    This place used to be amazing under the previous management, we had come here for three years and loved it. However our recent experience under new management - 45 minutes wait (people but not overly busy), small portions and increased prices. The quality has also gone downhill. They have also removed a lot of menu items (particularly the old vegetarian brekki burger and corn fritters). Quite a shame as it used to be our favourite place :( won’t be returning anymore.

    TL;DR - a standard cafe experience, a bit lacking in character but no major things to be concerned about. My experience - Arrived Sunday morning around 10AM. One of the few places in coorparoo square that is open around this time. Was able to be seated immediately. I like the music being played. We got the veggie burger, it came with three mushroom slices, two halloumi pieces, spinach, and two hash brown pieces. It was as expected - didn’t blow us away just did the job. We also got the matcha latte, which was more similar to homemade matcha lattes (just warm milk, water, with matcha still feeling quite powdery) verse matcha lattes I’ve had at other places. The food did its job, staff did their job. Would be a nice place to bring older families I imagine. If you’re looking for something more unique or with a bit more flair, cafes nearby like lady marmalade, smug fig, even cafe 63 are nearby and show a bit more personality. However if you are in the square and just looking for something simple and “wanting to know what you’re getting” then this place won’t disappoint. Am willing to hold out that their lunch specials might be where they shine, and would definitely come back to try them!

    OK All is forgiven. First impressions can be misleading. It started like this: Was I too early for these guys? It was after 8am on a Saturday morning I walked in, was greeted, sat down and given a menu Then I was ignored for 5 minutes even though there were only 3 other people in the café. I gave them another few minutes and then I bolted. The menu looks ok but I won't die of starvation wondering. Feb 2023: New staff including an excellent waitress I wanted to give Degani another try and got a much better result. I had a lunch of Chicken Parma and it was pretty good (and huge) and so was the helping of well-cooked chips. The side salad was better than the often token salad you get served. I ordered a chai latte and it was also mighty fine. I will try again soon targeting coffee and possibly upgrade my rating because as Meatloaf says: 2 out of 3 ain't bad. April 2023. New staff again. Back to table service i had a breakfast burger - unusual with hollandaise sauce and wilted spinach plus egg, bacon and hash brown Not bad but a once only. First long black was excellent, 2nd was watery. Hmm how to rate this place?. OK 3 stars, a real mixed bag August 2023 It's getting better and better. Coffee was good and the specials are a bargain $10 for the brekkie specials and $15 for the chicken schnitzels and pasta. And they are not shabby.

    Always a good option for quick coffee and nice food. The new menu looks really good too. *Had to update this review: this place is one of my absolute favorites. The staff are friendly and well trained, which means they are fast, attentive, and accommodating without being intrusive. They create such a nice and comfortable space to catch up with friends and relax with great food and coffee.

    Good coffee and brunch option located in a new Coorparoo residential and shopping development. Fast and friendly service at a reasonable cost. Choice or indoor or outdoor seating. Outdoor seating with some shading, overlooking lawn and not too close to traffic. Good option for a drink or snack while supermarket shopping.

    I ordered on of the lunch specials. Was told to wait 20mins I went in 30mins later and didn’t get an update on how much longer my food I ordered by the cashiers and had to check with one of the other servers. I got served over cooked chicken I could only eat the chip.

    Food is always delicious, service is not that great! Some customer service training would do the staff and shift manager some good!

    Everything we ordered was 10/10. The chips are particularly crunchy, which is definitelt a plus. There is indoor and outdoor seating so we were able to bring our dog. The lemon meringue pie is a particular favourite of mine. Absolutely no complaints. They have some vegetarian options, as well as a range of things for different tastes.

    Having had poor food and slow service at this cafe previously, I had decided to always avoid this place. However, I was in the area and thought I'd give it one more go. WRONG CHOICE! I waited well over 15 mins for my cup of coffee and at least another 15 mins for the muffin that was supposed to come with the coffee. (I had enquired about the muffin previously when the coffee came and was told that it was "still coming" !) What an extremely rude young woman (no lady) who snarled at me in a loud voice "I"m serving other customers" - when I approached at the counter in a last bid to follow up this absent muffin. I had not been impolite - just assertive- and had excused myself to move past other customers. Yes, she was serving other customers but was giving me no consideration for my time. I too, was a customer with a prior order that was running very late. An apology should have been offered, but was not expected after the outburst from her, and of course, not forthcoming. I was astounded at this appalling lack of professionalism. This has borne out my other experiences here - lack of trained staff in courtesy and efficiency. Lack of staff full stop, which contributed to today's abysmal service. This situation could have been managed much better by an experienced and considerate staff member. The food here is also of a sub-optimal standard and I wouldn't waste my money there again. There are far better choices in the Coorparoo Square centre.

    We had breakfast this morning and loved it. A good coffee also. Staff were fantastic (No I'm not a friend or relative). We really enjoyed the big brekkie. Thanks everyone there at 8am today.

  • 5/5 Daniel B. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a lunch special here and for the price was very good, read a few reviews prior to posting and it seems the staff must have all changed as I found every staff member friendly and helpful! 5 stars will be back and also recommend!.......can I also say if anyone has 10 minutes read "markreviews" the Guy is racist and hates everyone please report and get him taken off the web! It's 2019 people and Australia! If you are Indian Italy and in the hospitality industry maybe avoid his reviews

    Best breakfast this side of the equator. Great fast service. Friendly and helpful staff. Peaceful place to sit and delicious food. Even got some free 16hr slow cooked brisket because the manager asked me to try it and give feedback. Legend.

    We had breakfast. Great atmosphere. Good seating. Indoor or outdoor seating available. Reasonably priced.

  • 5/5 Tiana C. 4 years ago on Google
    As I live nearby I come and visit Degani semi-regularly while out doing groceries etc. I try not to splurge on eating out much but actually have to stop myself from coming here more often — the times I’ve come here for breakfast, lunch, dinner etc everything has been very tasty and reasonably priced! Decor is very cozy and comfortable. Staff can be hit or miss occasionally in terms of attentiveness but are always friendly so I don’t mind this. Recommend the Degani stack, frappes and the steak dinner special!! Do note, Google says Degani closes at 9pm but the Coorparoo Square website says 8.30pm — I’m not sure which is correct but if you’re coming in for dinner I would order no later than 8pm or so as they do start to pack up around 8.15 or so :)

    The place are very delicious for breakfast It is tidy and beautiful Service is excellent and the waiters was so friendly.

  • 1/5 Melissa I. 1 year ago on Google
    Walked in, walked out. Large platter of scones sitting uncovered on the front counter. Scones were right under the noses and mouths of customers paying for their food!! Totally gross, pitiful hygiene and infection control standards. Not eating there!

  • 1/5 Colin M. 7 months ago on Google
    Poor quality coffee and almond croissant I ordered was not fresh. Smelly and simply not eatable

  • 5/5 Zia M. 1 year ago on Google
    I love it here, my go to of a morning being a resident of Coorparoo square. Friendly service, beautiful product and great atmosphere. The only thing would love to see from here is a designated area to wait for takeaway coffee. There is a window beside the coffee machine that could easily be utilised for customers to wait outside and get there coffee instead to crowding around the front counter. But over it’s a great place.

  • 5/5 ray d. 5 months ago on Google
    Wonderful place to catch up with family for a delicious and very wholesome breakfast. Prices were very reasonable and service was friendly and efficient 😀 Great coffee. We will definitely be back soon 🔜

  • 5/5 Mieke B. 1 year ago on Google
    First visit this morning but certainly won't be our last! We both had the Eggs Bene. Generous serving of salmon on one and tasty bacon on the other. Hollandaise sauce was on point and the sour dough was delicious also. Paired with excellent coffee, a great location and friendly and attentive staff. Fabulous way to start the week end.

  • 1/5 Mandy B. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff at Degani Coorparoo are rude! One staff member in particular has made it her job to be particularly unpleasant to deal with. We had a wonderful arrangement for many months with the owner, but after an incident with the staff member in question, we made alternative weekly breakfast arrangements. We returned this morning hoping for a positive experience, but sadly it was worse than before!!! When I asked to speak to the staff member, she hid away claiming that she couldn’t talk to me. WE WILL NOT BE BACK!

  • 1/5 Kim K. 9 months ago on Google
    worst ever chicken schnitzel! Worst lunch menu ever! all burnt. I tried to peel some burnt skin out( most of them) but found thin like paper chicken breast which tastes even stranger ever.. I could have complained to refund or changed it but I did not due to my lunch time is getting over and did not wanna argue with staff. I wasted my lunch time and my money. The other degani in Calamvale is Fantastic. I thought Cooparpoo would be good as well. I am so disappointed and dont recommend this place.

  • 4/5 Yingman L. 4 months ago on Google
    I recently visited this Cafe, and I was thoroughly impressed with both the food and coffee. I opted for a croissant paired with a mocha, I found the beverage rich, flavourful and delightfully chocolatey. Also, the croissant was a delectable treat. The service was friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I would highly recommend Degani coorparoo to anyone looking for a delicious meal, without hesitation.

    Nicely presented restaurant. We got takeaway. Staff were attentive & friendly. My mocha frappe was ok, but I couldn’t taste any coffee in it.

    Shout out to Simon on 27th Aug. He was one his own and did a top notch job ofdoing everything by himself. I worked in the catering business and was impressed by his organisation smiling helpful personality. Hang on to this young man. He is very good for your business. Barbara Kennedy.

  • 2/5 MSM M. 9 months ago on Google
    Can’t remember last time I waited so long for a coffee. This place used to be awesome with great service and amazing food. Not anymore. I saw my hot drinks on the bench getting cold while waiting. I thought well I can do some work on the laptop while I wait but guess what !? No Wifi as well as no knowledge of what an equal is (?) - At least give the barista a pen so they can mark the lids with sad faces … of disappointment 😢

  • 3/5 mitch k. 3 years ago on Google
    This place has a very nice ambience, perfect for a coffee on an evening. The waitress was very nice and welcoming and the background music was well-suited for a comfortable, cozy environment. Only two inconveniences for me: 1. As the night progressed the ambience changed as different music started to play. It was more like old-school upbeat top 100s. It was only small but it made the environment a bit off-putting. Maybe if there was a designated playlist for particular times? It felt as if someone was choosing the songs in the moment. 2. Although they offer coffee and they have a coffee machine, I'm positive that the one who served my coffee was not fully barista trained. The coffee art was very poor, there was little foam for the latte and the coffee tasted like I could have made it myself with instant coffee. It's a beautifully designed place but I think that it is catered more towards having a meal rather than a coffee.

  • 4/5 dustin w. 3 years ago on Google
    Pretty good cafe the staff are really friendly it's really nice atmosphere. The food's always good, and it's actually pretty reasonably priced. I just don't love the breads and stuff they use on their food that's all only criticism

  • 4/5 Jeremy K. 4 years ago on Google
    We had heard so much about Degani, a coffee chain store originating from Melbourne, so we decided to hit the place and have a taste of their food and drinks. We tried the Southern Fried Chicken Burger with Beer Batter Chips. The burger is made of crispy fried chicken, tomato, smashed avocado, and chipotle aioli on the bun. Filling as it was, the dish stopped short of exceptional. Of course, we had to try their much-touted hand-crafted coffee. The flat white and cold long black were decent and pungent, with a chocolate undertone. Also, Degani does offer $12 lunch specials from 11am to 3pm. You get to pick a choice of club sandwiches and chips, chicken schnitzels and chips, fish and chips, or calamari salad. So if the hunger pack starts kicking in, Degani can be a good place to go.

    Really tasty and decent size meals, quick service, although can we say it would of been good to sit on the entree longer. We sat outside with our small dog & enjoyed watching the hustle and bustle of the busy hub of coorparoo square go by.
