Really amazing coffee and chatty staff (which is good if you're like me!). the best thing about this place is they have a phone app which you can use to order your coffee ahead of time!!! So cool.

Approximate cost: $-

Amazing antiques books and the newest titles as well. Secondhand and brand new. The store smells exactly like old books should and is in a gorgeous old building.

Really amazing range of books that cover every genre imaginable from Sci-Fi Horror to Architecture. All the staff are willing to lend a hand or suggest a book, and very friendly about it. They really want to help you find something you will like.

Really nice clothes at really affordable prices. It's a women's clothing store, so heaps of dresses and skirts and all really up-to-date fashion.

Approximate cost: $50-$70

the loft is like downtown Soho, all modern colours and edges with very basic (minimal) but chic designs. They have pieces from Australian and international designers

Approximate cost: $a lot

This store has a lot of hard to find music that you thought you'd never find, but at the same time they are often out of a lot of stock. It really sucks that all the goths in brisbane seem to be hanging out at the front of the store these days, but once youre inside it's not an issue!

Approximate cost: $25-$35

Brew is a gorgeous little indie cafe tucked down the bottom of one of Brisbane's forgotten alleyways. They do coffee and cakes and are branching out into tapas and wine/beer/etc late nights wed-fri. perfect for a night out or coffee with some friends!

I love the Dudley St Espresso boys and what they have done with their little space. very cute, very indie, and great value coffee and nibbles.

Approximate cost: $6

Very nice wait staff, food was served quickly. Seated by very friendly manager and even though we were first timers, my boyfriend and I found the experience very easy and nice.

Approximate cost: $19
