    Apart from giving me PTSD about my Mum's parenting style, this place is great. Friendly staff, great coffee & yum variable sweet things. I also enjoy looking at their stuff for sale despite barely buying any of it. But it is worth buying.

    Wow what a divine little establishment! Hand sanitiser on arrival. Quirky little menu with still plenty on offer. Iced latte was just was needed after a long run! Tried their lemon curd on bagels and nearly fell off my seat it was that delicious. I was able to purchase some to take home as well! Tap and go facilities, welcoming and accommodating staff. Food and drinks were served fresh and fast.

    Best coffee in Brisbane... Probably Australia. I've been going to TYS for years now and in all that time, I've never had a bad coffee or received bad service. They take their coffee very seriously here. Food wise it is simple, no big meals available - although on a Thursday night they do have a couple of food trucks come by.

    I love popping into TYS for drinks & treats. Absolutely love their range of hot and cold drinks. When I'm health conscious it's nice to have a non sugary warm drink option! And when I'm not health conscious great to have tempting treats! I love that they are so conscious about providing each person a positive customer experience even though they can get quite busy at times. It's amazing to see how much love and attention Anna and her team put into running this beautiful coffee shop whilst caring for the environment and community that surrounds them. Thank you ☺️💞

    A warm and welcoming atmosphere with a genuinely kind and extremely knowledgeable team and management running the show! Absolutely pumping with people when we went through. The sign of a great place that people want to be a part of. Be patient and kind! As you will receive nothing short of the greatest coffee/tea experience in the city. Thankyou for the wonderful tea! And for your many lactose free options of milk. The art on my wife's coffee was second to none. We will be back!

    Little boutique cafe, where staff do their best to contribute to an awesome experience for all patrons. I love how they almost always remember my preferences for beverages. Plus there is always an extra shot of love added to the coffee.

  • 5/5 Jackson K. 4 years ago on Google
    This new cafe is super cute and relaxing. The atmosphere is perfect for catching up with new and old friends. Can’t wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Jade-lea 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best little gems on Northside. The staff are so lovely and the coffee is amazing. Told You So has been a weekly ritual since we discovered them! They’re one of our favs. The team are so welcoming, the vibe is on point and the service is 10/10! We love you guys!

    Coffee was horrible. Chia on macadamia milk was not pleasant.

  • 5/5 Kerry B. 4 years ago on Google
    Our Favourite coffee shop in North Lakes! The whole team there are so friendly and welcoming. All their Barista skills are on point, consistently great coffee. TYS crew are all very involved in our community and often hold events to support local People & Businesses. With COVID 19 they have a great set up put into place for everyone’s protection. also a fantastic little pop up corner store with lots of goodies to purchase to help their local suppliers and their customers alike. Thanks Told You So Team for keeping the coffees flowing and keeping me and everyone else sane in these crazy times.

    I absolutely love coming here! No matter the weather, customer service is always incredible. Although I miss the lemon curd, the chai always make my day better! Can't wait for my weekly breakfast <3

  • 5/5 Kikoprincess L. 3 years ago on Google
    I was drawn to this place cos of the name. Such a friendly local joint, smiles all round. Great coffee and drink suggestions and lots of gifts to walk out with

  • 5/5 Rhana B. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing proper Chai and lovely service. Always a crowd, you know that's good coffee

  • 5/5 Eliza S. 2 years ago on Google
    The BEST coffee on the north side. Extremely friendly service and cute little bits and pieces for sale. If you're contemplating trying them out...DO IT, you won't regret it one bit :)

  • 5/5 Tony 1 year ago on Google
    Always a great place to go for coffee and other hot drinks. Consistently good at everything they do.

  • 5/5 Sean M. 1 year ago on Google
    This has become our new local. Their coffee is always on point. Our dog loves the puppychinos here too

  • 4/5 Lizzette A. 10 months ago on Google
    They have great coffee and service is superb. The place is really nice too and parking is easy enough. There is not a lot of food choices but if you love bagels and crumpets then you should be set. Oohh they've got desserts too! Cookies, brownies cupcakes..yum

  • 1/5 Ann m. 1 year ago on Google
    Was new to the area at the time was about a couple of years ago now. I still remember walking through here looking for the place I had found on Groupon lol I did politely ask counter lady if i could use my coupon here and honestly the way she said "well not at my cafe" was honestly so degrading I felt so embarrassed and just wanted to hide. Place was cute but I must of gone through on the wrong day cause it was like a student hangout or something people chatting and studying didn't feel very diverse and just had straight too good for you vibes.

  • 5/5 Adam L. 11 months ago on Google
    The very best coffee around, you;ve got to try it.....then I get to say 'told you so' - also, their ever changing little treats are awesome.

  • 5/5 Robert C. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing coffee shop. They do coffee and they do it well. The team is welcoming and friendly.

  • 5/5 Peter K. 9 months ago on Google
    Great spot for an early morning coffee and catch-up. Food choices are limited compared to other cafes but staff are always friendly and happy to accommodate large groups. Cheers guys.

  • 1/5 Hidden In Plain S. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly, don’t bother. The coffee is average at best, they don’t have a large, just small and medium sizes. Staff seem to be a bit dead. Any of the local coffee places in the surrounding area are much better.

  • 5/5 becky j. 6 months ago on Google
    After 12 months of getting coffee at my local every day and ordering the same thing from the same 2 people each time, they still don't know my order or anything else. I walk into Told you so after just a few times and they know my name and ask me if I'm just having my usual (which they already know!) This is what makes people loyal to a brand! It helps that they also have amazing coffee! 👏

  • 5/5 Broc H. 6 months ago on Google
    Started with a long wait for an ice latte. But boy was it worth the wait. With their "signature cold brew" certainly gives you a buzz and is smooth and creamy. Will be back

  • 5/5 Cavell C. 3 years ago on Google
    I wish I could say I told you, so here is my chance! Located 30 minutes from me this team of coffee masters / the bean guru / coffeexperts will deliver you a delicious cup of roasted goodness in a devine cup I can only describe as a vessel of mothers nature. Told you so will give you a cup on the go or relax, enjoy and soak up the bustling vibe they've created. Coffee, treats, plants and the best customer service you'll find this side of Brisbane CBD the team is worth a visit. PRO TIP: Coffee is designed to enjoy whilst you relax. Take your favourite person (or people) and remember that life is about the experiences not just the amazing Brew you'll have whilst I told you so.

    Cool little coffee shop located in an interesting shopping block. Tried flat white with oat milk as recommended. Very interesting and unique coffee flavor. It certainly stood out in my coffee hunting experiences across Brisbane.

  • 5/5 Lou N. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing chai! Always busy but worth the wait

  • 5/5 Hannah m. 3 years ago on Google
    love love love this place! The coffee and crumpets here are just amazing! would highly recommend to anyone

  • 3/5 Poiter t. 3 years ago on Google
    would've been 5 star but the coffee and hot chocolate we got was average but the bagel was pretty awesome and the customer service was great

  • 5/5 Mell S. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this coffee shop, always great service and delicious coffee. I highly recommend the mocha, best I've ever had.

  • 5/5 Marta O. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place! Small menu but with amazing items sourced from all over. Had an international woman's day China pudding (vegan, dairy free, gluten free) and beautiful macadamia milk hot chocolate, single origin - taste similar to a chocolate Earl Grey, really interesting. Lots of parking around. Defo will be back!

  • 5/5 Brianna M. 4 years ago on Google
    Told You So is such a great little coffee shop. There’s a real sense of community there. The whole team are super lovely, and of course couldn’t forget to mention their amazing coffee! Also the shop fit out and decor is super Insta-worthy!

  • 5/5 Catherine A. 6 years ago on Google
    My favourite place in Brisbane! The coffee is consistently fantastic, and the service is flawless. Even when crazy-busy all the staff take the time to make your experience a delight. I think I've had just about everything on offer here, and it's a testament to the owner that the selection is all top-notch and locally sourced. Amazing bagels and sweet treats, and a great range of cold drinks. (Iced chai and house soda are so good!)

  • 5/5 Dan S. 6 years ago on Google
    Whether you consider yourself something of a coffee buff, or looking for that new experience. Perhaps your quite particular about how your coffee is prepared, where it comes from? Who grew it how its roasted. Or, maybe like me, you just enjoy a fine cup of coffee... whatever your angle this place should be on your to-to list. The Coffee is exceptional and prepared to the highest standard, staff are friendly and helpful, and appear to have a genuine passion for all the intricacies of coffee, coffee making gear etc. Bright well lit unassuming premises with view to street and nearby park. Plenty of off street parking. The light healthy options are all hand-picked specialty products and taste awesome. Thursday evening food truck nights are something of an event, lots of families, kids, dogs etc.Great atmosphere. At the end of the day its all about the coffee and really its quite an experience.

    Avarage coffee in the area. Nice cupcakes though.

  • 5/5 James P. 3 years ago on Google
    We are from out of town and looking for breakfast/coffee combo. Sadly they didn’t have a breakfast we were looking for. We all know it not good business to send your potential customers to the competition down the road. The girls at the counter were super helpful and friendly. We will be back to this lovely cafe. Great customer service.

    I own a small coffee shop and I am so glad that my shop is no where near Told You So because they would have all my customers in a heart beat!! 😂 I always look forward to stopping in when I'm in the area. Great coffee, wonderful staff and the small selection of food is on point! These guys really know their stuff!

👍 Very good lunch at Crave Cafe. Must admit, pleasantly surprised on the quality. Had the steak sandwich and one of the best I've had. Chips were fresh and clean, and yum Mayo comes with. Nice atmosphere for a cheeky lunch during the week. Beer on tap crisp and fresh. It's definitely worth a visit. E...
