As we take our order in the checkout, we mentioned that we wanted to tap water with our sand what; the checkout saw... the tap of the water, it was empty, stopped our order and went to deliver another order from the kitchen. At some point, an employee came by; we gave her our order, and she prepared our bill, but contained a number of articles we had not ordered. After she had pointed out that $40 was a bit much for a sandwich, she agreed and corrected the bill. After a delay of almost twenty minutes our previously prepared sandwich was delivered, but with the wrong drinks. At this point we gave up; there is no point in striking our heads against the wall. We wouldn't give them stars, but the food and the latte were of acceptable quality.

A little expensive, but everything is in Brisbane, but better than a sausage roll at $9. Coffee... was great too.
