Café con Leche

Espresso bar

😠 If you have any kind of sympathy for the workers, avoid this place. Google Maps is not the best place to complain, I know, but since the boss Jonathan and Natalia did not want to make me a contract and thus pay me in cash, avoiding paying the state and not paying me with my rights. I keep waiting fo...

Coffee Jo

Cafe

👍👍 I was walking back from dropping my car off when I noticed this cool little coffee place, just on the corner of Deshon and Atherton Street. Quite minimalistic on the outside, I didn't expect to be so blown away with the colourful and character filled interior that awaited me. I'd arrived on day one!...

Deli Dakota

Sandwich shop

👍👍 Great coffee! Friendly staff. I am not from this part of town so I am not up with the go to places but found this in our search, we had a late AM coffee but lots of people eating in and out. Quick service too. Thank you :)

Edward Espresso & Kitchen

Cafe

👍👍 A beautiful full flavoursome brew made here. Very smooth with fruity notes & a chocolatey mouthfeel. Polite friendly staff. Looks like they just specialise in coffee , there is a few sweets in the cabinet. Not a lot of seating, but not really necessary as the coffee won't last long..it's too good

The Coffee Roaster

Coffee roasters

👍👍 Awesome food, awesome staff, and THE BEST coffee in town. Not only do they brew it perfectly, but they've got the freshest beans because they roast everything in house! How crazy is that? Most of the shops nearby are using their beans, so why not go to the source?

Quava Espresso

Espresso bar

😠 Worst experience of my life. Didn't even get to order as was told to "get out" by the rudest, angriest man ever!! Never going back. My friend and I assumed he was having a bad day. I can't believe the good reviews on this site. My friend and I are in our 70s and we are extremely offended. He sugges...

Grounds of Origin | Coffee Beans Delivered

👍👍 This is my local coffee shop and I keep coming back for a reason. The staff are incredibly friendly, the coffees always come out quick but most importantly the coffee is second to none. I love this place and cannot recommend enough!!! Always brings so much joy to my mornings coming here and I love r...

Coffee Mentality - South Brisbane

Espresso bar

👍 Mixed feelings here. The place is very simple, maximising the service of coffee without offering nothing extraordinary. Located next to hope st, which always offers interesting characters and in front of parmalat, which will add a beautiful soundtrack (by trucks) roaring pass every minute. This is p...

Bang Coffee Bar

Espresso bar

👍👍 Found this little cafe after some good reviews lead me here. This place is full of character, with the ambiance portraying an eclectic feel. While the menu is small, quality over quantity is sometimes better. The coffee had some great flavour, made to perfection. All this coupled with the beautiful...

Coffee Mentality Stones Corner

Espresso bar

👍👍 A hole in the wall style coffee place in Jeavons Lane at Stones Corner. One would think folks at Stones Corner only drink coffee and get their hair cut because the majority of the small businesses here serve as such. So maybe Coffee Mentality sets the tune with a name like this. Besides, you can si...

Hole-in-the-wall spot in a converted bomb shelter covered in vines for artisanal coffee and sweets.
