There are a range of cafes among the galleries, library and the museum in the cultural precinct at South Brisbane. The Collectors Cafe is is the biggest and the most popular with families.

I normally go here for muffins or snacks, which you can order from the front counter or inside. Today I was there with a friend who wanted a meal. She ordered something that cost about $12 (for pasta) plus a cup of coffee. They were not ready at the same time and the pasta was visibly badly cooked. It wasn't just bad, it looked bad and should never have been served.

Still there are lots of seats, and things like muffins and pies are generally okay and cheap. They have the sort of food and atmosphere that is good for kids, so why not.
