coffee anthology

travelled from melbourne for work and wanted a nice brekky/ brunch to enjoy whilst i was here.

service was on the slow side, though i was seated on the bench so it could be that i was constantly being missed.

unfortunately i couldn’t order coffee as they don’t do offer a decaf which is surprising for a cafe that prides themselves of their coffee.

avo on toast was ordered this took over 35 mins to come which is far too long for a place that has maybe 8 items on their menu. it was okay but not something i’d wait over 30 mins for and the berry sauce was nice but didn’t complement the dish just sort of sat there for decoration and some colour, eggs were near impossible to eat with the the rest of the dish and the quinoa puff was over kill, way to much of it.

definitely in need of more staff or better preparation.

lovely atmosphere and outside seating! i ordered the nutella waffle and a chai latte. i might ask for the chai latte to be a little hotter next time (as they suggest on their menu). the waffle itself wasn’t impressive, as most cafè-waffles i try. loved most of the decorations, though, especially the peanut butter mascarpone! the chocolate sauce was a bit too bitter for my liking. hope to be back and try the avo toast or croissant benedict.

having been a brisbane local i never decided to venture in to the cbd on the weekend. when i was in town for a conference it was time to finally try and coffee anthology did not disappoint. being gluten intolerant i was aware of the good range of dietary friendly dishes on the menu. i chose the breakky bowl which was excellent with one poached egg added. the almond chai was also quick, hot and enjoyable. i will definitely be back.

yesterday been there with my friend, we were having good time there sit back and sipping flat white, their service was quick and excellent, not to mention the atmosphere of the place was cosy and good

fantastic venue in the city. the red puff quinoa really complimented the avocado setting it apart from the many variations of the dish that i’ve sampled over time. i chose to add bacon, which wasn’t the best choice. would make a different choice next time like salmon. otherwise the coffee was ok and the service friendly.

absolutely loved the benedict croissant- it was perfect and the nut crumb took it to the next level. best coffee i’ve had away from melbourne. will retun again before we leave brisbane.

at 9am on a weekday, this cafe was fairly busy, brimming with people in suits and blouses preparing for a day at work. i probably wouldn’t come here again at this time - i prefer a more laid back atmosphere that is more conducive to sitting for a while and having a conversation. also, it didn’t help that the seating options are rather dismal if you have more than two people. you can either drag a chair up to a table for two if you managed to snag a table on the end of the row (as you can see in the photo) or you can sit at the bar table, as we did, which wasn’t exactly comfortable.

the food was really good though. i got the banoffee waffle ($17). the crunchy topping composed of cinnamon, sugar, and nuts were a perfect texture contrast to the softness of the waffle and the banana, and the two different types of cream (whipped and something else) balanced out the whole dish nicely.

sadly, the chai latte ($4.50) was made with powder. the waitress (who was absolutely lovely, 10/10 service) informed me it was better quality than most. there was a unique note of something that i couldn’t quite identify, but in the end, powder is still powder. it was less sweet than some other places though (looking at you pane e vino).

i’m definitely going to come back at some point to try some of the baked goods. or to get another waffle...

been wanting to here for ages. there was a line up for coffee. the service was excellent. cafe is gorgeous. very fresh and vibrant. we just ordered coffees to go. we. were serviced pretty quickly considering the line. i love barista that actually make eye contact. means they care about their service. i love strong bold taste of coffee. unfortunately for me it was too milky. but l can see why people come here. will be back to try breaky next time.

this is a tale of 2 parts; in short the coffee (to my taste) is weak and cold  (2 stars) and this is not the first time so i feel comfortable in saying this.  further the barista refuses to make it according to the customers requests and i am a coffee snob and appreciate the art and the science but ....this is not a  competition so please listen to your customer.  
in contrast the food was super (4 stars); on this occasion i had the miso scramble with no additions and i read a review below and i love salt and even i didn't need to add anything, that is a compliment coming from me because chefs should season the food perfectly and i do this was accomplished. it was heavy in sesame oil which made this a very rich breakfast dish. the thick slice of sourdough was not toasted and neither did it need to be - it was perfectly fresh and unadulterated making it a ideal companion to the unctuous generous serve of miso (3) egg scramble. my dining companion had the avo on toast, with an almond tarator on the toast and  a blackberry chia relish on the side.  only one slice and that is  reflected in the price $11.00.  it is his staple so it must say it is good.  service is above average for a cafe.

it was a nice, bustling cafe in cbd. the waiting staffs were friendly and the food came pretty fast. ordered chai latte and tiramisu waffle.

the chai latte was nice and not too overly sweet. the waffle was pretty delish and looked beautiful but tasted a bit too sweet for me. loved coffee mascarpone, but the chocolate and ice cream kinda made it too heavy. the berries were a nice balance to counter the sweet flavour. i could use more berries for that dish 😆

these guys are masters in coffee brewing.
not only do they make the best damn coffee, they are also a walking encyclopaedia on everything coffee. from the different beans, different flavour notes, perfect temperature for the perfect shot etc.

friendly staff. we were seated immediately despite being almost lunch.
lovely food. had the croissant benedict. yums! amazing coffee.
definitely worth the visit.

very good coffee, good food and quick service. amazing staff👍🏽
good vibe.
offers different coffee blends which suits for everyone. food is always good.

phenomenal coffee, very knowledgeable staff and amazing venue. i wish i worked closer so i could make this my daily. the bkon brewer makes such an unforgettably smooth coffee!

being from melbourne which is the capital of divine cafe culture i had to visit this place given it's rather high ratings. i thought it was ok but nothing really to rave over unfortunately. the menu was very different to what is published on zomato so i suggest you use it as a guide. i had the miso scrambled eggs on sourdough with ham and a soy chai latte. the miso scrambled eggs and ham were salt overkill so definitely not for those with a low sodium diet. the chai latte was ok but not overly impressive compared to the other places in brisbane. i do have to admit that the waiting staff are very polite and attentive which was lovely to see.
