Sassafras

Very popular and often busy little brunch and lunch spot! They don't always take reservations so be sure to check. The courtyard is gorgeous and I'd go on a weekday if you can, as weekends are nuts.

I had high hope of this cafe, the food was good and the price was reasonable. I had been warned over how bus this cafe can become but entering on a not so busy day we were confronted with a cabinet of delectable foodstuffs that tempted me more than I could bare. Ready to devour all that I saw, and probably to regret it later the disorganized layout did not allow any order for service and hence led to frustration. The food in the end was good and well priced, it was only the delicatessen style service, without a number system that frustrated to the point of making me think twice to enter this cafe again.

Approximate cost: $8-$16

This cafe is unbelievably popular from what I've read on the internet and I have to say I wasn't disappointed. They have a wonderfully diverse menu and their interior is quirky and rustic. The service seems friendly and genuine. Not the best cafe experience I've ever had in terms of food and what not, but it sure gets pretty close minus the coffee wankers and pretentious decor

Approximate cost: $18

I think this is probably my favourite cafe in Brisbane, especially for breakfast or lunch. Such a great variety of food and nothing is overpriced in my opinion. The staff are lovely too, and the atmosphere both fun and relaxed. I always try to sit outside if there's a table free - just a shame that it's usually so busy, but then there's a reason for that! Worth trying for lunch during the week if you're not a Mon-Fri nine-to-five-r.

Approximate cost: $15-20 for breakfast/lunch, including a coffee

Great food, great location with a beautiful courtyard. Get in early on sundays as it is always packed. I recommend the ricotta hotcakes with honeycomb yum yum!

Really impressed with the variety of food hear – for both meat eaters and vegetarians. The place was absolutely packed with people, so you know that it is a very popular little cafe. The only down side is the place is a little bit cramped with so many people, but that is the price you pay for yummy food at a low cost.

Approximate cost: $10-20

bris-boring needs more of this alternative style eating. we cant all have 2 fried eggs and bacon on toast or a cheese and ham toasted sandwich for breakfast! i love their scrambled tofu. outdoor seating is beautiful.
