This review is for My-Thai Restaurant, Auchenflower QLD

Went here with a few friends for dinner. Its one of the best thai places I have been to, at least in Brisbane. The interior could do with a revamp but the service and food are to die for.

The food is a little pricey but not to bad for what you get. The food is spectacular and delicious. The manger even came over and asked if there was anything they could do. It was a nice touch.

If you want some of the best Thai food in Brisbane go here.

Approximate cost: $20

Went here with my partner for dinner. In short I was disappointed. The service was very slow and not to friendly. My meal took ages to arrive (30 min) and then it took another 10 min for my partners to arrive while mine was going cold. The food wasn't amazing at any rate. Although its food is sort of cheap, with a main at around $15, the service certainly wasn't up to standard.

The setting was a little better. Its modern. Although a little dark and noisy.

The best thing was the cocktails at $5. They were good but not amazing.

Wouldn't be going here again in a hurry.

Approximate cost: $15

Was walking my dog with a friend when we went in here for breakfast. It's very dog friendly with a water bowl and a place to tie a lead to. The staff were supper friendly and had no problem with taking our order. It was a little crowded but we were still able to get a nice table.

We got someone else's meal by mistake, but this was quickly fixed and I can understand how that happened when it was so busy. The food was very nice and the coffee was loverly.

Would go here again!

Was in the area meeting a friend and had breakfast here. The setting isn't anything amazing, it's clean and modern.

The breakfast menu is fairly large and the prices aren't to bad. I had the french toast with bacon ($13) and my friend had the Eggs Benny (approx $15). The coffee is drinkable but not amazing.

The service could have been allot better. It was nearly 30 minutes before our meals arrived and there was no explanation for this.

Would go here again but not in a rush.

A friend took me here a little while ago for lunch. The name is a bit provocative, but lets get things clear it stands for coffee, not something else. It also seems to have a thing for bagels going on.

I had a salad bagel (about $6) and a coffee, which came with a little chocolate (kind of cute). The food was very fresh and the coffee looked amazing, although didn't taste quiet as good as it looked.

The staff were so friendly and made sure everything was perfect.

Would go here again. It is good.

This review is for Hudsons Coffee, Brisbane QLD

I work near here and go here regularly for my morning coffee. Its just a small store but very friendly and about the only one in the area. Its usually very busy during the peak hours and there is a little bit of a wait, however the service is allot more streamlined compared to most other places. The barristers are very friendly and remember me by name as well as my usual order. There is plenty of seating, but allot of it is outside. So its not as great in the rain or winter. Its not to expensive, but not cheap either with a regular coffee at $3.50.

I go here often and recommend it if you around that part of town.

This review is for Albertos Shot Espresso Bar, West End QLD

After a meeting in West End I was after a coffee and found this cosy little joint. The cafe is tucked away at the end of Montague Road off the main street so it's a little quieter. It has a relaxed, homestyle atmosphere.

I got a coffee to go with a muffin. The service was fast and lightning quick. The barrister also had no problem with giving me directions to were I had to go next which was very helpful.

The coffee was very tasty and the muffin tasted as though it had been baked on site and was equally as good. It was fresh and moist.

Would go here again.

This review is for Flamingo Cafe, Fortitude Valley QLD

Was walking past this place and it looked interesting so I thought I would pop in. The service was a little disappointing. The staff were swearing and took a while to notice me. However the deco of the place is nice, its very colourful and the walls have all been covered with murals.

The menu is a little different. I had a California health spa juice; a mixture of spinach, apple, carrot and almonds. It tasted a little funky but was nice enough. I also had Rayner's ham sandwich. It was a nice sandwich with thick ham and salad was fresh and crunchy.

Overal my experience was ok. But I wouldn't be rushing back any time soon.

This review is for Breathing Space Cafe, Indooroopilly QLD

Went here with a friend and her little girl. This is very family friendly cafe combining child minding with delicious coffee. They took the little girl off my friends hands (for a small fee) while we were given some "breathing space" to enjoy our coffee and meal.

The service was very fast and friendly with the meals only taking a short time to arrive. The food was also ok. I had the Garden Salad, while it was acceptable it was nothing amazing. However it also also fairly cheap with most mains under $14

However the big draw card is the kids space. My friends little girl had a ball and didn't want to leave. We also got some much needed R&R. I would thoroughly recommend this place to anyone with young children.

Approximate cost: $13

This review is for Sassafras Cafe Coffee Catering, Paddington QLD

A friend of mine recommend this place for Brunch and I have to say that I wasn't disappointed. The cafe has a relaxed atmosphere and had plenty of parking which is always a plus. The staff were all friendly and it didn't take long for them to take my order.

Although the food was not presented amazingly it made up for that on share quantity and taste. I had the vegetarian big breakfast and it was very well done. Its also not to badly priced with most meals at around $10-15

Approximate cost: $13
