Lovely, comfy little cafe with great coffee and great food. Staff were very friendly, and we were…read moresurprised at how quick the service was.

Food in general delicious, service could improve (both at counter and serving table), pleasant…read moreoutlook from our inside table and nice and warm - room outside too, including on pavement if you preferred a cooler aspect. 1. Big minus - no freshly squeezed juice - although a great selection of bottled juices (around 8 different combinations), which one must select oneself from the fridge and cart to the table where a fresh glass was provided. For breakfast out, unless a buffet, I like to have everything brought to the table (as the rest of the meal was) and if there is juice in a bottle, for it to be brought with the glass and opened and poured - as you would at dinner with a bottle of wine. 2. I also prefer table service after looking at a menu, not having to grab a table and then go up to the counter and order. 3. I ordered porridge and then toast with marmalade and fruit toast - I didn't specifically emphasise the toast after the porridge, but I did say porridge and then the toast. I also asked that the coffee not be brought immediately but after the breakfast had commenced - so to have with the toast. So I thought they would understand that first the porridge and then the toast. Instead, they brought all together (except for the coffee, in keeping with my order). When the porridge and toast were brought out, I said I had expected the toast after the porridge because it would be cold by the time I got to it - there was a fairly halfhearted apology but no offer to take it back and bring out warm toast a little later - with the coffee. The porridge was delicious. The fruit toast was OK, the sourdough fine - but of course close to cold by the time I got to it. It would have been great to have a selection of marmalades and jams - instead there was only one type of jam and one type of marmalade (and vegemite, peanut butter and honey - bonus points for that as handy if there with children who may not eat jam or marmalade). 4. They came to ask if I was ready for coffee before I'd finished the porridge and I said yes - they obviously didn't hear because no coffee arrived and then when already started on the toast they did ask again and they heard me this time as the coffee then arrived speedily - so that was great. 5. My friend had the big breakfast which included home made baked beans - they turned out to be made with almost Indian style spices - that may have been referred to on the menu (which she didn't read fully), but as not a usual choice of spices to go with eggs, bacon etc, it should be highlighted on the menu. My friend said the rest of the big breakfast was lovely. Overall, somewhere I would recommend, but with a caution to be very specific re timing if ordering two different things, and to read the menu very carefully in terms of inclusions (I am assuming the menu did mention the spices, but as my friend didn't read it fully I don't know).

It's pretty close to a Coles for shopping afterwards and a fruit shop as well. The decor is quite chilled and inside the cafe it's riddled with heaps of magazines and anime comics. You can even buy a phone case while you wait! Didn't expect it at all but it's pretty cool! There's plenty of parking especially around the 9am mark! The iced latte really hits the spot and it's nice and filling. I've had it once before at another cafe and it felt really runny. So this one really hits the spot. Will definitely be back to try everything else soon.

This cafe is in a magical hidden area. It takes a bit of journey to actually find it. But lucky for…read moreme, I live just down the road. This is like my study hiding place and simply relaxing for sometimes, just sometimes. Free internet and good seating arrangements, it's very convenient and comfortable for me. I always order these three drinks: caramel latte, Vietnamese coffee (with condensed milk) & lychee black tea. The last time I ordered something else, I feel like I just committed a crime to the list of my life decisions. I am not much of coffee drinker, as you can see most of my coffee are flavored (call me a fake coffee drink/ wink wink). So all you expresso or double shots survivors, I'm sorry to announce that you gotta try it to judge the coffee yourself. There are not so much food on the menu, just some packed sandwiches which you can ask them to toast for you if you want. The cakes are moderate. I tried a few. Opera cake still tops it all. Beware: if you need a quiet place for night coffee. NO. Don't come. It opens late till 11pm but they are packed at nighttime with mostly young target markets.

I've eaten outside twice and even just sitting in the area eating the food takes me away like I'm on holiday. You're surrounded by greenery and ugh the decor is very LA/Balinese vibes - it's really pretty. They make great drinks both smoothies& mocktails at breakfast time ;). They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner, & coffee and cakes from Jocelyn's Provisions ! Biggest yass ever because JP cakes are so yum. Table service and wait staff are good - they do get very busy though especially on weekends I have noticed. I have never noticed irritability or rudeness at all, despite how busy they get the staff always appear professional and calm. It is more $$ but the food and drinks is 5/5 quality. Street Parking is available both on the main road and just in the side streets - it's a short walk to score free parking. I already know this is one of my go to places for brunch with my friends if I feel like having a fancy brunch ohohoho!

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!

Hidden Gem How did I not find this place earlier?…read moreOnce you find it you'll remember the charm. This is a gorgeous vintage feel cafe that has ample seating and space. There is on street parking. It's opposite a cute little kids playground. Walk up and either put in the order or find a table - there is table service - quick, friendly and efficient. The menu has some old favs like crumpets with passion fruit butter and the usual eggs and toast - both are great. Breakfast Burger is a very tasty meal. The coffee is good. This place is now one of my favorites - love the general store charm. Ohh! It's also dog friendly ( sitting outside) - they serve a puppycino - paw stamp of approval from outer chocolate lab.

I came here for brunch with some old university friends on a Sunday. It was super packed so I was…read morehappy my friend managed to snag a reservation. We were seated in the back where I got a clear view of the entire restaurant. The place is buzzing! We started off with some coffee, because that's what you do when in Australia. The coffee culture is HUGE here. After everyone arrived, we got down to business. We ordered: Crispy Corn Fritters: absolutely delicious! Crispy corn fritters soft on the inside are served with perfectly scrambled eggs. Not on the menu Breakfast Sandwich: this was for the kids who couldn't find anything on the menu they liked. Essentially a bacon and egg sandwich (on a burger bun). Smoked Pork Hock Hash: my least favorite dish is smoked pork hock potato cake dotted with green harissa, avocado, kefir tahini, and finished with two poached eggs. It wasn't bad, just kinda boring when compared to the rest of the stuff. Eggs Bender: Billykart's version of eggs Benedict. Two poached eggs and a respectable Hollandaise sauce paired with house smoked Ora King salmon, and a side of sauteed mustard greens. No traditional English muffin here, instead a thick slice of rustic sourdough bread substitutes. Aussie Asian Eggs: my favorite dish. Also, possibly the most creative. A cake of fried noodles is topped with grilled prawns and bacon plus two deep fried eggs over the top. Food is good, really good. If you're in the area, definitely stop by.

I get food or coffee from here almost every weekend and they unlike other places consistently put out awesome coffee and great food.

All i can say is if you love your coffee as much as i do these guys are worth stopping past for. Also, they have outdoor or in doors which i really love having a choice of. Thanks again for putting out top coffee and amazing food!

Caffe Primavera is another of those quality suburban cafes that are starting to pop up around…read moreBrisbane. I've been visiting for over a year now and have enjoyed it every time, their friendly service and delicious food making it impossible to not return. The menu is quite similar to most modern cafes, offering a range of sandwiches/burgers/wraps, as well as pizzas, pastas and salads. I recommend the Smoked Salmon pizza, an alternate take on the gourmet pizza, or the fried calamari, some of the freshest I have tasted in Brisbane. Prices range from $15-$25 for a main meal. The coffee has always been good. As experienced coffee drinkers understand, it's always handy knowing where you can find a good coffee. The baristas at Caffe Primavera certainly make a great coffee, using Merlo as their supplier. Always a good temperature, and never burnt; exactly what you want out of a coffee.

Yes, I was late to work, but it was worth every minute as I savoured my cake friend thing and mango smoothie. Real mangoes by the way. Always a good sign they take the smoothie making business seriously. Great for coffee, great for takeaway, great for organic healthy food. I am heading back for another smoothie shortly... highly recommended.
