Breakfast of champions. Great food good coffee. Great relaxing atmosphere. Had not been here for a while. Still the best breakfast in east Brisbane in my opinion 👌
Wow! What an awesome experience we have had at Foxy Bean these past few days. Wednesday afternoon my friend and I had the best hospitality from Gerry that we could ever imagine, complete with bubbles, the most amazing calamari and fries, Thursday morning we held our first Bob ( Business over Breakfast) club at Foxy Bean, breakfast for 14 business professionals and Thursday night drinks. The food was amazing, the staff were friendly and professional and the service was brilliant. Thanks Gerry, Tam and Ben. You out did yourselves and I am totally looking forward to a long term successful business relationship. ���
We had my husband's 40th birthday party at the Foxy, and we could not have been happier. Leading up to the event it was all organised for us (Orla is wonderful) and we did not have to worry about one thing. Service was amazing, food was perfect and the general friendliness of all staff on the night was outstanding. Highly recommend.
Amazing service, amazing food and coffee, the staff are always so nice and fast. I had a chicken schnitzel wrap for lunch yesterday and it was the most amazing wrap ever can’t wait to get another one!!
I've been here a few times for breakfast or lunch. The food is tasty, the coffee is consistently good, the staff are friendly, the ambience and music are just right and I like the choice of beers on tap.
We are from the US. We stopped here by chance. The people were friendly and congenial. The food and beer were great. A large selection of beers to choose. A very homie atmosphere. It was so good we went back again before leaving Australia. Thanks Gerry........
the roast pumpkin breaky special was delicious and plentiful. Coffees and tea well made. Not busy so service was ok. Waitress not totally familiar with menu content but not the end of the world! Would come back.
A great local place to get coffee and breakfast and the staff are lovely
Thank you to Tam and staff for an amazing day for my daughters baby shower....so easy to deal with, so organised, gorgeous area that was away from the general diners, brilliant food.
Cannot recommend the Foxy Bean highly enough if you are thinking of something like a baby shower or a bridal shower...thank you guys!!!
I don't do reviews...but this place is good! Friendly service, great coffee and the Bushman's Benedict was absolutely huge and so moreish. I'll be back
We visited for coffee and dessert just this afternoon, and while I don't add my reviews very often feel compelled to today. The staff were friendly, went above and beyond and had us feeling comfortable and welcome. The food and drinks were delicious and service timely. I don't have anything bad to say about our experience at all!
Being a long time visitor to Brisbane I've often been disappointed with the lack of really good cafes that consistently deliver.
Foxy Bean, however ticks all the boxes with happy friendly staff, great coffees and really good food.
Only visit for breakfasts when the occasion suits and always leave happy.
I’ve been coming to the Foxy sporadically for about six years. Never disappointed. Food is always fantastic. The settings are interesting and kooky. Sometimes the service is a bit slow, but it’s busy on the weekends so that’s fair enough.
It’s near the Gabba and you can walk to games easily.
Parking can be a bit tricky so be prepared that you may have to walk a little bit.
They also have a liquor licence (but I’ve never been for a drink...)
We visited this cafe for breakfast.
It’s a nice cafe but very noisy.
Staff are nice and friendly. The service was a bit slow. We had our coffees in a short time and I love the cappuccino. It was beautiful. Breakfast was nice too.
I would give 4.5/5 for food, 5/5 for staff and 3/5 for the place. I don’t know what happened to the App that I can’t choose 3.5 and the rating is only in whole numbers.
We enjoyed a lovely brunch here today. Staff were friendly, drinks and meals were ordered and delivered in a timely manner. There was a slight issue with one of our news however when we reluctantly mentioned it to the staff upon paying, they quickly responded by taking the price of that meal off our bill! You don't get that much these days! Will definitely come back again :) delish food, relaxed atmosphere and wonderful staff.
I found this place on Zomato. Great coffee hit to start a family motorbike ride to Byron for father's day. Will come back for sure and try the dinner menu.
I came here with a friend for her birthday and we both had an awesome experience. The food was outstanding and the customer service was amazing. I wanted to show my partner so I returned the following week and it still met my expectations!
Enjoyed our lunch here. I especially like how they took care of the food they delivered to customers. The onions in the burger were fried and tasted good. The pickles in the burger tasted good too but not too strong in flavour. Each ingredient in the burger balanced well. We rated the burger 4.5-5/5. The calamari had was fresh and all the vegetables in the salad were marinated with sauce and cut in a suitable size. This dish was rated 4/5. The other dish with avocado and sour dough was pretty average but generous in proportion, which was rated 3.5/5 by us. The coffee we had was average not impressive though. Service was pretty good and overall it is a place we'd like to recommend and go back.
We've been here for brunch on a weekday twice. The coffee mugs are huge and taste great. There's also not many people late in the morning, so go then if you need some quiet. Eggs on toast is perfect and the big breakfast is just enough. The place itself is cute, though the inside is a bit too dimly lit for me and the tables outside have been sticky from the alcohol. Otherwise, totally recommend.
A close friend recently changed jobs and started working at Woolloongabba, being a new local in the area, he was able to give me quite a few good tips on where to find good food nearby. With that in mind, one of the first things he texted me when he got there was that Foxy Bean was a definite must go, so off I went for a weekend brunch. Deciding to stroll there from the Mater Hill station seemed to be an easy feat when loking on google maps, but the hike turned out to be far more intense than I had thought.
Came here for Friday night drinks with my partner. Lots of room, especially the outdoors lounge out at the back. Excellent drinks selection. Our waitress was bubbly and made us feel extremely welcome. An excellent option for pre-dinner drinks. Will be back for more, and perhaps try the food too.
CHAPTER II: Finally returned for some breakfast with my partner. Had the 'Bushman's Benedict' and 'Banana Scallops'. Highly recommend both for those favouring savoury and sweet respectively. Good portions and full of flavour! Would love to have tried a breakfast cocktail too, if we weren't working that afternoon. Service was friendly and efficient. Foxy Bean may well and truly be a new Gabba favourite!
Had the pulled pork and beef cheek with poached eggs. What a filling breakfast! Also tried out the waffles. Couldn't really taste the mint or sweet potato in it!
Have been here twice for breakfast with my partner and we loved it on both occasions. In fact, we loved it so much on the first thar we both order the exact same meals on the second! The falafel meal for myself (with added feta which I definitely recommend!), and the big breakfast for my birthday partner. Yummy milkshakes also!
The second visit we came at around 7am on a Saturday morning; I'd recommend heading in early as it can get quite busy!
Fantastic atmosphere and incredible coffee. We went there with friends for my wife's birthday and without saying a word the manager bought out a bottle of champagne for us all on the house. We would definitely recommend this great cafe!
I've been here's few times for breakfast and I've really enjoyed it - many options available and all are cooked extremely well. The tomato chutney they give as a side for many of their breakfast dishes is absolutely delicious! I would give a higher rating, except on the occasion I went for lunch and tried one of their burgers it was quite greasy - I consider myself a burger eater and even by my standards this was a little too oily. On another positive note, the wait staff are very friendly and the Irish manager brings a lively atmosphere to the place. Overall Foxy Bean offers a pleasant dining experience.
Each and every one of the 5 dishes we ordered at breakfast were AMAZING. Great staff and 5/5 coffee. Such nice decor and great music selection too.
Went here for a late breakfast on Monday with a friend and her little girl. The place was busy with dine-ins and takeaways but service was quick and the wait time on both food and drinks was really fast! The feta and zucchini fritters are simply amazing and the mango smoothie was such a good serving and cold!! Great atmosphere and I'll be back.
Breakfast is pretty good and menu gives lots of options. Service is friendly. Nice atmosphere albeit a bit warm out the back. Recommended to anyone and I'll be back.
Nice casual feel. Coffee great. Frappe very refreshing. Enjoyed breakfast. Variety in breakfast menu good. Good service. Food came out pretty quickly. Comfy seating.
Recently only just discovered this from my usual coffee place. I am really glad I found it!!! The coffee here is excellent even when it's compared to some of the tough breakfast competitors within this area. Their breakfast is also very good! A great atmosphere for those wanting to enjoy a good cuppa!
I want to love this place - it's big, relaxed, and local. The problem is that the menu needs a bit of work in terms of variety and pricing. The French toast is excellent and the scrambled eggs with bacon a staple. If they threw in a few more options in the $15 bracket and a few more complex dishes, they would have a cracker of a brekkie venue.
This café located not far from the Smug Fig. I was attracted by its deco when I first stepped in the dining area. Friendly waitress efficiently took my drink order and left me to have a perusal on the menu. Ordered the Chorizo Peperonata and it came with a large portions. Love the coffee because Genovese coffee is one of my favourites. Poached eggs were perfectly done and the mixed capsicums with chorizo was another surprised to me. Although it seemed slightly greasy, the toasted Turkish bread underneath the stack absorbed them all. Overall, it was a pleasant breakfast.
A really nice interior with plenty of room and a great vibe. There's a lot of competition for brunch in the Gabba but Foxy Bean is one of the best. They've got just about the best bacon going around and the halloumi bruschetta is a stand out. The coffee, juices, and smoothies are also excellent.
We held my husbands 50th Birthday Party here in January and we were soo impressed with the service, food, price and hospitality of the staff and the manager Tam. Nothing was too much trouble and they were very accommodating with my requests. Our guests haven't stopped telling us what a fabulous night it was and how fantastic the venue was.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the Foxy Bean to anyone who needs a nice little funky venue to host a function.
A great little spot of brunch with efficient service. I tried the bushmans Benedict which was a nice change to the traditional. I can see myself coming back for lunch or dinner when I run out of Brisbane locations to eat in.
Can't go past the Bushmans Benedict! Comboed with a smoothie (which are Devine I must say) foxy bean needs to be on everyone's must visit list!
Good little venue with great/friendly staff!
Foxy Bean is my favourite place to take my loved ones for brunch. The coffee is great and food is amazing. The menu is rather familiar but each dish has a little bit of exciting twist. My favourite so far was the salmon hash cakes on special menu.
The coffee at Foxy Bean was one of the best I've had in Brisbane, so good I got two. Unfortunately both took a very long time to arrive (the staff did acknowledge this and kindly comped my second coffee). Also dawdled a bit with our breakfast - 40mins is a long time to wait for pre-noon food. Luckily a friend was back from interstate and we had lots to catch up on.Â
My eggs benedict was perfectly adequate with nicely poached eggs. A couple of minor quibbles (as by that time I had near spectacular expectations), the hollandaise sauce was a tad too vinegary and the single slice of sourdough it was served on could have frankly been bigger. Or thicker. I noticed my friends both received generous portions, so likely just got the pointy end of the loaf. Sad face. I like bread.Â
Overall, props for the fantastic coffee and good service. Wouldn't recommend if you're in a hurry.
A small wait on a Sunday, but expertly managed by staff (taking names, coming back with regular updates), people never mind waiting a little bit if someone keeps you in the loop! very attentive wait staff, a nice change to be honest. had the bubble n squeak and all Delish! Great brekky spot and we will be back 😀
Excellent feed for Sunday brunch. Great value and super tasty. Had "The Business" , all was cooked to order. Coffee was delicious also. Great service, will be back for more!
Absolutely love the Foxy Bean. Such a good choice of brunch options and there's an awesome beer garden out the back for a lazy Sunday brunch. The service is fast for such a big place and the meals are delicious.
Can't say I give out 5's very often but this place deserves every bit of it. It has a great outdoor enclosed eating area out the back which is definitely the place to be. We went here for brunch and the food and coffee were both perfect. Service was friendly and quick and the prices were great for what you get. Funky atmosphere in the cafe and will definitely go back here again. I can't deduct for this but would love to see the Vegetarian Big Brekky return or even the Haloumi Brekky that used to be on the menu!
I have been here for breakfast and dinner and enjoyed both. Great for a casual drink in the afternoon and tapas is nice. Breakfast portion sizes are quite large. Service is good.
Love this place. Great atmosphere, tasty food and beautifully made coffee. Good service even when they are busy. Best place for a weekend brekkie/brunch in Brisbane.
Favourite place in Brisbane. Foxy Bean is a such a delight! It's my favourite cafe in Brisbane and I know I'm always going to get a great meal with friendly service. I am there for breakfast most weekends and it never fails to put a smile on my face! Coffee is delicious (they use Bonsoy- my favourite!!!) and atmosphere is relaxed and hip. I recommend it to everyone I know! Never fails to disappoint :)
What at absolute gem! Visite.... What an absolute gem! Visited this cafe in our neighborhood for brekky and food was gorgeous and delicious! Even just looking at our neighboring cafe goers meal was mouth watering. The restaurant itself is cosy and inviting, quirky and funky in some areas but still managing to pull off the cute. A private function here would be ideal for any occasion. Staff were also attentive and not once did we need to get anyone's attention. Would love to come back for lunch and dinner. Keep up the good work!

Love this place! coffee was fast and good(although a little lukewarm) and the breakfast menu is so good it's hard to choose what to go for! definitely be back after discovering this little gem today!
Great service, great good. The food and coffee is consistently good at foxy. Very popular on a Saturday and Sunday morning because of this. We have tried plenty of other breakfast spots but always come back to foxy. Staff are always friendly and efficient.
Great venue. Delicious food. Fantastic service. Lovely wine selection.
We always really enjoy going to foxy bean. its just such a good brekky place. tasty food... reasonably priced, the weekends are always busy that makes for a lively atmosphere, where you can just sit back and enjoy the coffee while waiting for the food to arrive.
Consistently Great!. One of my favourite breakfast spots, good coffee, good service, good food and fair prices.
Love It!. Foxy Bean is always great for a late breakfast, and I always make the point of going here whenever family comes to visit. Delicious relish that makes avocado with poached eggs to die for!
Great, friendly staff that must have a hard time dealing with so many customers! Usually busy, but I don't mind waiting 5 or 10 minutes to get a seat when the food is this good!
Memorable 21st Birthday. Recently had my 21st birthday in the inside area of the Foxy Bean. I could not be happier with the service received. The staff were friendly and always communicating with me and the food was delicious. Plenty to go around and left everyone full. Overall a great atmosphere. :)
Good, big breakfast and nice coffee. Very fast service and great atmosphere. Only downside is lack of parking, but that's Brisbane!

Wow! Thanks so much for a wonderful breakfast. Coffee - perfect (really!).. Food great. And nice to visit a Brisbane cafe with great service - greeted with massive smiles by no less than three staff on arrival. Food and coffees all very fast despite being busy on a Sunday morning. Look forward to visiting again.
I really like this place. The venue is eclectic and comfortable and the staff are friendly and professional. We ordered toast and peanut butter for our daughter and it was such a generous serve and the bread was gorgeous. My Haloumi breakfast was tasty with lovely dressing and also generous was my husband's 'The Business' breakfast. Highly recommend this place.
Love it.. Consistently an enjoyable experience whether for a takeaway coffee, a sit down with friends over a meal, or to listen to some great live music. Great coffee, friendly staff and lively atmosphere.
Great gondola and iced coffee ! Very friendly staff too. Love the little Stanley street cafe corner. Will be back
Flipping amazing dinner & cabaret show, every bit of food is excellent. Well done. Every time this place is amazing !!
Great service. Great atmosphere. Yummy cakes and juices
Favourite breakfast venue in Brisbane. I've only been here for breakfast, but this place continues to deliver excellent quality food with great service. With a menu catering for all tastes, it's a hard choice every time knowing what great food will come out of the kitchen. The quality of produce is exceptional. Despite having to wait for tables during busy periods over the weekend, the staff manage a wait list so quickly and efficiently that it's never an issue. It's lovely and cool inside on a hot day with the high ceilings and lovely decor. I am very impressed!
Really cool interior. Brunch was so delicious! Would also be great for Sunday drinks in their outside area at the back. Will be back!
Great food and coffee with a very unique decor. Have been several times now and always impressed.
Coffee like....baked eggs meh. Went there Saturday morning for a friend catch up. There were 6 of us and although I had to park a few streets away (the exercise was good for a sat morning) we were seated pretty quickly. Waitress was quick to take our orders and the food was delivered in good time and all together. My coffee was nice and hot but unfortunately I just didnt feel it with the baked eggs. Baked in a lovely little cast iron pot with chirizo, mushrooms, onions and sweet potato, but it just lacked seasoning, spice.. it lacked punch. I wouldnt order the baked eggs again but my friends savoury mince certainly looked the treat. FYI it also gets very hot outside with no fans, would I go back again?? Possibly but im not in a rush
Mobile Review. Lovely n relaxed emvironment, very dog friendly , will keep coming back for sure !
Always Good. We come here for breakfast almost every week. I never get tired of ordering the Eggs Benny. The food and service are consistently good. We occasionally try other places but find ourselves coming back time and time again.
Foxy Bean is a busy noisy cafe that serves great coffee and fab food.
Their breakfast menu is inspired and delish. All the usual options are there too as well as gluten free and vegetarian options.
Service is quick, friendly.
They're always busy but you never feel rushed.
We love Foxys - it's our favourite suburban cafe for breakfast...
-----23 Nov, 2013-----
This great little place had doubled in size over the last couple of years.
Unfortunately parking in the area has worsened.
They do an excellent breakfast but of course you can't book so after the stress of parking you have to stand on the footpath waiting for a table.
Late morning is best- crowds have cleared, no wait and it's all generally more pleasant.
Food is great/ interesting breakfast choices, very good coffee.
Definitely the place if you aren't in a rush and can go a little later in the morning for brunch!
Friendly staff, huge comfy sofa!
Stunning... decor is beautiful, very friendly relaxed down to earth vibe. Food & coffee both excellent and staff couldn't have been more friendly or efficient. Best Saturday breakfast we've ever had in Brisbane (out of many). Will definitely remember this one!
Went here for the first time this weekend. Loved it so much I went again Sunday!
Great atmosphere, friendly staff, dog-friendly! Food is a bit pricey and there is a little wait for your food but again, because of the atmosphere, I didn't really notice the wait.
YES!. I go here almost every Sunday or Saturday morning!
Worth every cent spent here!!! Honestly, If you're looking for a GOOD breakfast you need to try out the Foxy Bean!
Go the bushman's benny with a coffee to your liking and your weekend will be smooth sailing from then on!!
My husband labelled this place "the best breakfast he has had in years"...great food, great service and I love the decor! Had a little mishap with our juices and without saying a thing there was no charge on our bill, service at its best :)
Friendly, efficient, & delicious breakfast!
We will be back... We had a lovely brunch on a busy Saturday with our toddler (which can be a challenge) We were made to feel very welcome & staff, food & coffee were GREAT!
Great Breaky.. Went early on a Friday morning and found the venue quiet and excellent service. Great setup and service. Coffee served in a flash as well as baby cino. I tried the B Benny which to be honest thought was bordering on TOO big, I did however eat the lot!. Wife loved the granola and our 2 year devoured her poached egg, ate some of mine and sourdough extra. Will return
Absolutely gorgeous . The atmosphere is superb. Food creative and fun.
Really really good food, nice service, great coffee, awesome atmosphere! Definitely worth coming back
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Oustanding service and great food!. My partner and I went to Foxy Bean for breakfast last Saturday. The food was fantastic! I had the savoury mince and my partner had the eggs benedict with foxy beans. Yum! Very generous portions as well. It has a wonderful atmosphere out the back under the covered pergola.
In terms of service, I have to give a special mention to Jerry. He is one of the nicest people I've ever met in the service industry! I had a bit of a daft moment at breakfast and ended up leaving some orthdontic invisalign plates wrapped up in a napkin on my table which obviously got thrown in the bin after I left! I remembered about 45mins later and when I went back in to look for them Jerry helped me wade through rubbish bags out the back until we found them. What a star! I can't think of any other place that would actually stop to help me like that during it's peak breakfast rush, let alone wading through rubbish bags! Everyone at Foxy Bean is so genuine and makes you feel relaxed and welcome, something that is increasingly rare at food establishments these days. We will definitely be making it one of our regular spots.
Fantastic food and fabulous service!!! Absolutely love this place!
This place is fabulous. Great food, great atmosphere and great service. The cheese platter and mussels are to die for! If you're looking for amazing tapas, wine list and cocktails this is the place to be.

Service was quick, but our request for icecream forgotten. The food wasn’t bad, but wasn’t fantastic either. The coffee was only just warm.. One too many disappointments for us to warrant returning.
Update: Second experience was much better, although we didn’t try the coffee again. Staff were still a bit slow but what we assumed was the owner was very prompt on our drinks! 👌
This cafe is such a good place to go for breakfast. The food was amazing, it may be pricey but it is worth the money. The staff here was so friendly and the service was great. This cafe has a great old fashioned vibe. Can definitely say it's the best eggs Benedict in Brisbane
Came here on a Saturday morning, just before midday. Got a table easily and the staff attended to the table pretty quickly. Breakfast meal and coffee were tasty. Only criticism was that I ordered some poached eggs with breakfast and one was perfectly cooked and the other was well done. Consistency was a bit strange. Otherwise good experience - nice decor, attentive staff and good food.
With, The Gabba Cafe Wars, in full swing, you still cannot beat one of the long lived very originals, The Foxy Bean. Great menu, great coffee, great staff, great space, just a great vibe about it all round. After 22 years of living and operating my business in The Gabba, I've seen so many cafes, come and go, or operate with a revolving door of owners and name changes. Gerry and his authentically ever upbeat team always please. The new spring menu has many delicious offerings, try the Spanish Fried Rice for breakfast :-)! Highly recommended

Give this venue a whirl as the food is great. Decent coffee and great service. The interior takes you to another world with great wall art and a quirky Devore.
Funky atmosphere especially around dinner time . . . the Chef seemed like a genuine fellow . . . makes me feel good about the food he creates . . . also, my 3yo son loved discovering all the little unique areas which made our experience less stressful.
Nice cafe, food is nothing fancy, but solid, little on the pricy side. Eggs Benny was good for my hangover 😪
