If I worked in the area this small but on-trend (Monocle magazine available to read, wooden tables,…read moreexposed brick etc) cafe would be a joyful reprieve from the cubicle farm life. Also, it'd remove the need to trick yourself into a coffee from surrounding chain stores. Like many cafes popping up in Brisbane of late, The Tucker Box falls into the category of coffee pushers that are fantastic for bringing a higher quality of product to suburban areas but aren't necessarily worth the trek if you aren't local. That's not to say they're bad, our coffees were consistent and I could taste the coffee in my flat white (often it's overpowered by the milkyness). My avocado on turkish toast was bountiful and the avocado to toast ratio spot on. We weren't discouraged from popping up our laptops and punching out a little work while we sipped our drinks. They're just not spots that you would necessarily make a trip specifically to visit. I'm glad I visited though, it's pleasing to see the suburbs being treated to a cafe experience delivered by people who give a damn about what they serve. Oh and they win major bonus points for playing a bit of 80s Kylie and Hall & Oats while we were there.

Located in a very busy little suburban centre on a very busy suburban road. Stomp is the best looking shop in the block. Not big, but cute and functional. Lots of different types of seating inside and out. Food and menu looks diverse and delicious. But we just needed coffee. Beans by Veniziano. Coffee was well made and a perfect temperature. We did sneak in a coconut macaroon that was divine. Staff are relaxed and friendly. Parking is right out front, so it was a bit noisy out there. Choice seating inside for sur.

By far the cleanest and grooviest cafe on ipswich rd, I was first tempted in by the delicious food aromas wafting down the street. Part coffee shop part vintage collectable paradise this sweet little spot emits a lovely glow of vintage charm. And while the coffee is a bit average the food ain't half bad. I recommend scrutinizing their delizioso toasties (Mozzarella and prosciutto omnomnom.) and the veritable selection of cake and cookies. The place gets understandably packed for breakfasts but is well worth a visit when out and about in Annerley.

Some people consider Annerley to lack the kind of cafe culture that you'd find elsewhere in the…read moreinner south. It's true that there are probably only two places to get a good cuppa in Annerley; Dudley Street Espresso is one of them. Being a cafe that sells collectables on the side, it fits into that stretch of Ipswich Road just nicely, with it's antique stores and it's op shops. It's a busy cafe, on a busy stretch of road, so you can expect it to be noisy. The coffee is creamy and strong. The food is worth a mention- try one of their sandwiches. They're yum, and very affordable. I probably come here more for the food than the coffee to be honest (nothing beats a good sanga). Go sit down at long table that runs down the middle of the space, or sit in the window and people watch, or...car watch, as it does look out onto bustling Ipswich Road. The collectables are cute, but I always get the feeling they are more ornamental, an actual part of the shop, rather than goods to be sold. Maybe you'll feel differently and find yourself a nice treat to take home with you. The choice is yours.

Beautiful cafè, we now go regularly and highly recommend it.

My main requirement was just a decent coffee and I was not dissapointed as my double shot espresso was one of the best, the barista knew his stuff! The food on offer looked delicious but as I was happy with just a plain croissant with my coffee I cant comment more, although watching how the food was presented to other customers was impressive. The cafe staff were polite, friendly and and helpful. I was only in Brisbane for a few days but used The Room wth Roses as my regular coffee cafe. Next time I am in Brisbane I wont have to go searching for decent coffee!!!
