Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Brisbane City

"Predominantly known for their gluten-free, baked not fried donuts, Nodo has a knack for turning out perfect flavour combinations to support your daily dose of sweetness. Sit down to a six pack of Iced VoVo, vegan wild chocolate orange, strawberry hazelnut, blueberry lemon cheesecake, raspberry and white chocolate, and pumpkin maple – which is the only six pack we’ll be seeing anytime soon…"

"Doing big ol’ boxes to take away or individuals to snack in, Nodo commits hard to their gluten-free premise. Making sure you get to #eatdonutsforbreakfast they do new batches daily, but will only have stock until sold out. Might have to beat an old lady with a stick to get then."

"Catering to families of all ages, Victoria Park Bistro at Victoria Park Golf Complex offers family friendly alfresco dining at their hilltop venue and stunning views of the city across the rolling green golf courses. With a kid-friendly menu featuring delicious wood-fired pizzas and dozens of other yummy options, kids can also enjoy the on-site playground that includes a wooden cubbyhouse and farm tractor, as well as access to Victoria Park’s weekend kids’ games area, including GIANT games and a jumping castle. Of course, Victoria Park’s awesome putt putt mini golf course is also a lot of fun to play 9 or 18 holes before or after your meal (we suggest splitting it, and doing 9 before and 9 after!)."

"Coffee is essential for an early start, so it only makes sense that Valentino’s opens from 5:30am every morning (except for Sundays, because everyone deserves a sleep in). These baristas grind out traditional Italian coffee that is bound to energise and enlighten. For more than just a drink, they also offer a full chef’s menu and cabinet of treats."

"Ask for the Aquarius Health & Medispa signature body wrap and you’ll be whisked away to a magical carefree place of serenity. It’s really that good. Mum can take her pick from hydrating and nourishing, or purifying and detoxifying."

They use authentic ingredients and prepare their ice-cream with liquid nitrogen, hence the name of the franchise. They have a wide range of delicious flavors such as Dark Belgian Chocolate Vegan, Caramel Cafe Latte, and Lemon Sugar Pikelet."

"Since taking out prize after prize for its dark chocolate gelato, Milani House of Gelato has cemented its place on any list of Brisbane’s best. Owner Yue Lin, who trained in Italy under a Master gelato chef, sources the best ingredients available, and hand-makes the gelato each and every morning. Keep it simple with a scoop, or go all-out with one of their decadent desserts, like Death By Chocolate, stacked with chocolate and vanilla gelato, chocolate chips, chocolate topping, whipped cream and… more chocolate."

"Go there after dinner and you will be lucky to find a table – find yourself in this situation however, and you can always get a takehome tub."

"Initially opening in Teneriffe in 2012, La Macelleria is the real Italian deal!. The owners, both called Matteo (not kidding) are committed to crafting authentic, Bologna-style gelato, offering classic Italian flavours like fior di latte, crema Bologna, and new favourites like raspberry cheesecake. With four venues (Teneriffe, West End, King Street and Coorparoo) they’re never too far away–especially on a hot day."

"Cake and ice-cream are absolute necessities in time of need and in time of play and La Macelleria Gelateria has Brisbane covered during the coronavirus chaos. You can now order from Uber Eats and Deliveroo your go-to flavour of gelato, sorbet, shakes and cakes. Explore their menu and go on and treat yourself!"

"From Bologna to Brisbane, La Macelleria gelataria dishes up delicious traditional Italian gelato, sorbetto and Segafredo espresso. Located on Florence Street in trendy Teneriffe, La Macelleria is the brainchild of two Matteos"
