"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain," then come to the Wilderness bar .... and Escape. No seriously, if you're NOT into SWEET, then Dana's famed ICED COFFEE is the thing for you. What it is: Delightful Coffee, ice cold, strong, white. What it is NOT - not sweet, nor the bitter bite, and :o NO ICE! Very smooth. It's like an iced Flat White, it is seriously THE. ONLY. PLACE in the world where you'll experience this connoisseur Cold Brew Coffee. From now on I'm INSISTING on a "Dana" wherever I order iced coffee. Even if I have to teach every single coffee shop how to get it right. GO ON - get a DANA, you want it ;)

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.

Alfina's is a quaint little suburban coffee shop on Brisbane's North side. It is located in a…read moresmall group of shops away from the hustle and bustle of the CBD. This little shop is so sweet - as soon as you enter the smell of roasting coffee beans hits your nose and excites your senses! The little glass service cabinet is always filled with beautifully decorated cakes and slices and the staff are always pleasant. It's a great place to catch up with friends and grab a bite to eat. If you're not into cake and coffee (ahhh.. isn't everybody) Alfina's have a few light lunch options available including a variety of salads, mixed sandwiches, quiche and toasted foccacias. I have only ever had coffee here as I am almost always on a diet when I visit and I swear I gain a kg just looking at these cakes! As if their delicious cakes and coffee weren't enough - they also sell gorgeous little giftware's like homemade jewellery and the like. In 2009 Alfina's won the Small Business Achievers Award and were nominated again in 2010. Aside from the standard coffee shop service they host high teas, private functions and make speciality cakes to order! If you are on the North side of Brisbane, definitely recommend checking it out.

I would recommend paying her a visit.

Back to our old Sunday brunch place for Waffles this morning after a long hiatus…read more As always the waffles were delicious, Who doesn't love Waffles, ice-cream, strawberries, banana and cream with warm maple syrup on the side ! Although today they scandalously ran out of bananas but we got extra strawberries so I really wasn't too upset. And you cant have Waffles with out coffee, there coffee is always smooth and mild, I prefer a stronger coffee and know that next time i will be asking for an extra shot of coffee. But it was an awfully pretty coffee with some latte art on top, a lady with long flowing hair, which was kinda cool and very different from the usual leaves and hearts I see. Service is a bit hit and miss here, as is there EFTPOS connection. The young lady who started serving us today (and was dressed to suit the theme of the store, so cute) was absolutley lovely, but as the EFTPOS machine crashed her manager came out and tried to fix it, and decided that yelling to the staff in the back right in my face was appropriate, not impressed. But dont let the potential bad service deter, the food is worth it! And while you are eating, whether out on the porch or inside in the very retro booths, don't forget to look at all the music memorabilla and knick knacks on the walls and shelves from lots of different decades. Let me know if you spot the dancing coke can which i believe is circa 1980's and the wierd 'Modern Man" poster. And after you have had your fill go wandering the markets!

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.
