I've been wanting to try Bunker for the longest time, and today was the day. I love the vine covered hub, which reminds me of a burrow, and of a cafe that I used to visit back in L.A. Instead of getting my usual latte, I went for the bottled ice dark chocolate (5). I'm not the biggest fan of hot chocolate, as it's usually too sweet and heavy for me to finish (I know, strange, because I can finish a whole Chipotle burrito), but I decided that the unusually warm weather called for an iced chocolate. We were greeted by a really friendly barista who helped us right away - and well - the iced dark chocolate and dark chocolate mocha were pre-bottled, so there wasn't much work. The iced dark chocolate, made with organic milk (I think?) and fair trade chocolate, was quickly consumed! It wasn't too sweet, and I would definitely go for it again. The iced dark mocha was also really good, and not at all grainy, which often happens in a lot of mochas. My only complaint was that the bottles were a bit harder to open (I prefer Bean's bottles), and the straws were too short and kept falling in! The drinks were so delicious it didin't matter though....

They also offer take-home coffee beans which they will grind for you depending on what device you'll be using them in.

It had been a long while since I visited a cafe myself and had a bit of me time. Reverends Fine Coffee is situated in the Fortitude Valley neighboring a bunch of other cafes and restaurants. I ordered a skinny cap and one lamington. The coffee was amazing and I really appreciated that they used real chocolate on top instead of cocoa powder. The coffee was silky and smooth. It didn't give me that bitter and acidic aftertaste, which was to my appealing. As for the lamington, I liked it too but the cake was a bit dry but the chocolate coating and coconut shreds compensated the fact that the cake wasn't moist enough. But the good thing was the lamington wasn't overly sweet. Another thing I liked about the café was their interior design and layout of the cafe. The café is divided into indoor and outdoor seatings. I chose a table inside as shown in the pic. I loved the industrial vibe the room provided (that brick wall was everything) and the art works on the wall were well appreciated and gave an artistic feel. The music playing in the background was also really soothing and relaxing. The service was alright, but not outstanding. Except for the the brief moments where I placed my order, there was basically no more interaction with the staff. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. Will go back some other time.

I love this place, from high quality ingredients to a perfectly thought out menu with great staff and a cool vibe thrown into the mix. The smoked salmon with avo and labna on house made bread is giving me heart palpitations just thinking about it. The bread was super fresh, filled with seeds and had a delicious crunchy crust. The smoked salmon was not shaved like you'll find in other places it's large chunks of salmon that I'm told is from a local supplier. The amount of avocado you get is insane and everything felt so wholesome. Coffee was also really good - not blow your sock off coffee but definitely above average. Vegetarian options available and the juices are fresh and yummy. I'm going to become a regular here as I've not had such a great breakfast in a long time. Get on it!

Throughout the rest of the inside specialty chocolates and other unique delicacies lined the racks and shelving. Displayed at the front counter a range of fresh salads and sandwiches that I could tell were made in store. I ordered a coffee a while I was waiting the lady behind the counter asked me about my day which turned into a very comfortable conversation. When I was given my beverage, we thanked each other and I walked out the door, feeling I should have bought something else. But just like the conversation I just had there was no pressure just great friendly service. There should be more places like this.

The Mill Coffee is a big hit with the medical staff and patients who fill Wickham terrace on…read moreweekdays. For one thing, they serve Campos coffee and it's good. Probably the best coffee you'll find on Wickham terrace. They have a small but quality range of cabinet food including wraps, paninis, cakes, and biscuits. In winter they have lovely soup but they don't make much and it sells out early in the day. The staff are helpful and efficient and the prices are reasonable. Because The Mill does the vast majority of its business with medical staff and patients who are only around on weekdays (Wickham terrace is pretty deserted on weekends) , The Mill isn't open over the weekend which means that it's not going to be an option for a Saturday or Sunday morning coffee if you happen to be in the area. The Mill is definitely a venue more suited to winter, because with it's very sunny outdoor only seating on the concrete patio of Watkins Medical Centre, it can get pretty scorching in summer. The same characteristics make it a challenge in the rain, although they do have large umbrellas over some tables. The outdoor setting can be a drawback on really hot or rainy days, but in general is a plus because of the frequent pleasant breezes and beautiful fig tree out the front. Just watch out for the mynah birds, they have been known to steal my toast.

Like the pharmacy next door, The Coffee Mill is a cafe/restaurant designed to service all of the medical specialists working in the building and surrounding centres, as well as the clients of these specialists. I've frequented The Coffee Mill a few times, typically when I've gone to see my ear, nose and throat specialist to have my sinuses "cauterised" (a very interesting procedure which yes, does involve the burning away of the sinus tissue to assist breathing.) Leaving my specialist without being able to feel part of my face because of the anaesthetic, I'm careful when I'm eating here. I always order a coffee and I don't need it spilling down the side of my numb, droopy lips. (I can be clumsy enough on my own, thanks.) The coffee is decent but I always find the food here to be excellent. The last time I visited I threw health concerns cheerily to the wind and bought a beef sandwich, spilling out gravy all over the table without a care it was just that damn delicious. I was ravenous at the time and indifferent to the few people watching a slight-figured girl-woman devouring a sandwich like it was her last meal. This questionable novelty wore off after a minute or two and I ate my meal outside, fairly undetected. There's some relaxing out-door seating here, perfect for people-watching. Of course it's not an upmarket cafe, so you're sitting at a dirty-ish table on top of a cement floor. But anyone with eyes can see that before they come here, and I find this contributes to the cafe's casual vibe.

From others' photos, the food looked decent, so I chose this one place. I had high hopes, after seeing their breakfast options and fairy floss dessert, but alas, I was underwhelmed. The location and place itself is decently decorated and in the middle of Spring Hill, but it wasn't particularly eye-opening. The girls there were friendly, but a bit disorganized service-wise (throughout my entire meal). I ordered a coffee to start, and as expected, was just alright. For sustenance, I had the corn fritters with smoked salmon on the side, but I almost didn't finish the corn fritters! They were lukewarm, chewy, and tiny! There were two - and smaller than the size of my palm, with a bit of smoked salmon, a poached egg, and rocket with tomato relish (that just tasted like tomato sauce). The presentation and the service were alright, and their lunch options looked good by the way other customers were chowing down... but they really need to work on their breakfast if they're going to keep serving it all day!

Partner went for the avo on toast w/ lemon and I dived on a cheese & tomato toasty (simple but sooooo good!). Coffee is strong and well made. Prices were average & portions were decent.

Some beans have gotten close, but none have ever quite measured up. As a coffee shop they're just OK. They're pretty small, though the upstairs has now been converted to a bungalow with seats and the like. The focus here is the roasting, and the layout of the coffee shop pretty much lets you know that. You'd have to be blind to miss the giant roaster right by the door or the huge bins of roasted beans. That's not to say they're not a good coffee shop,but if you're looking for the coffee shop atmosphere of just hanging out there are better coffee shops, but they're coffee isn't as good. Seating is a bit thin and on the lower floor is just a couple of benches and some standing room at the bar. Their menu is basic, but everything on it is absolutely amazing. It's also the only, and I do mean only, place that I've seen PECAN PIE in Australia. I told my classmates that it is a thing, I actually tried to make it for them with only some small degree of success, but there it is on their shelf. It is also delicious.

It is consistant and clearly the Barista knows his stuff. Having a time of drinking decaf I can also rate this as the best place so far in Brisbane that makes decaf coffee. Whilst you pay a little more for it, they freshly grind your beans unlike most cafes who don't have the grinder space, and the flavour is exceptional (even perhaps enough for you to question if it is decaf). Cremosa has toasties, muffins, Italian style donuts and toast for anyone wanting a bite to eat but for me it's all about the coffee. The only thing to be aware of is that Cremosa is cash only, but even with that its worth it!
