Prime Cafe for Samford This is a popular cafe on weekends…read moreand the weekend tourist trap. Located just off the main road it is easy enough to find and there is lots of parking - but finding a close spot at lunch on the weekend is a lottery. Walk in - find a host and be seated - inside or out , lots of tables. Table service - it was on the slow side but given the crowd we were accepting. Lots of good things on the menu, which is broad and has ample vegan and GF options. Coffee was better than expected - above average. Food was good but I noted that table next to us had the dishes come out in ad hoc order so some where finishing when others food arrived. Overall it's good - also a bit pricey. But good.

Need a parent-friendly place to entertain your folks for Sunday lunch? Flying Nun might just be…read moreworth having up your sleeve. With Samford Valley now being a swift 15-minute drive from home, we loaded up the car with the parents and ventured into the village for a leisurely lunch and the Nun did not disappoint. As other Yelpers have noted, it does get busy and all the inside tables were reserved. Don't get too hung up on sitting inside, I actually think it's nicer to be outside to take in the surrounds. We were able to easily nab a table outside and amongst a lovely gentle breeze. A gentle note: you may spend a little time, as I did, picking out various leaves and plant matter from your plate and cup if you're seated right at the front tables. The menu is standard cafe fare ranging from smashed avocado or banana bread to the Clergy Burger (aka cheese burger). For around $20 per meal you won't go home hungry. There's a few surprises in the duck and lentil dish with orange. Oh how I wish I'd ordered that. It's a perfectly 'A-ok' spot to stop for lunch and as long as you've reserved ahead, breakfast.

That Black Sheep Knows How To Cook!…read more What a pleasant surprise the Black Sheep Caffe at Samford is. They have an excellent menu, friendly helpful staff and a tasty range of drinks to tempt all buds. It really is very nice indeed. The front garden offers shaded tables to relax or you can choose indoor seating to get away from the weather. There's even things for the kids to play with and they're pet friendly too, should you wish to dine with your well behaved fur baby. Top marks.

We stopped in here on a weekend for lunch as nowhere else was open. There were plenty of other…read morepeople around and the meals we could see looked pretty good. We opted for the special of a Lamb Burger. While the burger was nice, it was pretty basic. Bun, lettuce, beetroot and sauce. The patty was the let down. It was definitely a packaged patty which was disappointing. Plus I could see other burgers with chips and ours had just the burger. I would go back to give this place a try but honestly at $17 for a pretty much basic burger the price is too expensive. I have been able to get better bigger burgers with chips for less. Not a stand out but staff where very friendly.

Nice little cafe just down from the Store of Requirement and over from the park at Samford Village…read more It was an extremely hot day so we opted for the delicious gelato. We had the double chocolate (so good) and the espresso (hands down one of the best coffee ice creams I've had). Very friendly staff and even in an extremely busy day we were served quickly. Prices were reasonable and all other items on menu looked really nice.

I decided to visit this cafe after discovering it was a child-friendly venue on the outskirts of…read moreBrisbane. The cafe itself is a bit different, nestled in the heart of a nursery and at the base of Mt. Glorious. It is surrounded by interesting sculptures. We probably arrived a bit early, not realising it didn't open until 9am. The breakfast was nice but there was nothing worthy of taking that 'foodie' photo. Mr. 21 months had a bubbacino and enjoyed that, as it came with sprinkles. I have since found out these are free on Tiny Tot Tuesdays. They have 'toys' at the cafe for kids to play with but they are all run down second hand toys that are largely broken and in desperate need of a clean. The good bit about the cafe is that there is a nearby playground, which is somewhat fenced but the opening to the playground is about 1m off the ground, so you do have to lift your kids into it. This was not optimal with a toddler in one arm and a baby capsule in the other. It could also use more shading. It was wet from rain when I was there.

I had a mug of flat white with the smashed avo (I'll never afford my house now). Coffee was ok, the smashed avo well above average. It was the basil pesto that knocked it up an extra notch. When I mentioned this to the waitress, she ducked away and grabbed a little bit more for me! Gladly come back.
