Swing by the flagship café-and-shop by two local brothers whose roastery, located next door, now supplies many other establishments. The desserts, cakes, burgers, generously filled rolls, juicy healthy salads and, of course, the coffee, never fail to satisfy.
Head straight for the garden at the rear. Here you’ll find a city oasis — a bit like stumbling upon a secret garden — and it offers the perfect, tranquil setting for feasting on their hearty breakfasts, healthy salads, noodle dishes or sipping a quality coffee or smoothie.
Unless all you want is a pastry or cake, this cosy place is not going to meet your needs on the food front. But it’s a great spot for a top quality coffee, whether to take a break from work or for a quick business appointment. And when the sun goes down, it turns into a bar.
Throw caution to the wind and opt for the ultimate in teatime indulgence with view of the river and a grand Victorian setting. All the English tradition of high tea gets mixed up with French savoir faire with the melt-in-the-mouth macarons and fine champagne.
Ideal for a bite to eat when out exploring Brisbane’s cultural offer or looking for a business lunch venue, the smart remakes of popular comfort foods, clean contemporary design and friendly, efficient service make this a prime spot. Also a ripper weekend brunch destination.
Always a good choice for a satisfying coffee, a cooling drink or a tasty meal without drama, one of the notable features of this Queensland-born outfit is that many of their cafés offer separate children’s menus for tear-free management of hungry tykes on the move.
