Was CorvettePete at Java Lounge Cafe a mag?
I came here while visiting Brisbane for a few days. My companion was a local who was keen to try somewhere new. I had the fritters with smoked salmon and my companion had the eggs benedict. She was very happy with the sauce. My breakfast was very nice and the hot chocolate that I had was pretty good. The service was friendly and efficient. All in all, a good spot for breakfast.

What Chesley Hagenes dislikes about Java Lounge Cafe:
Stylish deco, good service. Love those paints on the wall. To be honest, the coffee here was quite average. The portion of the food would be a bit small for me, ordered a egg benedict with bacon and a vegetarian bagel. Nothing to comment on the egg benedict, it is just average one. I like the veggie bagel, all ingredient were fresh, and the grilled cheese within was delicious. Nothing goes wrong with this shop, but... View all feedback.

Have always wanted to give this place a try! Have driven past it countless times over the years and always thought it looked like it had such a nice relaxed vibe to it. Finally went on Sunday morning with my partner for breakfast. I had the avocado smash and my partner had the big brekkie. Food was generous and the flavours in the avocado smash were on point ???????? service was fantastic. Fast, friendly and efficient. The cafe had such a cute homely feel to it. Definitely a great local cafe that I will frequent from now on ????

Great food and coffee but you'll need to book ahead if you want an outside table for you and the furbabies. Service prompt and friendly and seems very popular with locals and cyclists.

Decided to give this place a whirl the other morning. Glad we did it was a cute little cafe in a great spot amongst The hustle and bustle of Paddington. I had the zucchini and corn fritters with smoked salmon and poached egg which was a very generous serving (fabulous for the price) and Em had the avocado smash with poached egg and feta. Both agreed the meals were delish and definitely wanted come back and try a few more of the menu items ????????

We came here for breakfast as you can see. Again, I went for smashed avocado... I should start switching it around for review purposes. M had the big brekkie. It's your standard cafe food nothing to complain about and yummy smoothies which are perfect for the Brisbane heat.

Really friendly staff. We had breakfast here. Its improved alot from 10 years ago. The coffee is great get the mug, its a normal sized cup! Breakfast was nice, everything came out quickly, nice seating, high chairs. However it is a bit pricey especially when you add some extras to your meal
