獎的咖啡！
恭喜台灣在澳洲的驕傲，O'GaBee咖啡！
Award-Winning Coffee with a Taiwanese Heart, Australian SpiritOn November 6, Director-General Fan visited young entrepreneur Michael Yeh, the owner of O'GaBee & Co. Coffee Roastery at Brisbane Quarter, and shared in his experiences and challenges of starting a business in Australia. Recently, the O'GaBee brand triumphed at the 2024 Australian Coffee Awards’ Golden Bean competition, winning 2 gold, 9 silver, and 10 bronze medals!
Originally an IT major in Australia, Michael first entered the coffee industry over a decade ago with Gloria Jeans. During the pandemic, he opened his first O'GaBee & Co. Coffee at Brisbane Square in the city center, establishing a pathway to success. Utilizing his IT skills and experience from a major coffee chain, he developed a customized business system. With solid coffee roasting and brewing techniques as his foundation, he began building the O'GaBee coffee empire, expanding to locations in the CBD on Queens St, as well as in Chermside and Birkdale. Now, he even helps new café owners with business operations, from store contracts to roasting championship-quality beans.
The Yeh family has always loved coffee, even naming their dog “GaBee,” a playful homage to coffee. To help Australians speak Taiwanese, they named the shop "O'GaBee," which many locals now pronounce even more authentically than native Taiwanese speakers!
For Michael, running O'Gabee with the efficiency of a Taiwanese business while infusing it with the friendly, laid-back Australian vibe means every regular customer feels at home at O'GaBee. Michael also plans to introduce specialty beans from Taiwan’s Alishan to compete internationally, hoping to promote Taiwan’s unique coffee on the world stage.
If you’re ever in Brisbane, stop by one of their locations at Brisbane Quarter, Queens St, Chermside, or Birkdale to taste these award-winning coffees!
