I like it fine too, though not a huge coffee drinker; will often have a tea. Rambling... Chiasso is roasted and blended in Capalaba and served at many cafes and eateries around the region, from Straddie to Mt Tambourine. I most recently had a cup at Chandler Markets. There's a special medium roast 'Redlands' blend, among others, and a richer 'Metro' blend for the true aficionado. Think I might buy a bag of the Redlands for starters...

The Merlo coffee was spot on, the decor fun and tropical, the food fresh and healthy, and the service friendly. I saw the chef fry the zucchini for my corn fritters with salmon and asparagus. No microwave heating up here! I want to come back from lunch and try the pulled pork wrap! 5 stars

The quiches are sublime - the filling is so delicate and light, while the pastry is so buttery and crispy. The best sausage roll you will ever have is their 3 little piggys - a virtual heart attack wrapped in flaky pastry. They also have a range of gluten free options and vegan meringues.

Service was prompt and friendly, always nice to chat. Prices reasonable. Food came out without much wait - the hand cut fries were recommended and did not disappoint with the home made aioli - also had pizza which was excellent ( but a bit pricey). Coffee is good - range of lactose free and almond milk. Overall really good.

The Vintage Apron caught my eye as soon as it opened some months before. I decided to go there for breakfast on a Sunday a while back (when my intention was just to go to Woolies and grab some milk), so I wasn't really dressed for an outing. The staff were friendly and we had our meals ordered and on the table within 20 mins. We were able to chat and relax without feeling rushed to leave and vacate, and combined with the good quality of food it made a nice end to a hectic week.

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.
