Reviews Brendan's Cafe On The Goodwill Bridge

Really wonderful! Great coffee, great staff, great views. We had a small function hosted here and Brendan and Aaron were incredibly helpful. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Well, what a venue for a start. Then the lovely Merlo coffee, yum! Brendan and his vibrant staff were all smiles, attentive, and friendly. Thanks Brendan for giving our tour guides a very informative morning on the bridge. We will be back!

I love coming here on my walks and watching the world go by. The cafe has great coffee, the staff are awesome, music Rocks and the owner always remembers me. Best gathering spot in brisbane. The Views are magical too.

Phenomenal service, views and coffee! Great for locals and for showing off the river to visitors. Great owner and staff.

Awesome spot. Almond cappuccino delish. Staff so polite and professional. Real gem of a place.

Best morning coffee in Brisbane with spectacular views & amazing service�

Great coffee, great view, chill music and beautiful cup design <3

I’ve only been for coffee but I like
the dude that makes it. He’s so lovely and always up for a bit of banter. Coffee is good considering he doesn’t have a controlled climate.

Now you could open a cafe in a location like this and just be mediocre and still survive, but these guys are many steps above that.

They have the perfect formula. Not only is the coffee fantastic and the food amazing (there’s always a selection of home-made treats), Brendon and the staff are always friendly. And of course there is the view. What a location! These guys are part of the fabric of Brisbane.

Great coffee. After a few great finds and many disappointments searching for good coffee around the city, I decided to try Brendon's coffee on my way over the Goodwill Bridge. The coffee was really good! I will definitely be back!!!

Cafe on the (Goodwill) Bridge. This may perhaps be the only place to eat in Brisbane that is on the water; at the first glance it seemed odd but come to think of it this is a magnificient idea. Part-way between South Bank and the Garden's Point campus of QUT stands a small cart in one of the bridge's stop off bays; it is almost right on the water. It such a convenience for commuting students and staff members and they do some of the best coffee for anywhere in Brisbane at such affordable prices.

Weather permitting, this is such a prime location. There are lovely views of both the Central Business District and the South Bank area. Everybody is a winner in that regard, including the barista - it is the King's throne of views and atmosphere. The coffee cart is decked out; along with the coffee maker there are little snacks available at the stall, along with a slushie machine and a toaster (if you are a QUT student, you get a free slice of toast with coffee - that is too good to argue) with condiments available. It is a bazaar that happens to take the form of a coffee cart.

The man who was tending the coffee cart when I went here was exceptionally friendly, laid-back and knew how to make a sale. This guy was pointing out all the aspects and he even had a dirty chai offer on the wall (usually something you have to explain and secretly order - I might do that next time). Even when I was walking back the other way from the campus he caught me and asked what I though - I said it was a great coffee, if this is open when I have business at Garden's Point I will certainly stop here for a drink.

I got myself a double-shot cappuccino and a muffin (there was a deal for that) - a chocolate one. It was small and because of that the guy offered me a couple of Chuppa-Chups to compensate.
It was with the first sip of this cappuccino that I knew I found one of the best coffee places, it was strong and flavourful with the milk well frothed. There was literally nothing wrong with it; I enjoyed every mouthful of this wonderful concoction. Then there was the muffin, this was also pretty good. The texture was soft and cakey, as the flavour was moist with a definite chocolate taste.

Before going here, I was thinking that I must try my way around the campus' (and nearby South Bank's if need be) coffee-houses when I return to study at university. However, that journey came abruptly to an end. This place is just too good to bypass.

Considering the amount of people who break-off from the pedestrain traffic to come here is an indication - if any - of both the quality and the ellure of this place. Whoever thought of setting up the stall here is one of a clever mind.

Never said this before... EVERYONE HERE SEEMS HAPPY! The photos speak for themselves. PS Food options not gr8, but it's not what this place is about. If I had this spot, I might offer sushi à la sushi sushi, but only the takeaway style and limited choices. Only an idea. Some excellent quality GF Florentines would go down well with most people here too.

I had a great memory with Brendan’s coffee while I lived in South Bank, Brisbane. After jogging in the morning, I loved drinking cup of cappuccino sometimes eating hand made cakes. I highly recommended lemon cheese cake. 😄😄 Remembered nice river view and bright morning sun, kind and stylish person Brendan, top of cappuccino like bread and yummy cakes.

Visited Brendans Cafe this morning with my wife and ordered 2 almond milk latte’s. I must, the coffee was sensational, only trumped (this word has many meanings now) by the great personal service. Well done guys.

Good CBD end of bike ride stop. Right on the Goodwill Bridge so convenient for Botanic Gardens and Southbank. Great coffee served by very friendly and helpful staff. Worth It just for the view over the river and city. Bike crowd thins out after 8.
