I'm always intrigued by the different customers I see each time I visit.

It makes for a gourmet deli without pretention and I like it.

Home to delicious gourmet burgers, scrumptious breakfasts, handmade salads and pastas and some of the best customer service around. They stock a great selection of sauces, cheeses and other gourmet goodies and also take orders for take home family pies that almost bump Yatala Pies off the top spot of the best pie in Brisbane list. Being just off MIlton Road, its a great place to stop in for a take away coffee and pick up a salad or sandwich on your way to work.

For locals and commuters you're in for a treat with fresh Genovese coffee being poured and an interesting and unsurprisingly quirky menu on offer. I had stopped in for breakfast and was greeted with choices including a Breakfast Salad (haloumi, leaves, dukkah egg, asparagus) and more standard options like avocado on toast. In the end I set my sights on the Breakfast Banana Split - fresh banana, berries (raspberries and strawberries), toasted museli, grated dark chocolate, toasted coconut and, frozen whipped banana). Served in a sundae glass it felt a lot more "naughty" and calorie-laden than it actually was and the frozen whipped banana (a great recipe with ridiculous ease) gives this a creamy sensation without the regret later in the day! Verdict: The coffee is consistent and for commuters stoping enroute to the train, this is key. The menu is cute and quirky and from my experience today backs it up with the goods. Four weeks in since opening, locals have clearly adopted this new kid on the block as their own and there's already customer / barista first-name-basis relationships in action. But, to be honest, it didn't blow me away. It's a great staple for locals but not for a trip to visit here alone.

I wish to preface my review by saying I know the owners so I'm somewhat biased but still doesn't change the fact that Low Road cranks out great food and awesome coffee out of a kitchen the size of a shoebox. These guys tell and serve it to you like it is. Order off the menu. Additions cost $, deal with it. Don't be on the phone when you order and don't bring you three wide pram and park in the middle of the main thoroughfare. If you are one person, sit at a table appropriately sized for your oneness. Coffee is Genovese and is consistently great. Food is tasty and reasonable portions for reasonable prices. There are often specials on the board so check those out.

I only happened to walk by as I was in the area for an appointment. The cafe itself used to be an old house, that the owners have renovated & turned into a gorgeous little cafe, with plenty of cozy seating indoors, as well as courtyard seating front of shop. The breakfast menu is only small, & basic with some Japanese inspired items, but there's all the breakfast regulars starting from $10, & the most being $16.50 for Eggs Benedict. I decided to try the Asian Omelette ($15) with mushrooms, nori, spinach, wasabi Mayo with some toast. It was simple & delicious. I loved the addition of the wasabi mayo. Yum. I also ordered a long macchiato from Toby's Estate Coffee. The coffee was excellent, & not bitter. Came right back to The ICHO Restaurant after my appointment for lunch to order their special of the day: Soft shell crab ($18) with tomato, cucumber, lettuce, topped with a fried egg, & a side of crunch chips & homemade aioli. Wow this was a massive serve! So yummy & the aioli was to die for. The lunch time menu from 11am to 3pm offers up a selection of salads, chicken & steak burgers, & lasagne. They also make fresh in house pies, cakes & have daily specials, so look out for those. The staff were so friendly & I love the fact that this cafe is in a quiet area. It's perfect for catch ups & long conversations. Paid Parking can be found on Browning street itself or surrounding streets, & the bus stops right out the front. Check them out at 2/27 Browning Street, West End.

We dined as a group of 5 on a Sunday morning and it couldn't have been more relaxed. Coffee orders were taken as menus were laid before us and we were given plenty of time to consider what we'd like to order as we natted away. Between us all we managed to sample key menu items including the avocado on toast, wilted greens with qunioa and a poached eggs and the exceptionally Summer fresh granola with fresh fruits. So, why not grab your bike and make the trek to Teneriffe this weekend!

Alimentari is also Deli which offers a great selection of cheese, cold meats and an array of other delicacies you expect from a gourmet shop like this one. The service for the past 5 or 6 times I have been here (all during peak periods) has been seamless, and although there isn't table service and you must order at the counter, soon after you sit down you will have your beverage and not too long after that your meal. The 'Alimentari' breakfast seems a popular choice but for almost $20 I would appreciate more than just excess servings of bacon, I think I would prefer to see another egg added to the mix or some more vegetables. The coffee is great and the service is fast, give it a whirl, you won't be disappointed.

Initially I thought it was just a deli, but was delighted to see a menu and a coffee machine! I ordered a ham and cheese croissant and a coffee and sat down on one of the limited tables (it must be busy on weekday mornings with all the suits getting a fix before work). There wasn't a long wait before my breakfast was on my table, but in the mean time I got to have a wee browse of the deli and grocery section of Alimentari. It boasted lots of great Italian cheeses, cured meats, pastas, olives, sauces and oils. It's a place I would happily trade as my pantry! I tucked into my coffee which was great. I sensed a hint of hazlenut, but I hadn't ordered any syrups in my coffee. Perhaps they'd mixed my order up with someone else's but I wasn't too upset about it- the coffee was still rich and frothy. My ham and cheese croissant was also fantastic. They pastry was beautiful and flaky, clearly fresh out of the oven that morning. When I'm in the city next and in need of some breakfast, I'll definitely give the Alimentari menu and more extensive browse. It's a fantastic little spot and the service was good. The only thing I would change is that if they had one extra staff member in the mornings, they could easily make it table service which I think would add a touch more class to the place. Overall though I thought it was lovely and a nice change to the quick stop coffee and muffin places strewn throughout the city.

Suffice to say, if you've not yet ventured to this cafe on Arthur Street, I'd do so pronto. King Arthur is the new family member from the same folks that brought us Merriweather Cafe. Their ethos and value around high quality seasonal food remains and so do the friendly faces behind the counter. Similarly, just as the creation of the menu might has been considered and carefully constructed, the way in which the meals are crafted from the kitchen are given equal care and attention. I've been both for lunch and breakfast now and each time it has been a calming escape with a side of soul food. The gnocchi with lemon and tarragon in their opening days was, in true Goldilocks style, just enough. The serving size that good amount with gnocchi to savor but not be in a land of regret about the quantity you've devoured. And if you're so inclined, treat yourself to a post-lunch treat from their range of baked goods. I'd recommend the raspberry frangipane tart if it's available. Breakfast of lamb ragu on sourdough was hearty and a great winter alternative to porridge or eggs and bacon. Pro Tip: This isn't a large cafe so there may be a little wait during peak times.
