We ordered smoked salmon salad which was boring for 20$ and American cheeseburger which was a bit dry but good size. Location is beautiful, it was a very hot day and fans were not enough and flies sitting on us everywhere. If you need a coffee take away, it's a good spot but sitting for lunch or dining I wouldn't recommend

Kudos! The burger was fairly thick and juicy, grilled to a well down degree. I would suggest adding more sauces because the beef is not seasoned to a noticeable degree. I was able to taste the beef and tell it is fresh so that was a bonus for me. If you're using oils or butter while grilling don't. The fries were to die for. By far one of my go to for a burger or just coffee

Says the coffee is very good although I don't drink coffee so can't agree or disagree. Wait for food was longer than expected considering we were only 3 of the 4 customers there. Thickshake whilst a reasonable price of $6 and full chocolate flavour was a milkshake. Lots of places not getting this right of late! My mums lamb burger looked great and she loved it. Herb chips were crisp and well seasoned. My felafel wrap wasn't what I was expecting. I pictured patties or balls but this was thin and spread across the wrap. Tasted fine though and I enjoyed the pickles that came with. Bought a slice of chocolate baklava cheesecake to share at home with my partner. The slice was more than generous. I'm not big on cheesecake, nor is my partner or baklava but the combination is perfect. Not too sweet. Cheesecake balanced the often sickly syrup and the chocolate base and pieces completed the trio. One of their Easter treats that can be preordered but may be a staple on their menu now. Definitely get some of this! Flies were an issue with the open door and more than enough to be a nuisance.

My girlfriend brought me here as a surprise on a Saturday, as she comes here all the time. This is…read morea nice and cosy little café with beautiful warm decor that feels inviting. I love the lights here too, with those awesome looking incandescent bulbs I'm seeing more of. I didn't try the food, but the coffee was great. Full flavoured in either a long black or a latte. They do have a small selection of pastries and food which I'm assured are excellent. Is a little noisy from being on the main road, but an indoor seat sorts that out. Air conditioning helps with the heat too.

I figure this account of Good Brother Espresso is best written in singular words…read more Trendy. Hipster. Coffee. Eats. Rustic. Worthwhile. But that isn't fair because Good Brother Espresso looks good and their coffee was equally so. Our time here felt like a pit stop so I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to soak up their atmosphere but it definitely felt like a cafe you could bring your laptop along to and work the morning away, or settle in to read your favourite book. The menu seemed to be pretty standard cafe fare and I'm looking forward to going back and trying more than a coffee and the delicious morsel that was a fig and date roll.

A trendy place where the staff are rude and judgmental. The hot chocolate was undrinkable and the…read moreslice was incredibly stale. The place really relies on its aesthetic more than its product and unfortunately draws the type of crowd very unwilling to share the communal table. We got tired of the rude and too-busy-chatting staff and the poor quality of food and haven't been back. ETA February 2013: I haven't had a chance to try anything yet, but it appears that there may be a change of management - the decor is much cheerier, the staff are so much happier and the menu looks very interesting and tempting. As soon as I get a chance to try it out, a new review will appear.

Consistently good food, well priced and friendly service. I…read morehave been coming here for several years, mainly for Sunday breakfasts but their lunch menu is just as appealing and has a good specials selection. Today I tried the Rueben sandwich. The colour and taste of the sauerkraut really topped it off but it was a bit messy to eat. If you have a sweet tooth, there are a variety of cakes to choose from (served with ice cream or cream). It can get very busy so booking ahead is a good idea but there is usually enough space for walk-ins. It is table service with pay at counter. Despite how busy they get they are a rarity in that they split bills, which I love. Yes, they might miss something on your order or forget to get that extra drink but I'm happy to overlook that. I will keep coming back.

This destination (I say that because you'll never drive past here in your travels) serves fantastic breakfast. The coffee is Italian and has a sweet bitterness to it.
