    abode cafe, located in the peaceful green courtyard at Hillsdon Road Centre.  24 - 30 Hillsdon Road.

    This is a new Cafe in our local Taringa shops. And what a great little place it is. Located in the Courtyard area behind the Corner Store, you are able to enjoy the peaceful green setting with a nice aspect up to Mt Cootha. The coffee is terrific, Black Sheep beans and a skilled Barista means a really lovely espresso. And I so love the beautiful aubergine coloured cups! Abode is really really new and the plans are to serve food in 2014. At the moment freshly baked on site cakes and slices are served. And I seriously have to recommend the Sour Cream and Pear Cake - YUMMO! A range of made on site Jam's and Relishes are available too. Can't wait to see the food offerings in the New Year. So if you are keen to find a nice quiet spot, with quality espresso, great food and easy parking.....then find your way down to Hillsdon Road and Goldsbrough Road. It's a little hidden gem of a place. Currently trading every day 7am till 3pm.

    A hidden little gem of a place that has great coffee and food. The team at Abode are super friendly and even remember your regular favourite coffee. Your four legged friends are also welcome.

    Really fresh takes on classic brunch. I had scrambled eggs with capsicum jam on gluten free bread that had been 'buttered' with home made herbed labna. My husband said his mince on toast was so good he wants to go again tomorrow. My chai latte was perfect too. Really great service, genuine smiles, old school Cat Stevens playing in the background makes this place somewhere you will want to hurry back to.

I've eaten outside twice and even just sitting in the area eating the food takes me away like I'm on holiday. You're surrounded by greenery and ugh the decor is very LA/Balinese vibes - it's really pretty. They make great drinks both smoothies& mocktails at breakfast time ;). They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner, & coffee and cakes from Jocelyn's Provisions ! Biggest yass ever because JP cakes are so yum. Table service and wait staff are good - they do get very busy though especially on weekends I have noticed. I have never noticed irritability or rudeness at all, despite how busy they get the staff always appear professional and calm. It is more $$ but the food and drinks is 5/5 quality. Street Parking is available both on the main road and just in the side streets - it's a short walk to score free parking. I already know this is one of my go to places for brunch with my friends if I feel like having a fancy brunch ohohoho!

Yet here I sat in The Single Guys, conversations echoing from each corner of the cafe that was full of people enjoying coffees and ordering from a wholesome menu with choices like a blueberry bagel with vanilla ricotta and honey, or swiss brown mushrooms, fetta, asparagus with fig vincotto on sourdough. Staff did a beautiful dance from table to table in their unofficial uniforms of a white tee, jeans and black cons. All complimented by their dark grey aprons against the navy and white walls of this unassuming but ready to be recognised cafe. From Moggill Road you might miss it so keep an eye out for their mascot, a lone deer on a sign. One of the owners tell me the stag is a play on the image being a symbol of bachelor life, although their name is more of an ode to their house blend being a combination of single origin beans. Despite the clean and hipsterific interior, the crowd here is mixed: young and old alike. It's a great hub of activity. I ordered the mushroom toastie which was the perfect breakfast or light lunch, and on a hot Summers day their Iced V60 black coffee was the deliciously mellow drink I needed to befriend on a day like today. And the flat white was perfection in a white china cup.

I recently moved from Indooroopilly but in the 6 months or so from the opening of NKB Express to when I moved, this was a regular choice for my friends and I. The interior is very authentic of the classic American diner from the counter, to the booth seating and the presentation of the meals. It is very accessible as it is just across the road from the Indooroopilly train station. Parking in the centre can be a bit of a challenge however. The meals are amazing! If you are in the mood for a serious burger, I highly recommend this place. They are filling and tasty. My favourite was the mushroom wagyu beef burger which as I recall was called the 'Central Park' or something similar. The chocolate shake was also a solid staple of mine. Prices are standard and they also do takeaway. It is definitely worth dining in for the full experience. It can get quite busy so avoid peak meal times or be prepared to wait for a table. If you are a fan of modern gourmet food and the inner-City lifestyle and you have not been to NKB Express, this should be your next stop! I'll be back.

Worth checking out the little sister of Nantucket at Indooroopilly.

The baristas are exceptionally skilled, and there is a selection of roasts to choose from. While I normally like my coffee black, something that isn't too hard to make, I've had a few flat whites from Penny which have been excellent. A friend of mine asked if they're able to pull a piccolo using soy milk, without the milk splitting. Despite indicating that the barista don't need to try if they haven't made one before, they produced one (after two failed attempts) by slowly adjusting the extraction to the point where they could add a shot to soy milk without producing soy cheese. Doing this despite explicitly not needing to is the sort of above and beyond that earns long-term customers. The food is similarly stellar. The avo on sourdough may at first blush seem like a pricier version of what everyone else is doing. The flavours in Penny's version are, however, inventive and balanced to a point I haven't had elsewhere. There's a nice balance between the feta, dukkah and pomegranate where you can taste all of them without one overpowering the other. The vegetabowl is similarly great. There's just enough of each ingredient that you can taste them, without the dish being overpowered by one note. Penny's interior makes maximal use of the space. There are comfortably sized tables out front and inside, and some bar seating by the espresso machine. The best seats in the house, though, are out back, and include a few longer tables. The staff at Penny are attentive, friendly and great at pulling a coffee and making food.

    What a gem! Penny is the best cafe in the area by far. It is rare to find a cafe that provides an…read moreexcellent choice of coffee (try the home brew) and delicious breakfast. The staff is friendly

    Place of Stones, named after the Aboriginal meaning of the suburb Taringa, is a local cheap and…read morecheerful Italian restaurant. The thing about Place of Stones is that it is as Italian as a deep dish Pizza. It resembles the original Italian dish, but the ingredients betray the history and specificity of the original dish. In the case of Place of Stones, the food is good enough to forgive them for their liberal use of Greek flavours, sweet chilli sauce and avocado, and for the surprising lack of a single risotto from the menu. The banquet, which I had, consists of a selection of entrées, salads, pizzas and pastas. There is no dessert, but they're happy to sell these on top as required. The entrée calzoni, filled with sweet chilli and sour cream, is decidendly un-Italian, but the chewiness of the dough hits that sweet spot that you want from Italian dough that you stop caring about the ingredients. The mediterranian salad is really just a Greek salad with lettuce, and could have done with a little more imagination (some fresh or dried oregano wouldn't have hurt either). For the mains there was selection of pizzas and pastas. The promise of the banquet, that nobody would leave hungry, is certainly one they aim to keep. The pastas were cooked excellently, and the pizza dough was perfectly thin and chewy, something lacking from most suburban pizzerias. The duck pizza, which isn't mentioned in their online menu, reaffirms my view that duck has no place on pizza. It tends to be too tough and chewy, but in this case it was executed well enough to not be a problem, or to detract from the pizza itself. Place of Stones, not true to the traditional Italian ideas of pizza and pasta, but executed well enough that you won't care.
