It can get a little busy at times (which is testament to the quality of the place!) but the staff are friendly, the coffees great and the toasted banana bread is to die for - it's best to just buy one piece and get far away as quickly as you can so you're not tempted to get more. They also have great "gourmet" sandwiches and wraps for a decent price right in the CBD.

The delightful fit-out is inspired by love for everything retro and under the glass of your table you could find anything from smurfs to cassette tapes.

Very cute, very satisfying - go in and try something!

Decked is a very funky little cafe. Located upstairs (level 4) at Paddington Central, across from…read morethe doctor's surgery, Decked is the only little cafe along it's strip. If you sit outside you'll only get a view of the surgery waiting room or Spoon cafe; but Decked compensates for this by making its interior very attractive. The tables (two of which are outside) are a wonder: built into the tables, beneath the glass top, are bundles of miniature toys. For example, one table top offered a few of a mosh pit of toy cars. Another contained those army-men toys; another marbles; another colourful plastic gum balls; another lego, etc. There's also some cool books and magazines to leaf through while you wait for your meal, including a range of cool Where's Waldo books for adults and a Banksy art book. I didn't eat the food; it looked fresh, delicious and to be made from fairly raw materials. I ordered a vanilla skinny cappuccino with some trepidation: often, coffee shops make vanilla-based coffees too sweet and too vanilla-dominant. However, the vanilla cap from here was perfect - not a small achievement. It was a strangely cold summer day when I visited and the air conditioning was blasting inside, giving me the chills. It was to the point that I wouldn't want to eat in, as I'd be too cold to be comfortable. I gather the air conditioning is just set to its default summer setting, however, and on 95% of Brisbane summer days the indoor temperature would be very welcoming. The staff were young, nice and hip, in line with the Paddington vibe.

Despite the name, this has nothing in common with a NYC deli, but hey, we can be creative. We're eating sandwiches with holes in the middle. The actual sandwiches? Pretty damn delicious. I quite enjoyed mine in the end. If bagels are your thing, check it out.

I didn't investigate it's origins, however there seem to be a number of Coffee roasters in the area, so it's likely to be from around there. We had the BLAT bagel and the big breakfast bagel, which were fuggin delicious. You can have your choice of bagel type as well. Kind of like an upmarket Jewish version of Subway. I would likely have given away 5 stars to these guys, if it weren't for the weird vibe of the staff there. We were probably in the joint for at least half an hour, and I didn't see the staff communicate with each other AT ALL, the entire time. That's weird dudes. A good concept that has only been there about 18 months, and would go well in Sydney I reckon. Just work on the personalities behind the counter to make the experience better.

Grab a freshly baked muffin, cake, muesli or GF brownie (these are huge) for something sweet or they have a range of stuffed flatbread sandwiches and salads. From memory, prices range between $7-15 for the savoury options. The salads looked fresh and the sandwich options sounded delicious. I just had a coffee and got my standard long black with a dash of milk. It was really good - strong with no hint of bitterness. Another great takeaway coffee option in the city and their signage was meant to arrive this week, which hopefully helps them as it's hard to find.

My Bahn Mi (a Vietnamese…read moresandwich, with lightly pickled cucumber & carrot, pate, and choice of protein filling on a french baguette roll) was flavorful and reasonably priced at around $7. The bread was fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The vegetables were refreshing and the tofu and pate were nice and savory. They added some mayonnaise which I didn't like all that much, so will get it just with the butter and pate next time, but overall a nice sandwich. They sell a variety of Vietnamese dishes including spring rolls, sandwiches, vermicelli salads, and if you are in a hurry some precooked meat and rice dishes from heating bins. They also have assorted coffee beverages and cold pressed juices. It's a very convenient location to catch a bite to eat or get a coffee after a climbing session next door at the Milton Urban Climb gym (the only option within a couple of blocks - so luckily it satisfies)

After an early morning Monday visit to Jacaranda Coffee Lane, I decided to hop on over to Scout,…read moreanother very highly rated breakfast spot in town, for a point of comparison. While Scout was good, it didn't quite compare with Jacaranda. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Even early on a Monday morning Scout was packed, and as I waited maybe fifteen minutes for a table I couldn't help but just be almost overcome with jealousy at the fact that it's so commonplace for so many Aussies to have the ability to just take a leisurely Monday morning breakfast. Anyway, I digress - I was promptly seated after a short wait and from there everyone was wonderful. The food did take a hot minute or fifteen to come out, but it was clear that's because my breakfast sandwich was made to order. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? $15.00 AUD got me a pretty good sized Brekky Bagel, and while it was pretty basic, this was still good value. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? This was a good, although as I mentioned relatively basic breakfast bagel sandwich. I wished that the bagel itself had been toasted, and while from there the ingredients were good, the whole thing was just a bit more basic than I had thought it would be. Single Star. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? I didn't for a second dislike my trip to Scout, but there are simply so many great breakfast spots in Brissy that I can't get as excited about Scout as I can for others. No Star.
