Had such a positive experience, friendly and helpful staff, excellent food and service. Chocolate brownie is a must! Can’t wait for my next visit!

Over the last 5 or so years we have dined at Malt, perhaps 2-3 times per year, for Sunday breakfast after our regular Sunday morning walk with close friends. For the 1st 3 years or so Malt was a regular & one of our favourites....About 2 years ago we had a really bad experience - very slow & poor table service, cold coffees & meals that were less than acceptable. We expressed our disappointment to management & they offered us free coffees next time we dined, with the promise of a better experience. We gave them a 2nd chance & were pleasantly surprised that they had delivered on their promise. This morning we went back again, but unfortunately this will be the last time that we dine there. We booked for 8:15 am & were informed that we would need to be finished by 9:30 am (no problem with that as that would be ample time). We arrived at 8:15 & were then told that we would be required to be be finished by 9:00 am (once again no problem so long as service is relatively quick). We knew we were in for an interesting morning when our ‘waitress with the wrong attitude’ eventually strolled over 10 minutes after we were seated. This young lady should not be working in the hospitality industry full stop - moody, unhelpful, unpleasant, unfriendly, impatient - you name it, she had all of the wrong traits for this job. Then we saw the menu & there was literally nothing on there that looked enticing. Now I will literally eat almost anything & I particularly love trying all sorts of different dishes but their current menu is just terrible (check it out online). We thought ‘surely this can’t get any worse’ but we were wrong. Three of us played it safe & simply ordered scrambled eggs on toast with bacon. Well we got that but they all came with a side order of 2 cups of oil. Our meals were swimming in oil. What used to be a favourite spot for us has now been blacklisted. We have been doing our Sunday walks for over a decade with our friends & we have dined at over 40 different cafes & restaurants during this time, & Malt is the very first cafe that we have blacklisted. Such a shame but it truly has become substandard.More

Four of us met for a delightful breakfast. The smashed avo and eggs and croissants were delightful as was the berry smoothie. Coffees could have been hotter. Service was prompt. Service was also mixed: one waitress was blunt and didn’t deal with a spilt coffee...at all (I would have thought a $109 bill might have elicited better service); the other (French) waitress was lovely 😊 recommended overall.More

Found this little cafe tucked away near the water, one of the best iced coffees I’ve ever had and the staff were so friendly. Didn’t have time to eat but great coffee 👌

Had a few very breakfast and couple of lunch. Service is always friendly and their change their lunch menu often. Food is always nice and testy.

Great outlook over the Brisbane river. Unfortunately, it was embarrassing to take our out-of-town friends to this restaurant ... due to the floor staff that made it obvious that they did not want to be at work. This was our second visit to this restaurant...in two years. Yesterday was a completely different experience to our first. The maître d’ provided the best service of the staff on the floor yesterday and his service was only average. We had a 1 pm Saturday booking. The staff only smiled when we were “departing” the restaurant at 3.35 pm. The food was very enjoyable, thank you to the chefs. We will not be returning to this restaurant due to the service.More

Third time my group has been treated as though Malt did not want our custom. Not our fault Malt staff are Rude Condescending and ArrogantMore
