Wow it's been a long while since I stumbled on this place…read more It's as good as ever. Stopped in for brunch. The Breakfast Bun was delicious, tasty and filling. The Yumington was a sweet breakfast treat that filled the brunch craving. Coffee was excellent and worked well with brunch. Not too bitter - a Goldilocks blend, just right. The decor seems the same from all those years back. It's got a good atmosphere so why change what seems to work. As I said good as ever.

I found Extraction Artisan Coffee almost 4 years ago by accident. And what a wonderful chance…read moremeeting it was. Located at the back of an industrial area near Springwood, this hidden gem of a coffee place is well worth the visit. You will return time and time again. Apart from the amazing range of gourmet food, their house blend 'Gratitude' coffee which is roasted and produced on-site is to die for. Extraction caters for all dietary needs, and it is very proud of the fact that it uses and respects sustainable practices. I love the way that it supports local industries including the dairy and meat farmers. I also love the fact that the staff are continually being involved in community events, and they excel in the way they give back to the community and inspire their customers to do the same. You feel like family. Ordering at the counter is fast and helpful and the table service is amazing. Everyone is so friendly, and continually making your dining experience wonderful. Coffee, friends, food and good times are the essences of Extraction. There are so many different places to sit and enjoy reasonably-priced coffee and food. Large, small and medium tables are surrounded by couches and antique chairs. The decor is eclectic but not pretentious. Apart from the exquisite range of coffee, Extraction also has their amazing range of cold drip coffee plus a huge assortment of tea if that's your thing. Go and try Extraction Artisan Coffee. It's a great place to meet people, relax, chill out and enjoy yourself surrounded by friendly and attentive staff. And on a personal note, for breakfast, you can't go past the vast array of choices, but for this man, the scrambled eggs are done to perfection and the locally produced bacon is exquisite. I love this quote from their online menu which really sums up the whole Extraction experience: "Sharing food and enjoying coffee together is the equivalent of saying you matter."

They have plenty of milk alternatives including almond, coconut, rice and soy. Their menu is creative and versatile, with options for every kind of dietary restriction. The locale is convenient and decor hip. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The protein balls and paleo slice are well worth a try for a healthy, low GI snack. The apple, beetroot and coriander slaw accompanying the pulled pork burger was simply superb... they should sell it as a stand alone salad! This place could have a 5star rating, if only they offered sweet fries with their burgers.

It's a little cafe in a plaza that does great food and drinks. They recently started their new menu which features a lot of variety for everyone. Whether you're trying to go all out for breakfast, be health conscious or even love a sweeter breakfast e.g. their amazing looking red velvet pancakes. I really mean it when they accommodate for groups: they offer platters for 2, 3, 4 people and even crazy platters for $99. Our dishes were so good - all components paired well together (poached eggs and fried haloumi cheese? Uhh yes, always yes!), and my green smoothie was a healthy delicious combo too. The decor is cute and the majority of seating is outside (option to be covered by shade rollers). It's table service and they do have specials that are always intriguing to try. I can see myself coming back here over and over because of their food and how it's conveniently on the Southside. Keep it up guys :)!

This place is pretty cool actually! My mum and I went here on a Monday lunch/afternoon! The place…read moreis pretty small and cute, there's an outside area that we sat in and comfortable seats. We ordered the sizzling matcha brownie with green tea ice cream... it really does sizzle and they put this cream on the pan and it sizzles. Pretty awesome stuff... Got an iced matcha latte with grass jelly and it was totally yummy! I think I just ate too much lactose because my tummy was so not happy in the end... but I loved it!! I'd definitely be back for a frappe or some ice cream later on! The people that worked there were pretty nice too... I think next time I come it'll have to be during the day when it's not so busy and breezy outside!

I had the Apple crumble waffle with a side of bacon. Massive serving and every bite was a delicious taste sensation. I can't even describe the beautiful flavours of the Apple crumble. Perfectly cooked apples with the most decadent crumble and a dash of maple syrup and yummy scoop of ice cream. It was so filling I left 1/4 of the waffle so it is well worth the price. Daughter had the Ginger and Lime breakfast, eggs your way on four dough with your choice of three sides and said it was amazing.

Service was prompt and friendly, always nice to chat. Prices reasonable.

The Vintage Apron caught my eye as soon as it opened some months before. I decided to go there for breakfast on a Sunday a while back (when my intention was just to go to Woolies and grab some milk), so I wasn't really dressed for an outing. The staff were friendly and we had our meals ordered and on the table within 20 mins. We were able to chat and relax without feeling rushed to leave and vacate, and combined with the good quality of food it made a nice end to a hectic week.

I've made a few trips to Penny, some just for coffee (takeaway and sit down) and a few with food…read more Across the board, Penny is outstanding in terms of Brisbane's cafe scene. The baristas are exceptionally skilled, and there is a selection of roasts to choose from. While I normally like my coffee black, something that isn't too hard to make, I've had a few flat whites from Penny which have been excellent. A friend of mine asked if they're able to pull a piccolo using soy milk, without the milk splitting. Despite indicating that the barista don't need to try if they haven't made one before, they produced one (after two failed attempts) by slowly adjusting the extraction to the point where they could add a shot to soy milk without producing soy cheese. Doing this despite explicitly not needing to is the sort of above and beyond that earns long-term customers. The food is similarly stellar. The avo on sourdough may at first blush seem like a pricier version of what everyone else is doing. The flavours in Penny's version are, however, inventive and balanced to a point I haven't had elsewhere. There's a nice balance between the feta, dukkah and pomegranate where you can taste all of them without one overpowering the other. The vegetabowl is similarly great. There's just enough of each ingredient that you can taste them, without the dish being overpowered by one note. Penny's interior makes maximal use of the space. There are comfortably sized tables out front and inside, and some bar seating by the espresso machine. The best seats in the house, though, are out back, and include a few longer tables. The staff at Penny are attentive, friendly and great at pulling a coffee and making food.

What a gem! Penny is the best cafe in the area by far. It is rare to find a cafe that provides an…read moreexcellent choice of coffee (try the home brew) and delicious breakfast. The staff is friendly
