Staff were very friendly and helpful, considering I ordered breakfast 15 minutes before it was over. The coffee I ordered came out as nothing short of excellent and the food hit the spot with my tastebuds. It was definitely enjoyable going from coffee to my meal and back without any interference on the flavours that this cafe has managed to capture and harness. The menu can be found on their website: http://www.theboilerroomcafe.com.au Those who enjoy chain coffee shops will find the same money going towards something of better quality in a location that is spacious, vibrant and welcoming to all. I will definitely be making visits in the future.

This little corner of Windsor's Homezone complex seems to change hands often these days. It's…read morealways occupied by a cafe, but the name on the door has been changed three times in the past year or two. Nevertheless, it's a nice spot. The inside is an air-conditioned shelter from the complex's hot expanse, and the decor is modern, unassuming, and relaxing. Kafe Krave seems to offer both table or counter service, depending on what you want to do. You see a lot of people placing takeaway coffee orders at the counter and selecting a piece of cake or a salad from the cabinet, but there are also people who opt to settle in at a table and wait to be brought a menu. I found the staff to be very nice and helpful, and my pot of tea was brought promptly (I hate when restaurants let it set at the service counter until it's brewed to the point of bitterness) and with a smile. My companion enjoyed her coffee and said her piece of cake was very satisfactory. Even though Kafe Krave is the latest in a string of cafes in this spot, I hope they last because they definitely deserve to.

I love this cafe. It is literally the best part of the shopping center…read more They first opened as a hole in the wall a decade ago, which I really enjoyed, I got to feel super trendy as a teen. This cafe is the reason I'm a coffee snob. The owner is the barista (most of the time) and is so incredibly passionate about coffee. Large coffees have a free, optional 3rd shot of coffee, and alternative or specialty milks are also free. Personally, I appreciate an owner that wants all their customers to enjoy their coffee more than they want the extra 30 cents. The lactose intolerant are truly welcome here. It's not even the cheap faux-milks, either. Since it's small beginnings it has grown a lot. The most impressive is the pizza oven, which is really opened up the kitchen to make some really delicious breakfast foods. These guys do a classic breakfast menu, so if you want an eggs benedict, this is your place. (Most of) the cakes may not be made on site, but they are brought in from somewhere that knows what they're about, and they are always fresh. 2shots started with 3 tables and have a dozen seats - and now they have an outdoor table area. I hate sitting outside, but this is an exception. The eating area has blinds, so wind and rain can be kept out, and of course a roof, which heaters for winter. To compliment this set up is a truly ludicrous amount of potted flowers around the edge - which keeps all the tables cool and insulated from the weather, and looks wonderful. Want good coffee? Go to 2shots.

I've never ventured to Brendale before. I'll admit I was sketchy on where exactly Brendale was. But with my trusty GPS in tow finding Cleanskin Coffee Co on Old South Pine Road was a breeze. It's an industrial area and Cleanskin will be on your right hand side. They do some great blends including their "coffee shop" blends of Saint and Sinner. Rhiannon S was right on the money. The front room is stark white and there's almost a "walking into a hospital" feeling too it all even down to the looking glass wall the separates the main retail room from the roasting room. To avoid looking like a deer in headlights like I did when I walked into Cleanskin, take these tips: + It is primarily a roasting house. It is actually pretty neat to sit and watch it all happen. Take a seat on one of the bar tables and drink up. There were a few people sitting and partaking in a bit of a co-working session when I arrived. + Know what you're there for. When I arrived I wasn't entirely sure what to expect and I think it showed as soon as I opened the door. I quickly ordered a cold press ice coffee (delicious - best in Brisbane. No joke) all while trying to take in my surroundings. You can buy a coffee, beans for home and other coffee-making paraphenalia. + If you don't know, ask. I must have looked like a right dingus when the too cool for school bearded barista wandered over to ask if I needed any help. I did and he quickly helped me select a bean that would suit both my Aeropress and stove top espresso thing-a-ma-jig. If you're wondering it was the No. 14 blend. As well as being first-class coffee roasters, these cool cats are keen on educating the masses too and rumour has it they'll be starting education nights soon. They already have barista courses running (one day sessions, max four students) My only disappointment? When buying your beans at Cleanskin they come in a glass bottle. It's super cute and for a packaging fiend like myself, I'll openly admit, it was just one of the many attractions to this brand for me. Plus, each time you bring your bottle back you get $1 off your purchase. But, as I had them ground it for me, I was taking home a brown sealed bag not a glass bottle. First world problems, I know.

WOW. I first heard of Cleanskin Coffee Co - a contract and private label coffee roastery - when I…read moresaw their signature blend of beans, Saint Espresso used at a number of cafes around Brisbane (Bowerbird in Wavell Heights, Park Bench Espresso in Bulimba). I was intrigued. Then I heard about then again, when I found out Hangar13 in Zillmere used their cleanskin beans - buying their beans to custom package as their own brand. I looked them up and discovered they weren't too far away from me on the north side of Brisbane. They are located in Brendale, which is near Strathpine and Carseldine. There is an espresso bar as well as the roastery. It's all very white and with the crazy brewing equipment that looks like chemistry beakers, it really looks like a cross between an Apple Store and a Chemistry lab. Come in and try one of their blends or single origins in either an espresso style (cappuccino, latte, flat white) or in a brewed style (aeropress, pourover). You can also buy the beans and various equipment for home. They are also starting to hold free educational events or Masterclasses on Thursday night at 7pm. I went to the first Masterclass last night - it was about the Pourover (what it is and the technique). This is a must for any coffee fanatic, and will help you make great coffee at home. The brewing techniques are all very easy and accessible to do at home. We all got to taste some of the coffees, and although we could then buy equipment, the guys weren't pushy at all. This is just a group of coffee lovers, wanting to share the wonderful world of coffee with everyone. Not a sales push. Cleanskin Coffee Co also have their own cold press coffee - bottled and sold for either $4 each or 6 for $20. If you are a fan of cold press coffee, you will be pleased at the taste and cost of these. They're much cheaper than most of the other cold press bottles available in Brisbane! I could ramble on for hours about this place, do yourself a favour and check it out. They're open on Saturdays and til 9pm on Thursday night too.

Couple that with great coffee and you have a relaxing, enjoyable meeting. The outdoor seating gets a nice breeze and the interior is simply decorated but with a warm and quirky style. The staff are friendly and take their time to prepare good quality food.

The queue was quick and the menu was large, and easy to read. The service was friendly and prompt, I like that. Once our order was placed we sat down. There was plenty of seating available despite being a busy little spot on a Saturday morning. I felt relaxed and at ease. Plenty of families around. Before we knew it our coffee arrived, followed by our food shortly afterwards. We both ordered avocado on toast with bacon. For what you got, very pricey! The bread was a little bit soggy and not crunchy which is what I was hoping for. However the avocado was thoroughly ripe, creamy, and the bacon was crunchy on the outsides, succulent in the middle. For drinks I ordered an iced latte. It was full bodied and flavoursome, a great ratio between milk, coffee, and ice. Nothing to complain about here! Well done Refueled Café, thumbs up!

Coffee heads and caffeine addicts - this is the shop for you. Grinders Coffee in Teneriffe…read moreliterally stocks everything you could ever dream of that is coffee related. I literally thought I had died and gone to heaven when I stumbled across this place. Positioned just off Commercial Road, this sleek, black building entices you in with the selection of cups you can spy through the windows. Oh, and the little cafe tucked away inside. This place stocks a massive array of blends - ranging from the signature Giancarlo blend through to a Rainforest Organic blend. To add that sweet hit to your morning coffee, they also sell an array of decadent syrups (hazelnut, chai and vanilla), aptly named 'Sinfully Delicious'. And of course, a range of Taboo hot chocolate powders. You can find industrial coffee machines, personal French presses, cups, saucers, spoons, grip handles, milk jugs and the list goes on in this wonderful store. But don't worry, if you get thirsty (which you will) the staff are more than happy to make you a coffee, or better yet, give you a crash course in coffee making.
