the best
breakfast
A GUIDE TO
IN BRISBANE
1
For years we have been told that breakfast is the most important meal of
the day. For me, this is more than a good enough reason to treat myself to
some of the best breakfasts that Brisbane has to offer – after all, I’m just
looking after my health. While some days breakfast becomes lunch, or in
the rush to make it to class on time a coffee must suffice, if you’re ever
looking for a tasty start to your day, here are my top five breakfast spots.
Alcove Café + Deli Wilston
Alcove is a quirky little café located in
Wilston Village (a five-minute drive from
Kelvin Grove). While a hidden gem to most,
Alcove is well known by the locals and
often has customers spilling out on to the
foot path. My go to dish is the avo smash
with poached eggs, haloumi and bacon –
this favourite is yet to disappoint.
Naim

formerly known as Shouk Café
Shouk Café in Paddington has recently
undertaken some rebranding and is now
known as Naim. This Middle-Eastern
inspired café in Collingwood Street is very
popular with Bri ssy hipsters and foodies and
rightly so. They may have recently wiped the
latke stack from their breakfast menu, but
the pumpkin and haloumi has remained
and is just as scrumptious as ever, just don’t
eat too much of the spicy paste.
Chapter IV Paddington

Only a short walk from Naim is Chapter IV,
a beautiful rustic cottage café with stunning
views from the rear balcony over the hilly
streets of Paddington. If eggs benedict is your
thing, then look no further for the best eggs
benny I am yet to find in Brisbane. With your
choice of ham, maple-cured bacon, smoked
salmon, field mushrooms or haloumi, this
dish always lives up to expectations.
The Pantry
The pantry is situated in Old Government
House at Garden’s Point and has been
given the title of the number one on campus
breakfast hot spot. With great dining options
on campus like the Pantry, there really is no
excuse to skip breakfast anymore. Whether
you’re after a muffin and a great coffee or
eggs and avo smash on sourdough, the
pantry caters to everyone… and if you find
yourself at Kelvin Grove, check out their
sister store Brewed Awakening.
Charlie’s Raw Squeeze
4
If you’re after arguably the best acai bowl
in Brisbane then head to Charlie’s located
in Everton Park and Stones Corner. This
vegan friendly store is renowned for their
fresh produce and delicious squeeze bowls.
Charlie’s not only offers acai bowls but also
snickers bowls, bounty bowls, mango bowls
and a whole range of healthy and delectable
options. Not to mention you can also pick up
your fruit and veggies while you’re there.
