One very hung over Sunday in search of breakfast foods I found this hipster/yuppie cafe shop that…read morealso sells garden supplies and flowers and also doubles as a antique store which seems to be a rather odd range of items for sale haha. Little bit disappointed that they don't do an all day brekky and brekky stops at 10:30. However I opted for the fresh fish and chips for $19 which sounded good but for the price and portions of food was not very good value for the dollar and the fish pieces were the size of small fish fingers so not very satisfying. My friend got the BLT which also came with chips, she got 7 chips with this meal lol. The decore and presentation of the shop is OK and the food was OK but not amazing this time I'm afraid. I'd go again to try the big breakfast meal as long as its bigger and better than what I got this time.

I love this cafe. It is literally the best part of the shopping center…read more They first opened as a hole in the wall a decade ago, which I really enjoyed, I got to feel super trendy as a teen. This cafe is the reason I'm a coffee snob. The owner is the barista (most of the time) and is so incredibly passionate about coffee. Large coffees have a free, optional 3rd shot of coffee, and alternative or specialty milks are also free. Personally, I appreciate an owner that wants all their customers to enjoy their coffee more than they want the extra 30 cents. The lactose intolerant are truly welcome here. It's not even the cheap faux-milks, either. Since it's small beginnings it has grown a lot. The most impressive is the pizza oven, which is really opened up the kitchen to make some really delicious breakfast foods. These guys do a classic breakfast menu, so if you want an eggs benedict, this is your place. (Most of) the cakes may not be made on site, but they are brought in from somewhere that knows what they're about, and they are always fresh. 2shots started with 3 tables and have a dozen seats - and now they have an outdoor table area. I hate sitting outside, but this is an exception. The eating area has blinds, so wind and rain can be kept out, and of course a roof, which heaters for winter. To compliment this set up is a truly ludicrous amount of potted flowers around the edge - which keeps all the tables cool and insulated from the weather, and looks wonderful. Want good coffee? Go to 2shots.

I haven't really spent much time in Moorooka before. I'm happy to find out that it's a kickin'…read morelittle hub packed full of culture. They've got some killer African restaurants, (try the Eritrean and Ethiopian restaurants in particular), some cute little cafes AND a great pub. Just at the end of the business strip along Beaudesert Road is where you'll find the Red Lion. It's looks as if it's been freshly unveiled after a renovation job, with it's fire engine red walls, and stainless steel furnishings. The pub has a nice alfresco area, it's very spacious on the inside, and offers a dining room that gives off something of a more sophisticated vibe. The pub grub is cheap as chips. You can get your surf and turf, and your steak and garden salad for around $15. The meals really are the highlight of the Red Lion. Outside of that, they've got your standard pub features. There's a long row of pokies, a tiny video arcade room complete with pinball machine, a couple of pool tables and a big long bar you can come in and sit yourself down at to wile away the afternoon chatting with the bar tender. There's a lot going on in Moorooka these days, it's a happenin' little place. Know that I know there's a pub out there with good eats, I'll probably be heading out there more often.

A friend who lives in the area suggested we come here for a meal…read more Having never heard of The Red Lion I had no idea the place was here. On first impressions we like the new refurbished venue. First the choice of ciders and beer on tap is great. Second the staff are lovely and helpful. Third, well the food, it's amazing, delicious, great value, and so much better than you would expect! The chef is brilliant! I had the slow cooked beef ribs with my choice of 2 sides; kipfler potato sand tomato with buffalo cheese warm salad. The beef was so soft and falling off the bones!!! The others at our table had beef cap and the lamb. We all loved our meals and, it seems we are going to have a meal here every 2 or 3 weeks. Come here try the place, you will love it!!

Merlo have also joined forces with Lick ice creamer to present various blends of ice cream... Mmm latte, mocha, espresso... This cafe remind of many a Melbourne cafe. Could it be the geo tiles in smart Black and White? Or the cosy booth seats on either side with their servery smack in the middle? The bold art on the wall? Coffee is always going to be their love, so food options are sparing. The usual cafe fare presents itself in a glass case. Focaccia, subs, slices, sausage rolls, quiche... Cake slices are pre cut lending itself to dry cake wall syndrome. Oh sure, it's a real thing. Seating now. Two long rows of single seat back to back booths, the back of the room has a more accommodating 4-6 booth, tables outside under the awning for nice weather, or perch on a stool and look out the glass at passing populations.

It couldn't get any better than Zac's Simply Better. What a simple concept, fresh food, catered,…read moredelivered, on-site. This shop looks like a mini IKEA... not kidding, everything is in it's place, organised and very pretty. The sandwiches here are just that, very simple, very fresh. They also cater and have their own brand of juice, which is always a little bit posh. We used them to cater an office function last minute because we couldn't get our normal caterer to come, and there was no problems whatsoever. We even got free movie tickets, bonus! They don't just do the usual platter of cheese and sandwiches, they also have a range of turkish breads and sushi! I love their Salmon and Dill sandwiches, super fresh and yummy dill. On top of that, many ladies in our office were delighted to hear of their gluten-free range, always good. Along with the gluten-free, they have wraps and grain breads for the low GI option as well as danish cookies (not so low GI, but buttery goodness that melts in your mouth). Definetely consider Zac's if you're looking for office catering, if you're in Milton and want a sandwich that literally feels like it's cleaning you on the way down it's so fresh, check them out.

On a very grey, rainy day, I took shelter in this cafe and felt as if I'd been transported back to…read moreLondon. Maybe it was the miserable weather, maybe it was the Mini Cooper parked outside (they deliver catering to offices in these babies) or maybe it was the fact that this little cafe was so reminiscent of the hundreds of sandwich shops throughout London. Either way, their offerings are far more appetising, fresher and tastier than those pre-packaged, off-site assembled sandwiches. Zac's has sushi, rice paper rolls, wraps, Turkish bread and the option of adding the oh-so-scrumptious apple sauce to your gourmet sandwich. And they take catering orders as well - enough to feed one to one hundred ravenous workers.

Mine was very pretty and we got our food very quickly after ordering.

Definitely a solid spot for a good meal before hitting south bank or to walk along the parks and creek nearby.

It was Sunday,…read morejust after 11 and we were after Brunch - this was a drop in and we got the last spare table, this cafe fills fast and there is a queue . Well we got seated, checked the menu and ordered. Service was friendly although on the slower side, gave us time to talk. Food came out in spurts - my other half was having a muffin and coffee - so the muffin teased us for about three minutes until the coffee came. The food is good to excellent - the crowd was doing it justice. Coffee was very drinkable - really good. The food was a bit pricey. Getting the park was an issue as it is on street parking and ended up having a walk. Overall really good.

The rose water and raspberry cake did just that and found it's place on my order with a peppermint tea. The cake itself was lovely, but could have done without the icing in my opinion. There's a full menu for breakfast and lunch as well.
