Right next to one of my favourite Thai places has opened this magnificent looking cafe. Organic…read moreeverything and full of simplistic design... it is a clean well presented friendly cafe with real plants! I had the mango smoothie. Let me tell you, it is worth every cent of the $7 bucks I paid for and that blueberry friend (sp?) muffin that was freshly baked I bought for $4 melted in my mouth as I drove to work at exactly 7:15am. 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.

I…read morelove how both the inside and outside areas of the restaurant have a totally different vibe from each other . 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!

I get food or coffee from here almost every weekend and they unlike other places consistently put out awesome coffee and great food. I don't normally review unless its because the place is bad but these guys are well over due for a 5 star rating from me. On the very very odd occasion i have been disappointed but i have the cafe to replace or fix anything i wasn't happy with. 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.

I am super delighted Em & Co has opened up in Oxley. I drive past it all the time on the way to…read morework and noticed they've just opened in the last couple of months. 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!

This suburban Mediterranean style cafe was a little out of the way to get to from the south side of…read moreBrisbane, but I've travelled further in search of little gems hidden in the suburbs. Thankfully, Samarco 2 did not disappoint. Their spaghetti marinara was packed with flavour and was chock full of plump prawns and fresh mussels. The rest of the meal was equally good - especially dessert but you can't really go wrong with crème brulee. My only concern is that it's very expensive for a suburban Italian cafe - entrees and salads are around $15 -$20 and the mains range from $20- $35. For those prices, I would probably prefer to go into the city where I could get equally excellent food at a nicer venue.

We happened to be driving around Midde Park to put flyers for our business up (turns out, there are…read moreno places with billboards anymore), and noticed this new swanky shopping centre which used to be the daggy middle park shopping centre. Where on earth did this pop up from... and we live around this area. It seems a little out of place considering the surrounds and the general middle park area. Samarco 2 stood out like a sore thumb on the corner outside of the main shopping centre itself. So we thought it's hot, let's sit down in this nice looking alfresco restaurant. Don't know if it was because it was in the middle of the day, or they were a waiter short... not only were we shocked at menu prices for the location, but the place was a bit posh looking we chickened out and didn't just walk away. Big mistake. We waited to be served, I had to get up to ask if there was table service or not, then our food took forever to come out... but when it eventually did, it was very yummy. I ordered the Mexican Beef Salad (wasn't this an Italian Restaurant?) and noticed there were Szechwan Duck Spring Rolls and Nasi Goreng on there as well.... wasn't it spelt Szechuan? What are they doing putting asian food on the menu with italian pastas... oh no not again with the fusion. So the food was nice, but very expensive and they confuse me with their menu a little, mixing the original italian cuisine with a hodge podge of others I find... somehow cheapens the posh looking place... also they should spell check the menu. Try it out, but it's a little weird.
