Brisbane's brunch culture is built around slow mornings, good coffee, and cafes that don't mind you sitting for two hours over one order. Here's where we go when we want to do brunch properly.
This and That Cafe, New Farm
A produce-driven neighbourhood cafe on Brunswick Street, open 7am–2pm Tuesday to Sunday. It's the kind of local spot that regulars build their weekend around — get there early on weekends, it fills up.
Jude Cafe, Eagle Street Pier
Right on the water at Eagle Street Pier, Jude Cafe is an easy pick if you want your brunch with a river view. Casual, all-day dining that works just as well for a coffee catch-up as a full breakfast.
The Coffee Club, Eagle Street
A reliable all-day dining option in the same Eagle Street Pier precinct — good for groups where not everyone wants the same thing off the menu.
Stellarossa, Brisbane City
An Australian café on Eagle Street serving coffee and casual meals — a solid, no-nonsense CBD brunch option if you're short on time but don't want to compromise on coffee quality.
Our take
Brisbane brunch is less about elaborate plating and more about the coffee being right and nobody rushing you out the door. All four of these get that balance right.
