Have been here a few times. First visit I was extremely impressed with the paleo plate as it was packed full and the quality of ingredients was really good! On most recent visit I again ordered the paleo plate which has gone down in quality and was nowhere near as good and much smaller serving. My friend ordered the crushed avo on sourdough and this was thoroughly disappointing - thinnest smear of avocado and a couple of minuscule sprinkles of goats cheese. Hopefully this was an off day as my first visit was much better.
This is one of the many cafes that seem to cater to the working people of the Brisbane CBD, whether it be lunch, breakfast, or simply just some coffees. Like the rest of the city, once the workers have gone, the place pretty much shuts down (though you can still grab some dinner if you are early enough). I ended up coming in here for breakfast, and must admit that I was impressed with the service. They were even using their smart phones to take my order (something that I have yet to see done elsewhere and I live in Melbourne). I didn't even have to wait all that long for my food to come out. If there is one gripe that I had and that was the tea, the leaves weren't in a strainer so it ended up being a bit to strong.
