It's inside a nice atrium that makes you feel like you're outside when you've been cooped up all day. The coffee is passable and there's a small range of food items to choose from if you forgot your lunch. It is a small walk from PA though I wouldn't come here every day.

Exceptional coffee (5 out of 5) – one of the best in Brisbane and easily the best on the PA Hospital/TRI/PACE campus. Pacemaker Cafe also have some of the best latte artists I’ve ever seen. I used to be a semi-regular at Pacemaker Café when I worked for UQ, but now only make it here very infrequently. When they first opened they served Campos Coffee, but switched to Toby’s Estate a couple years ago. The Campos was good, but the Toby’s Estate is exceptional. I enjoy watching the Cold Drip Coffee Towers slowly dripping away after the end of a busy day...drip, drip, drip. Baked goods and light meals are good (3.5), but this is a place for coffee lovers first and foremost. I highly recommend Pacemaker!

My favourite coffee joint in Brisbane! You can choose from a wide array of beans each with a description about the flavour. The food selections are quite nice and prices are on par with most cafes in the area. The staff are friendly and are do some amazing coffee art! Be sure to take of advantage of their Friday happy hour deal between 3-5 for half price food!

The best thing about this little cafe is the staff! Everyone is so friendly and accomodating. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I also see a lot of people drop by for a coffee in the mornings. I do enjoy the selection of cakes and little baked goods, however, my only dislike is the price considering its proximity to a uni students.
