The view doesn't make up for the bad attitude and poor service from the staff. An Easter outing with the family was ruined. More

Had lunch here its a sensational location looking up or down the Brisbane River over to the city. The cafe looks nice as you enter but it doesnt seem to have a vibe!!! The service is just that serving your meal to the table with nothing extra, & i feel this is why the cafe has no atmosphere. The food... More

An outdoor cafe- so your experience will be affected by the weather. Staff so friendly, helpful and efficient. Food delicious, well cooked and served almost instantly. Great value, good coffee - an excellent spot for a weekend breakfast. Downfall are the lycra clad cyclists and runners that stand there sweating and panting thinking others want to look or listen to... More

Not worth it. Slow, rude, unhappy service. Food was average. Our bacon had bone all through (bacon was in my breakfast wrap) - which I had to spit out. We live in Kangaroo Point but won't be going back. More

Great views of Brisbane City and a casual cafe. We have been there a couple of times but make sure you are there during the day, It closes early even on weekends, so no twilight coffees available. Bad Cats of Brissy More

I've been there twice now - once for a solo breakfast and once for a lunch meetup with a colleague. FOOD - yummy! reasonably priced (not cheap but not too expensive for a treat), very tasty food. Breakfast wrap the first time, and the salmon fish cakes with a bean salad. COFFEE - very good. SERVICE - always happy, smiling... More

Food is a little exy, however the staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. Best feature of this cafe, is the beautiful view of Brisbane city and of the Brisbane River. Noticed a lot of people on the River to from here, so I thought I'd check out where they were coming from. An old building down by... More

The good: the view from the cafe is one of the best in Brisbane - sweeping 180 degree views of the river, the botanic gardens and the city. Absolutely magnificent. The cafe is within walking distance from the city, Fortitude Valley and South Bank. The bad: The food was not the worst I've had, but certainly not the best I've... More

Outstanding views over the city from vantage point above Kangaroo Point cliffs. Had eggs benedict and coffee, well above average but not excellent. Service friendly but not engaging. Coming back for the great location and easy access. More
