We take a seat and check out the all day breakfast menu. Mum and I were not disappointed with our iced chocolates and vegetarian breakfasts'. From what i've been told, the whole family helps run and make all menu items as well as hand making scrumptious looking cupcakes. The vintage feel creeps through with funny 1950's posters lining the walls. "Unattended children will receive and espresso and a free kitten" had to be my favourite. The other detail that really impressed me was the "what happened on this day in 1950?".. this was a compilation of all the events that happened on 'this day' 64 years ago. How clever!! So much effort, so much heart, so much dedication. I will try my best to come here to support this business whenever I'm in Carina Heights. It's places like this that deserve recognition and a beautiful, successful business.

Located in a very busy little suburban centre on a very busy suburban road. Stomp is the best looking shop in the block. Not big, but cute and functional. Lots of different types of seating inside and out. Food and menu looks diverse and delicious. But we just needed coffee. Beans by Veniziano. Coffee was well made and a perfect temperature. We did sneak in a coconut macaroon that was divine. Staff are relaxed and friendly. Parking is right out front, so it was a bit noisy out there. Choice seating inside for sur.

I've made a few trips to Penny, some just for coffee (takeaway and sit down) and a few with food…read more Across the board, Penny is outstanding in terms of Brisbane's cafe scene. 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.

The Jam Pantry, in Greenslopes, is their newest venture and could be considered a more polished and grown up Comfort. The country-cottage chic design is still there but it's more refined (hello beautiful wallpapered back room for group dining!) as is the menu. There's old favourites including Nims' Eggs but then there's the specials board. And this is where Nims' shines. French toast with raspberry ripples, Tomato and Strawberry soup, Cous Cous cereal with coconut yoghurt, confit salmon, and a few other treats sure to leave you considering a two or three course breakfast or brunch, or at the very least plotting your immediate return. We dined here early on a Thursday morning in their first week of trade. Service was top-notch, attentive and being asked just what I meant by "iced long black" was a welcome question to ensure my coffee was a rousing success. To be fair, there were only a handful of diners while we were there but I'm confident even during the busy weekend periods, brunch hunters wouldn't be waiting too long for meals. My Zucchini and Cumin fritters with bacon, beetroot relish (able to be purchased in-house alongside Nims' other preserves, jams and relishes), garlic yoghurt and poached eggs were much larger than I'd expected and finishing them became quite the mission whilst chatting away to my dining companion. Served in a bowl, it was liking digging for hidden treasure as I made my way down to the fritters - soft, pillowy and light. There was a moment of ordering regret upon seeing my friend's french toast! The best thing it's the type of cafe you can take a paramour, your girlfriends, or your Mum. It's just like going home!

There are so many knick-knacks in this place you can buy to add to someone's collection like tea sets or lead lamps, or glassware. It's a very cute little place with incense lining some bookshelves ready to sample and take home to enjoy. You walk through from where everything seems dark and gorgeous and wooden into a section that is pink and white with doilies and runners and blankets that inevitably reminded me of my grandmother. I bought a really funky foldable clock and a jewellery box masquerading as a book. So gorgeous and so cheap! Never have I come across a place that sells such beautiful and original wares for such amazing prices. It just goes to show you that it's true the further out of the city you go for shopping, the better the prices will be and generally, the nicer the staff. The lovely ladies here were all too happy to wrap my purchases and listen to me drawl on and on about how much I loved the shop. There's a really cute little café just through a doorway too if you'd like to look over your purchases with a cup of coffee.

It's based in a small, suburban shopping centre in the Coorparoo/Camp Hill area.Inside there's a deli counter and little mini grocery store (stocking high end oils, vinegars etc etc). And a huge trestle table where you can sit and sip coffee or brunch. If you're after more space, just outside you can sit in the cafe's "extension", which is quite spacious, airy and has huge French windows that open out. Unfortunately onto a carpark. I came here to order some gourmet salads for Christmas Day. And although they sounded amazing, creative and probably would have tasted divine - at $23.50/kilo, I had to fan myself with the menu and have a sit down. Before leaving without ordering. I have it on good authority that this is THE place that locals come for brunch on a weekend (but book a table). And the sarnies are apparently to-die-for. As is the expense, I'm sure.

Their coffee is Merlo and is good without being anything to write home about. All things considered, a Sunday morning coffee and BLAT in their very open and breezy outside seating area is a great way to start winding down the weekend.
