Pure Tastes Espresso - Brisbane

Large small caffe near the brisbane convention and exhibition centre. great coffee and large selection of cafe food. can be sized for the croissant, fresh and generous.

We were in South Bank for a convention and wanted to take a coffee before it opened. we saw the sign over the road for this and wandered through the urban garden building and found it away. it's a bit away from the street. we looked at each other. the prices seemed ok, so we ordered. the service was polite, the coffee came fast (together with some toasties, the others who were ordered in order.) the coffee from the beginning had another taste and it took one to get the taste that was somewhat milky and tasted a little washed out. it wasn't the worst thing I ever had, but it was a pretty average cup. this was commented by the 5 others who ordered our coffee. I thought that was a little disappointing with a Merlot coffee site. I don't want to drink a coffee here. the $1 coffee from 7 11 is a better brew.

This place has fast become my morning regular. I can only comment on service- they are bubbly and welcoming ✅ deliciously smooth coffee that is made consistently (not one bad one, they've all tasted great) and promptly ✅ I've only had sandwiches but they are always good. Smoked salmon/cream cheese etc toasted Turkish for $7.50- it shouldn't be breakfast but at that price it has to be. Ticks all the morning boxes

This is a great little cafe with lovely staff. The Merlo coffee is delicious and I recommend the banana bread!

Popped in for a quick breakfast. It serves average food, nothing special. Coffee was rich, but bordering on bitter. Service was inexperienced and confused. Overall, it's neither good, nor bad. But I'll look for somewhere better next time.
