    Great venue, simple yet thoughtful menu, friendly and fast services. Had a simple scramble eggs with sautéed kale. Honest and tasty dish. Also had a turmeric latte and it was heavenly. Definitely the hidden gem in the neighbourhood

    Been here a few times and the food is always great. Priced fairly and comes out fast. Bakery goods on takeaway side are expensive but delicious. Service however is consistently poor with short tempered staff. Aside from that, definitely worth going.

    Visited Corner Store twice in the past week for coffee. Despite the cafe's pleasant atmosphere, I was disappointed by the complete lack of greeting from the staff on both occasions. No smiles or welcoming gestures. I value businesses that appreciate their customers, and this experience fell short. Regrettably, I'll be supporting establishments that make me feel more welcome.

    Korean bbq chicken with fried egg on top of kimchi pancake was the bomb!

    Love the railway sleepers in the garden and the citrus trees. Turmeric latte is always delicious and every item on the menu is attractive to my palate. I love the chorizo corn hash and friends have loved the brioche burger. Lovely place to spot dogs, too. Fantastic location at the western edge of Toowong. Parking not difficult and always fun to people watch especially if you're into tennis, as there are grass courts next door with veteran players coming in for coffee. Lovely mix of young and old patrons, feels like a community spot. They're often busy, and the layout is split level so service can be a little slower, but it suits the neighbourhood pace of the place, if I'm being candid.

    Great atmosphere. Mainly outdoor seating but there are fans and water misters. Cute little veggie garden in the back. Good service. Menu changes, but there's always something tasty to try.

    Totally disappointed with the food and service. I have made the booking over the phone 2 days before but the staff missed my booking. We are a group of 6 adults and 3 babies. The staff were not able to assist with the high chairs at all. The music was too loud. The food quality is average. They messed up my order with bacon instead of Chorizo. They removed the bacon but the bread became oily and hard. The staff was waiting at our table to clean our plate impatiently while we were still chatting at the table. I haven’t even finished my coffee! I won’t recommend having lunch at this restaurant.

    It’s not often I get flavour coming through from the bread in large cafe meals. But… the flavour in this huge singular slice was certainly appreciable. If you have a big enough plate I reckon one solid slice works really well for a knife and fork breakfast. The remarkable flavour on the first bite of this meal also extended fresh saucy herbs and the eggs. They were cheesy, but not to the point where they felt heavy. The coffee - on this occasion iced - was also very good. On the pricer end for the food, but it can also be justified by the wonderful space. Huge variety, I’d say even with the seasons, personality, plenty of natural light and good airflow. Perhaps not super cosy but there is a luscious green outlook over a huge veggie garden. Service was quick and accommodating. Would return.

    We went there for breakfast. The quality of the meals were somewhat mixed. The Strapatsada was nice. The mushrooms were rather very soft and watery, they could have been cooked for another couple of minute. The corned beef was okayish. If you happen to go there on a sunny summer day, try to sit at one of the tables in the inner side of the deck, as it can be quite hot at the tables close to the garden.

    My late mother loved a hamburger and milkshake. These are not difficult to find menu items and we could have gone to a great many places, but I took her to Corner Store Cafe for the last meal she would have in Brisbane because the burger is excellent, as in last meal excellent, and the milkshake sweet and robust. The remainder of the menu is delicious and - importantly - the long black coffee is hot, crema heavy and rewarding.

    Very poor service today . I was beginning to think we were invisible. Had to call the waitress over to place our order and clear the table after waiting more than long enough. She took the plates away but didn’t come back for coffee cups and the second coffee I ordered didn’t arrive. My fafafel salad was tasty.

    Had a late lunch here with the family recently. Service and food were great. On a hot day, it tends to get a bit warm out under the covered deck. Great find!!

    Very busy local café with a large covered outdoor seating area. Fast and friendly staff, wide range of meal and snack options. The coffee is good and the atmosphere buzzing. There is on street parking but this is a busy area so may have to hunt for a spot.

    While driving around Brisbane to watch the kids play sport it’s fun to look up and discover cafe’s, it’s risky and often disappointing but it was not here, this cafe is filled with happy staff always a good sign in the end their happiness is what we are served , the right tension between funky and simple , good pure crusty breads and produce , coffee that slides down the mug leaving its quality patterning the sides , in a work where Uber has destroyed the meaning of a 5 star rating this cafe deserves 6 stars

    Great coffee and delicious brunch in a bright, airy, relaxed vibe. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Walked in on a busy Sunday brunch and didn't have to wait long for a table for 2, but would recommend booking for larger tables as this place is popular!

  • 5/5 Allan M. 9 months ago on Google
    Really good food, with a menu that's a bit different. Nice buzz to the place. Quite accommodating, which is impressive given how busy this place can get (wait times and wait lists are common as this place is popular - and for good reason)

  • 5/5 Lachlan S. 11 months ago on Google
    Stopped for lunch with the partner and 3 kids, 10, 8, 6. Seated in the outdoor area. Nice atmosphere, not too loud, and was fairly busy, half capacity, maybe. Coffee, table service and food was good. Kids had a quick look in the herb garden out the back while we waited about 10-15 mins for food.

  • 5/5 Ronald B. 10 months ago on Google
    Fabulous place. Well presented and delicious meal at a very reasonable price. Very busy but still receiving attentive service. If I was going to find a fault - It was very noisy,

  • 5/5 Pedro P. 2 years ago on Google
    Really enjoy coming here. Been a couple times. Staff are always upbeat - even when they're inundated. Great menu with plant based options. A fee nice spots in the sun to sit as well.

  • 4/5 Bill S. 1 year ago on Google
    The coffee is now excellent and a treat. The range of food is not amazing but you'll find something that suits you. Nothing leapt out as exciting for my committed meat palate and I was a little disappointed with my selection. The service is friendly and patient. It's pricey for what it is but suits the neighborhood.

  • 5/5 D. L. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful cafe in Toowong. Was a great menu with plenty of range and covered all the bases you'd like to see. Chose the soup of the day, being a French onion w chive soup with a cheese toastie. The soup was sublime so it was a great choice and the cheese toastie really worked a treat on a cooler morning. Service was friendly and despite being busy, the food and coffee came out quickly. Can see why it's such a prevalent and successful cafe.

    Had an enjoyable brunch here, it's got a good buzz and tasty food! Would come again. Ordered a sweet and savory dish to share between three people. It was enough with coffees around

  • 5/5 Jess B. 1 year ago on Google
    Saw a lovely pair of girls with the most adorable dog! He was so sweet and really made my day much better just by seeing how great they take care of their dog and absolutely loved seeing how inclusive the staff were and how happy it made everyone to have such a sweet little dog around. I’m always worried to take my dogs places as a lot of places aren’t dog friendly. So refreshing to find a place that ACTUALLY is dog friendly and even bought water for the dog as it was hot and humid and no dog should go without water in that temperature. Amazing to see. Of course the food was amazing as always and the atmosphere as well. Staff were friendly and accomodating to everyone! Will 100% be recommending this place to all my friends who own dogs and anyone who needs a nice cafe to go to!

  • 4/5 Kezia W. 3 years ago on Google
    Recommended by one of my friend. The food is awesome and unique. We tried the Israelic salad (hope I got the name correct) and the Fish of the day - Baked Salmon. One of my friends also tried the pulled-pork but he felt it is a bit hard to chew. We also tried their smoothies, and ice chocolate is delicious. Definitely will go there again.
