A special deal is offered prior to 8am - coffee (large size) and a breakfast burger or wrap for $15.50 which is great value. Try the big breakfast where there is a choice of bacon, salmon or Haloumi. Great to have an alternative offered to the ubiquitous bacon in these times of dietary consciousness. It's a nice feed and those potato cakes are quite the tasty addition! Cosy airconditioned indoor area plus the option of outside seating. Staff are friendly with a proprietor who obviously loves what he does! Ample parking right at the door. Give this establishment a go you won't regret it!

We came here on a recommendation from a local and we were not disappointed…read more We ordered a cappuccino, long macchiato, two eggs benedict with avo added and one with a hash brown. With Campos coffee, perfect poached eggs, and just the right amount of delicious hollandaise on the eggs benny, this is a cafe that we will gladly cross town for again and again. They offer breakfast to 1130 and the cafe was packed when we arrived just before 1100. We grabbed a table outside and it was a cool Brisbane Winter day so we took advantage of the blankets Luckily a table opened up and we could ditch the blankets and enjoy our breakfast inside. It was quite noisy inside and the screaming kid didn't help, but once the large family groups left it was a lovely place to relax with a great coffee and fantastic breakfast.

The best seat in the house is perched upon a replica Tolix stool overlooking the canopy of Everton Hills. It's a brilliant spot to stop, sip your coffee, and ready yourself for the day ahead. For a simple but satisfying breakfast, opt for the arepa with scrambeled eggs. It does the trick and won't weigh you down. And Mums. The best news is for you. With welcoming outdoor seating this cafe is prime for Mother's Group catch ups. There's plenty of space to wheel your pram around and kids can play in the play area while you enjoy some adult conversation!

Birds and Bees is our new local cafe which actually serves decent coffee and good food. I say that…read morewith an air of surprise due to my current disappointing experiences with other cafes in the general area. The cafe is located at the back of the IGA complex with a generous outdoor patio area away from the main road. There is a concerted effort by the cafe to green up their area with plants (recently rejuvenated with spring on the way) and it really helps to break up the usual car park feel so many cafes can have in shopping centres. For families with young kids there is a great little section set up with plenty of toys to keep your little ones occupied. Having been here a few times I feel like I can confidently say that the food that we've had has been really good and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as a great place for breakfast or lunch. There is a slightly Spanish bent to many things but also plenty for those just wanting a snack or something straight forward. I do find the coffee a little inconsistent depending on who is making it, not that it has bad flavor but more that the milk is over heated, perhaps that is just my personal preference though. The service is friendly and prompt regardless of weekday or weekend visits which is important. I just wish they were open on Sunday's and public holidays as we'd probably frequent them more than we do now. All in all this addition to the local cafe scene is a vey welcome one for us in Everton Hills and somewhere I would recommend if you're in the area.

I've been here once and managed to pick up a cook book for a birthday present and took advantage of the opportunity to grab a coffee and a croissant at the same time. The food and drink were top notch and the service appropriately homely as well. I'd definitely go back to try their bigger meals, which looked tantalising from where I was sitting.

I am super delighted Em & Co has opened up in Oxley. I drive past it all the time on the way to…read morework and noticed they've just opened in the last couple of months. The bright neon sign lured me in! So many reasons why this place has been a welcomed addition to the Oxley Station Rd strip of cafes. Firstly, their food - omg, yum. It's like, Asian fusion, bit healthy and they do the best Dragon Bowls (an Asian styled salad bowl with shiitake mushrooms, a spring roll, crumbed beetroot and other salad-like goodies!). Also, thankfully they've added BubbleTea recently to their menus. I am bit over the juice bars lately, so this is fantastic option to have. It can be milky, or just clear tea, iced and with plenty of additions available such as pearls, lychees etc. Also, the service is phenomenal! I met the girls who run the place and they are the nicest. They also helped me decide on what to get with their brilliant suggestions. Can't wait to come back in the new year and see if they've added some other delicious items to their menu!

This cafe, awkwardly positioned in a pocket of Pickering Road, might seem familiar. Their interior…read morehas been done before - mismatched plates and cups, famous people as table numbers, kitsch china figurines and oddly, many lifesize jars of Nutella. But give it a chance. What gives this spot a point of difference, in my opinion, is their choose-your-own-adventure style breakfast menu. They give you the base (eggs and toast - $8.90) and the rest is up to you. Pulled pork (china town style, hoisin meets char siu and dances with soy), vegetable fritter, Haloumi, mushroom, hollandaise? The list is seemingly endless. I arrived to try it all out at 11:30ish on a Friday. It's not overly busy but noisy. You've been warned. The concrete shell of this store means sound proofing isn't an option. Their specialty drink appears to be a cappucino (Genovese beans) with weird and wonderful flavours like nutella or such mixed through. I stick with a flat white that's easy to drink but lacking any oomph. I had read a review previous to going that said ask for a double-shot if you prefer a real coffee kick and I'm inclined to agree. As tempted as I was by the sides menu, I opted for a 6-in Steak & Philly Sub ($10). I've never had a philly steak before but when my plate is served I'm a little lost as what to do with the second slice of baguette. Served as an open sandwich, I'd happily pay a little less for not having the lonesome slice of bread or pay a little extra to have more topping to use on the other slice. I'd actually also love to know if I could have swapped the baguette out for it all served on a bed of spinach. I quite like what's going on at Hansell & Gretel. It's not new but it is a new take on breakfast for this particular area which (and they're directly across the road from iconic Grub Street) I think makes it an interesting game of play for locals! I liked that it wasn't stuffy or pretentious, just familiar food done reasonably well.

Hansell & Gretel is a fairly new spot in Gaythorne, open for breakfasts and lunches every day of…read morethe week. It's small, unpretentious but a bit quirky, and does good food and coffee with friendly service and reasonable prices. The menu selection has some interesting things on there (each has a fairytale-themed name - cute), with a mix of savoury and sweet options, but what is excellent is the long list of extras that means you can tailor your meal to suit. I like being able to add avocado and haloumi to everything! There is also a small, slightly more lunch-focused section of the menu which has things like a burger, philly cheese steak sub, and banh mi. I'm told the philly cheese steak sub is good, it definitely is big! I haven't tried any of the sweet menu options yet, but so far the savoury things I've tried have been yum. They have a decent looking selection of cakes/muffins/etc, many of which are gluten-free or dairy-free (or both). Hansell & Gretel is right next to train (Gaythorne station) and bus (390), but free street parking is also available down nearby side-streets. Seating is both inside and outside, I just wish the outside seats got sunshine in winter! It should be a cooler outdoor spot in summer though to make up for it. Latest update: something has changed, and it's more than the refreshed menu with higher prices (that now exceed the value for money tipping point in my opinion - I know the Woodchopper's Breakfast is huge but it's also $28 and for breakfast I just can't bring myself to pay that). I can't quite put my finger on it but H&G is definitely not as great as it used to be, unfortunately. The coffee is still good, they still play good music, and the sweet treats cabinet still rates highly, but my brunch devotion has waned in favour of other places in the area.
