coffee anthology

june 2020. went here for walk-in weekend brunch with the partner. they also accept table reservations as well, in light of the covid-19 dining restrictions.
we ordered the breaky roll and chilli scramble with smoked salmon. both dishes were hearty, with soft velvety eggs, a nice punchy sriracha-mayo sauce and generous amounts of salmon and thick cut bacon.
the coffees were smooth and well-made as well.
friendly and efficient service. casual ambience with limited indoor and outdoor seating available. reasonable prices.
overall, a solidcafefor breakfast/brunch and coffee.

been meaning to try out thiscafefor the longest time! finally visited on a busy saturday morning. this lovelycafehas both an indoor and outdoor seating area. firstly, the selection of coffee is wonderful! coffee anthology offers a selection and variety of beans every few/week.
the croissant benedict was to die for! delicious flavour and texture from the garlic almond crunch, and the creamy 63⁰ egg topped off the dish! chilli scramble eggs was also perfect! both dishes were well priced and very generous servicing as well.

definitely recommend this place for a perfect start to your morning! pip ondadip

this bustlingcafeis oddly tucked a few streets away from the cbd but it is well worth the detour!

we ordered a savory and a sweet dish to try and we definitely were not disappointed.

the presentation of the dishes alone would please any insta-foodie, but the food was also packed with flavor and just as delicious as it looked.
the caffeinated waffles were perfectly balanced in contrasting but complimentary flavors, textures and elements.

and the coffee! these people are true connoisseurs of the cup and the brew was outstanding.

the menu is on the small side but coffee anthology does this best. simple dishes, executed well.

service was efficient and attentive.
definitely one of my favorite brisbane cafes.

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 acafethat 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.

at 9am on a weekday, thiscafewas 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.cafeis 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.

it was a nice, bustlingcafein 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 😆

being from melbourne which is the capital of divinecafeculture 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.

walked past thiscafeafter having our coffee and breakfast in beach house. we decided to try the coffee here as it’s rated 4.8. we had espresso which neither of us is used to. but i’m sure espresso lovers would approve it.
we should come back here to try food. they look very nice and well presented.

visited coffee anthology for brunch on a thursday for lunch at 11:00am and was surprised with the number of people in the cafe. thiscafeseems to continually be very popular and is always packed with lots of customers. we were seated after a short wait and served with some table water - the table water however turned out to be sparkling water which we were not a fan of so we requested regular tap water which the staff were able to accommodate.

i ordered the daddy's girl waffles which were really delicious. you could definitely tell that the waffles had a hint of coffee in them but the flavour was not overpowering. the white chocolate marscapone was delicious and not too sweet which was a perfect addition to the waffles. overall, all components of the dish complemented the others very well. 

the bagel was one of the cheaper items on the menu. it was definitely worth its price though. the smoked salmon on the bagel along with the capers and creme fraiche brought out some of the flavours you wouldn't expect of a regular bagel.

the croissant eggs benedict was slightly disappointing and is probably the low point of our visit. the eggs were extremely runny - it seemed as though the whites were barely even cooked and so, the yolk was completely runny too. apart from the extremely runny eggs, the croissant was well toasted and the turmeric hollandaise was very unique. we ordered this dish with ham and were very pleasantly surprised with the thick cut of ham. this dish would have been a winner had it not been for the eggs which are a vital part of the dish. 

the iced latte was slightly disappointing for its size. nevertheless it was very tasty. the chai latte was also very delicious but once again the size is quite small for its price.

overall, some tasty aspects at coffee anthology but just some disappointing points. would love to revisit to retry some dishes and try out some others!

i have been here couple of times in the past but they have completely changed the structure it’s now expanded
so on a very tired morning almost half a sleep , i went to thiscafeto grab a coffee and a bite to eat
as soon as i got there the waiter running in and help me get a seat got served chilled water in a second and a menu
the service is absolutely their part to remember so quick and so professional
as expected the coffee was absolutely amazing and the breakfast was delicious
i felt like i finally woken up
i definitely recommend this place and i will be back and won’t forget to take a photo next time. 🙌🏻

was visiting from melbourne for the weekend and came across this gorgeous place. being from specialty coffee background, this place sparked my interest and did not disappoint. the staff were lovely and attentive, quick service, food was awesome and even better coffee! thanks coffee anthology for a great brisbanecafeexperience.

exceptional food, coffee and service! their gnocchi is absolutely heavenly, the ambience of thecafeis simply lovely. would recommend this as a place to get some work done outside of home or a chill afternoon date. they do coffee like pros here, and you’ll not be left disappointed. only drawback is the lack of wifi for customers, but i’ll live! :)

the only brunch we had in brisbane. attracted by good reviews [australia’s bestcafe2016😧] and the name of thecafeseems like they can make a hella good coffee ☕️ shallow much!?😂
.
the environment was a bit letdown. i wasn’t expecting such a smallcafevenue right next to a little office building in a wide open space, people are constantly walking by which wasn't relaxing🏃🏼🗣
.
i really wanna try the truffled omelette but it only serve till 11pm so we went to truffled eggs benedict with pork belly ($16) + extra bacon ($4) instead 🐽🍳
.
it was good but not as outstanding as the hype. i can’t seem to find any truffle in the dish too. the menu is quite normal, would be better if there were more options. on a positive note, the 63° eggs were well made, i really enjoyed the pork belly and thick cut bacon and the presentation was decent.
.
coffee was alright, could be stronger tho. not as good as expected. i guess you jus can’t compare it with the coffee in melbourne.☕️
.
i am curious about the taste of ''the paris hilton" would like to try it if i had a chance😂😂

came here this morning for breakfast. thecafeitself has a cool vibe and the staff all were very friendly and attentive. although unfortunately the coffee was just ok very warm and the food was below average... the eggs were pretty much not cooked- none of us ate them, and there was only a few options on the menu to choose from in the first place.
will not be returning and am mainly writing this post so other people don't get fooled by the high rating.
