    I've stopped in to this suburban haven for coffee a couple of times and have been impressed not only by the coffee but by the fantastic service. It's obvious that everyone here, from the owners down to the the most junior of staff, make a special effort to make you feel at home, and keep you coming back (an imperative when you run a venue a little off the main drag). The beans were Elixir, an increasingly popular boutique roaster in Brisbane. My latte was nice and hot without a hint of bitterness: made and served with suburban love and character!

    Well, well, well. In the midst of leafy Ashgrove, what I think were once two houses, are now the bustling cafe Famish'd on Frasers. A cafe I'd long heard about, read Yelp reviews of, but yet still hadn't been. This weekend changed all that when my partner-in-crime and I were in need of an early lunch and coffee. Stat. Despite being Father's Day, there was still ample room for a table for two and we were seated with a smile. Our coffee orders were taken and I don't think I'd blinked before they were delivered to our table. Famish'd use Toby's Estate beans and the skill of the baristas bring together a beautifully satisfying cup of coffee. The menu has a little something for everyone. It's kid-friendly, offers simple jaffles, eggs on toast, and then a little twist on savoury mince. We both went with the savoury mince which is served with herbed gnocchi, a poached egg and a slice of sourdough. It's a warm hug, homely and soulful. That said, it could have done with a little less herbs - the rosemary or thyme was strong, strong, strong! All in all a great all-rounder cafe and one that I'm eager to return to for it's relaxed atmosphere, efficient service and well-done cafe meals.

    Around the corner from where I grew up there is a little commercial space that has seen a revolving door of businesses over the years. My personal favourite up until now has been the twenty four hour laundry - for all those times I needed a clean shirt at four in the morning. Famish'd on Frasers is the latest addition to Frasers Road and while it may not be open 24 hours, (although a 24/7 suburban cafe is a business model as interesting as it is fundamentally flawed) it is by far the best proposition this little corner has yet seen. The decor is nothing too out of the ordinary but I was a fan of the large wooden table situated directly inside the entrance. Also of note are the various paintings of Brisbane landscapes and landmarks that line the walls. As I waited for my coffee I wandered around admiring these colourful impressions of places and monuments so familiar to me. And as for the coffee - great! A very pleasing development for me given the close proximity to my family home. The staff, too, were notable in their service. All offering smiles and a shared joke over the counter as I ordered my beverage. The ability to make a customer feel welcomed and of value is important for any business but absolutely vital to a local cafe just starting out. So while this particular corner may have served as a graveyard for many a budding entrepreneur I am confident after my experience of Famished that this is the place that will finally break the curse.

With COVID 19 social distancing they have had to make changes and it is takeaways only - normal hours and menu changed. Sad!!!

    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.

Its sheer ostentatious colour scheme has a hypnotic effect, you start to salivate and when you regain consciousness you're inside. Show tunes play in the background making you want for nothing more than to hop on a stool and wait of a frosty cold milkshake to slide your way. Then you realize you're in Milk. A modern take on the traditional milk bar/diner from classic times of jukeboxes and Fonzarelli. Being a café that's situated in one of Brisbane's busiest suburbs, Milk caters for a wide range of consumers. For those are time poor and in a rush, there is take away coffee and a display fridge carrying a selection of premade wraps and sandwiches. In addition, there is also a wide range of cakes, candy, ice cream and slices for the sweet tooth. After ordering at the counter, those with time in their corner have the option of sitting inside or outside. All around me there are mothers, business people, teenagers (on holidays) chatting, laughing and networking. It's a relaxing and family friendly atmosphere and the staff only amplify the surroundings. You can tell that Milk, with its nod towards traditional good service and quality foods encourages repeat business. For a lot of people in the room, I wouldn't be surprised if they were regulars sitting at their favorite tables eating their favorite food. For my induction into the Milk fold, I've ordered a Chicken Licken Burger ($16.90) and a Banana Milkshake. When it comes out it's more than worth the dollars I've chucked into it. Halfway through I'm full but determined to finish my meal. Not because I'm a sucker for punishment but because of how great its tastes. The pain is worth it.

I first heard about it from a friend and she described it to me as a 50s milk and burger bar, so naturally my eyes widened and I was keen for the first opportunity to eat there. Walking in there is just so much yellow! Yellow lounges, yellow and white striped interior awnings, yellow staff shirts, and a yellow website if you feel like having a look. It's really well furnished and gives off an air of retro glamour without any of the tacky elements that people sometimes associate with retro, yet it's also modern. I don't know how they managed to pull that off, but the end product is an amazingly inviting café where I want a boy wearing a bowtie and Ray Bans to take me for a milkshake and ask me to go steady. Or a bad boy wearing a leather jacket à la Grease. Either is good thanks. The breakfast menu caters for every nation. And by that I mean you can choose from an English brekky, Welsh, Australian (with chips, obviously), Irish, Balinese, Scottish, Jamaican, Italian, and so many more! And I saw kiddies running around with cute little cupcakes. They also serve real tea, not teabag tea and make a really good cup of coffee. Did I also mention the music? I heard flashes of Tom Jones, the Beatles, the Carpenters and, wait for it, Disney. Beauty and the Beast to be exact. Be Our Guest, to be more exact. Need I say more?

    While they aren't the cheapest place on campus, they have tasty food, the friendliest service, and…read moreI think are reasonably priced for a cafe. Sandwiches start at $6.50 for a simple BLT, most mains like chicken curry and rice or fish and chips are between $11-13, coffees about $3.80. Fairly standard cafe prices. It's a comfortable place to eat, with very funky (if space inefficient) hanging chairs at the front of the store. Coco (the manager) is super friendly, as are the other staff. They used to have the best pork roast sandwiches anywhere I've had, but unfortunately they have taken it off their regular menu because it wasn't popular enough. We still get special orders of it once a week though :). Maybe next time you're in, enquire about it, and if enough people ask for it perhaps Coco will bring it back to the regular menu? :)

    I've been here a couple times…read more Food has always been okay, and service friendly enough. Despite their large menu, I find there's usually very little on it I actually want. Most recent visit was to grab some breakfast. Just got the bacon and eggs. Tasty, and a decent sized serving, I definitely didn't come away hungry, and the waitress on this particular morning was quite lovely. You can sit inside or outside, and I can't help but feel the indoor furniture is just far too large. I guess you'll never be packed in. Unsure about first reviewer's experience; I've only been for breakfast and lunch, but the other evening I was walking past after 6 and they were just closing up. Perhaps they've fixed the no cooking after 2ish.

When I visited they were one of the finalists in the running for Brisbane's best coffee, best barrister and best breakfast so they obviously have been turning a lot of heads. This place seems to be a hit with the little guests too. They have a small table offering loads of pens and colouring in books to entertain the children and there were quite a few families with small children there and is obviously one of those children friendly cafés Mum's and Dad's seek out, without fearing dirty looks from those around them. The coffee really was very smooth..........I am a skinny flat white drinker and it really hit the spot and was just delicious. I was so hungry after the gym I thought I was going to cry as my tummy told me it was going to start to digest itself if I did not eat immediately. I therefore went for "The Revival Beast" offering free range bacon, cassoulet, mushroom, organic poached eggs, triple cooked chips & toasted organic sourdough. Oh yes................my tummy thanked me for this choice. Tasty and was really pleased to be presented with a very generous portion size. So the verdict.......great filling tasty breakfast venue, serving the smoothest coffee I have tasted, that is seriously worth a little trip out to Red Hill to try. Mum's and Dad's feel free to bring the kids here, you will get some seriously good food and once the kids get bored of the usual distractions you give them, there is a table full of new distractions to keep them content whilst you finish you morning revival.

I ventured up Enoggera Terrace on a Monday (yes! These guys are now opening the cafe on a Monday) after hearing they have WiFi. What better way to kick start the working week than with a coffee in their courtyard area. The avo on toast was, frankly, just the delicious icing on the cake. There's about 8 different avocado on toast combos on their menu, I went with Number 3: smoked salmon, feta and avocado. Plum Tucker is casual and cool like the impossibly twee friend we all have. They're on trend but they're aloof about it - they don't need to sing it from the roof top for it to be true. It's a cafe I know I'll come back to again and enjoy feeling like I'm away from the bustle of the outside world while squirreled away in this former cottage.
