Needing some respite from the glaring heat I have a pit stop at Flute. I am warmly greeted on arrival and I ask for a Cappuccino as I seat myself in this tastefully decorated Cafe. My coffee is served hot and strong, just the way I like it. I enjoy this flavoursome coffee to the last drop! The friendly wait staff and adept Barista are a great team. Thank you guys!
What a heavy breakfast the family of 3 had!! Eggs benny were a treat to me and the toast and avocado with sour cream along with bacon were great too. Mind you it’s crowded till midday over the weekends.
Oh Flute. It’s been a while. Went there for a somewhat enjoyable breakfast with my GF (apple of my eye).
While I appreciate the decadence and concept of the meals, there isn’t enough fresh items to counterbalance the flavours. The truffled eggs were intense and in an enormous portion. The scones were delicious.
The good points were it’s different, well priced and great value and good service.
Very nice breakfast with generous servings. Hot chocolates (both white and dark) were very good. The staff were very friendly and attentive.
My friend Benny was staying from Bundy and we were looking for somewhere for breakfast. I saw the truffle and it was love at first sight. There’s an interesting atmosphere, it’s quite quiet and one side is very clean and minimal while the other is busy and luxurious, all in a small space.
Went for lunch - menu selection was very impressive and the food was amazing, particularly the calamari. The service was also very good with friendly, attentive staff. The best dining experience I've had in a while.
Lovely afternoon spent at this little gem. It's nice how the staff don't try to push you out the door and just let you enjoy a leisurely lunch. Had the chicken Caesar baguette. They don't do substitutions but still accommodate for allergies. Friends tried the nudie burger which apparently was amazing, and the salmon and avocado stack which was filling but refreshing. The drinks over ice were very generous in size. Only one size for takeaway cups. Staff very friendly and attentive.
I read the review and went to try this place yesterday. Staff were very friendly and I can't fault the service. We ordered a spicy chorizo and a bacon & egg with couscous wrap. They were very tasty. It was a very warm day and the aircon in the restaurant definitely helped. This place is worthy of a second visit.
I went to the Flute Fine Foods along the Cavendish Road not the Flute near the Woolworth. It is very much appreciated that they start trading so early in the morning on Sunday. Took a seat at the al fresco dinning area and I was the third table at that moment. Service is fantastic friendly. I ordered the flat white and Scones for the brekkie. Wow! I love the coffee cup that they are serving although it is not quite user-friendly when the coffee is hot. Strength and presentation of coffee are definitely above average. Hero should be the scones that I have not had so satisfied scones for a while and they served the best. The two golden color scones with soft content perfectly matched with the double cream and the fresh berries. Again, taste and presentation are all on the top of the hill....all together only charged $10.50...Wow! it made my day! Highly recommended!
I've been here a few times and I am always happy with the food and attentive service. The avocado plate is delicious and the scones are the best I've had- they come with vanilla cream and berries.
Having recently moved into a nearby street Flute is our local cafe. This was our second visit in a month: once for breakfast and then for lunch.
The decor and ambience is fresh and modern.
A friendly greeting and options of where to sit, water and menus appear instantly.
Coffee is very good.
Breakfast and lunch options are fresh and innovative.
On our lunch visit two of us had the Vietnamese pork belly roll- oh my word- a huge meal and delicious.
My husband loved his bacon sarny....
Highlight was the home made lemonade which was tangy and refreshing on a very hot summer day.
Looking forward to our next visit.
Always excellent, nothing else to be said. Servings are generous, I rarely finish everything on my plate. Probably the best scones in Brisbane and the truffled scrambled eggs are to die for. The staff are always pleasant and ready to help with dietary requirements as needed. My go-to spot for showing off Southside Breaky to friends!
Awsome food and service. Had a very nice waiter named Brandon. Would deffinately recommend this place. Well priced aswell. Huge compliments to the chefs.
Went for breakfast Saturday morning. We arrived at the perfect time. This place is very popular. There was a line up by the time I left. Had the bacon sandwich with parmesan colesaw. The food was very good. I will definitely go back.
Flute is a great little treasure in Coorparoo. We had breakfast at 8am on a Sunday morning and it wasn't too busy. By 9.30 there was a long line of people waiting to be seated. The menu had changed from the last time I had came here. It was good to see the different options of breakfast items on the menu. Staff, food and service was excellent. Overall a great dining experience (ps there shakes are deadly... Delicious)
Beautiful little cafe / restaurant for some breakfast. We popped by on a busy Saturday morning and were seated within a minute without having made a booking. Service was quick and efficient.
I noticed that eat in and takeaway prices were different. I'd hazard a guess and put it down to serving sizes, because my chorizo and scrambled egg breakfast was MASSIVE. Whilst delicious, the butter knife provided was barely enough to cut through the chorizo skin. Granted, I did manage to get a free upper arm workout.
You'll have no #treble @flutecoorparoo finding a great Thickshake. Their thickness and flavour were music to my tastebuds. While my Thickshake was a solo act it could easily be a duet. Standing ovation, take a bow. #thickandthedead #thickshake #thickshakes #treble #peanutbutter #tastebuds #solo #duet #standingovation #live #unplugged #yazzflute #eatwithaspoon
Had the signature brekky and simple fare (bacon, eggs, turkish pide) with extra avo with coriander and lime and both dishes were sooo good! The place is beautiful too
Arranged to meet a great client of mine at Flute to celebrate the launch of their website. Flute have not yet got their licence but were so accommodating with my BYO and made our lunch meeting a really enjoyable - thank you. Food, coffee and services is great.
Had lunch here which was overall good. The steak sandwich was very nice and the steak was cooked very well however it was very difficult to eat since it was a very tall burger so I had to take some filling out.
Also ordered the chocolate chip cookie shake which was very big and tasty!
Fab food and amazing shakes. Lose half a star because they don't split the bill. Highly recommend as a great spot to have an informal meal with friends.
Their shakes 🙌🏼 so good 🙌🏼 sso large 🙌🏼 i reckon id could share one with a girlfriend if we went again. As well as the food. For what the price is, they definitely give you a lot of value. I usually always finish whats in my plate but i really couldnt. Eggs and bacon were yum! Brownie shake was the beeest
Outstanding!. Had breakfast here this morning. The very best breakfast dining experience I've had in a very long time. The staff, whilst all young were impeccably groomed, courteous and patient and the food was amazing, hot, delivered quickly and reasonably priced. The queue to get in grew to be quite long while we were eating but the staff didn't hurry anyone and we witnessed tables being meticulously cleaned before new customers were shown to vacant tables. The patrons must have thought it worth the wait too because the place next door could have accommodated those waiting but everyone chose to stay in the line. I would rate this 10 stars if I could. Well done Flute. We will be back very soon.
Came here for brunch on a Saturday. Got a table out side, was a bit fancier than I anticipated. Great service, a bit expensive but food was good. I had the salt and pepper squid which was really delicious, partner had the prosciutto plate which looked pretty dismal but was actually really tasty and he enjoyed it a lot. Would go back!
I was almost deterred from visiting due to all the negative reviews, but luckily I decided to go and make up my own mind. I was greeted by a friendly staff member at the door who gave me an option of eating alfresco or inside, I chose the latter. Making good use of black and white patterns, Flute creates a simple, clean, yet striking aesthetic. We were served by obsequious staff, who delivered our meals in a timely manner. I ordered the mushroom pasta, the portion was generous and was tasty. The peanut butter and salted caramel shake (which was more of a sundae!), was incredible, albeit far too decadent even for this sweet tooth!
Sorry the changes were not so visible. Regular maintenance is very much a part of our focus. And no we are not moving but are very excited to open another Flute.
Our Favourite. Always excellent service, delicious and generous menu and the best baby cinos for the kids.
Good portion sizes.. I had the signature breakfast, which had everything bar the kitchen sink thrown in. It was massive and at $22 it should be. I had a jumbo cappuccino, which could have doubled for a soup bowl. My observations; the service in this place is like clockwork and very efficient, however I didn't feel the love. I found the surroundings a little cramped and sterile. Having said that I left very satisfied and would return.

Great menu! Always leave feeling satisfied!
The only disappointment is it takes forever to get a table. With their constant success, they should really try extending their footpath space to Infront of the fish & chip shop on a Saturday morning.
Happy customer. Had lunch there yesterday: it was absolutely gorgeous. I had the chicken and haloumi: chicken was fall-apart tender, haloumi was lightly crunchy and salad had a lovely honey dressing (least it seems that way). My friends had the crab lasage and fishcakes of some sort. Both raved about their meals. All washe down with a NZ Pinot Gris that I went out of my way later to find at Dan Murphys. Service was efficient and unobstrusive. The fleecy blankets provided for those who sit at the outside tables were divine on a chilly day. Will definitely be returning.
Great food. I went here for a quick brunch. I had the salt and pepper calamari. It was fantastic!! An amazing meal. The coffee was average. The service excellent especially given it was very busy.
Loved this cafe!! We had to wait in line for 20 mins or so (which I generally don't like to do - for food) however they communicated with us the whole time giving us an indication of how much longer we would be waiting etc. The pressure the staff must've been under on a Sunday morning, long weekend would've been immense but they were brilliant! The food!!! Ohhhh... Fantastic! Presentation was beautiful taste, even better. Generous servings... I had to take the rest if mine home in a doggie bag for later it was so delish! Definetly one to go back to!! Thanks Flute... Had a fab morning at your place.
AMAZING. Went there with a friend. Had the peanut butter and chocolate milkshake: delicious! The Turkish board was to die for, everything was so good. I moved to Melbourne now and I am still craving for some of their peanut butter milshake
Very impressed by the look of the food going out here, unfortunately only had time for coffee. Will have to return to sample their interesting yet simple breakfast menu. The coffee was full on strength with an interesting aroma. Reminded me of coffee I have drank in Morocco & Turkey, very smooth & lingering
Great flavour combinations. Three different meals, same response - beautiful! Lovely produce, perfectly cooked.
Sweetness all round. A returning customer to Flute, everytime is an enjoyable experience. On our last visit we had to wait for a table but it was well worth it. We ordered the pancakes and omelette and mochas and it was worth it. We had to pour the chocolate into our massive mocha cups, but its a super sweet and delightful bean. Our meals came shortly after, and again were massive portions - I couldn't finish the omelette as it was quite dense; and the pancakes were soft fluffy with sorbet. There was alot of customers, which at time was difficult to hear our own conversation, but the service cannot be faulted in anyway, all the waiters are really welcoming and accommodating, they even provide a little treat to every coffee they serve. Great service and food, a unique experience that's recommended.
BEST BREKKIE IN BRISBANE. I LOVE this place. I have to drive 30 mins to get here but well worth it. Food is well priced, portion size generous.
Peanut Butter and Chocolate people out there - MUST TRY the peanut butter and chocolate thick shake, best in town.
Awsome Service was good and.... Awsome
Service was good and fast despite full house and many queuing to get a table.
I will say a value for money
A better breakfast than a typical big breakfast
We had a wonderful lunch at Flute. I asked for the haloumi and chicken salad to be made vegetarian. Many places simply leave the meat out but Flute added extra haloumi. It was very filling. I'm glad I didn't order tortillas with it (which is an option) as it would have been too much. My partner raved about his smoked salmon fish cakes which were bursting with flavour. We ordered chips on the side to share. They were hand cut, perfectly cooked and came Dutch style (with a mild mayonnaise). The food was perfect and was washed down nicely with a glass of bubbles. We stayed for a coffee and didn't feel hurried. Lovely!
Found the staff very friendly and professional. Very good price for quality food. Crab lasagne is the best ever. Love this place.
Best Brisbane Breakfast. I am slowly becoming a regular at Flute.
Each time I go its fantastic. There's normally a short wait for a table as they're so popular but its so worth it! While you're waiting the staff are always nice and considerate to you. The manager also makes an effort to get to know his customers while they wait.
I always opt for a seat outside as inside the noise from customers and the kitchen echoes a little.
I am yet to venture past the Signature Brekky. Its simply divine! Its a little more expensive than normal but its certainly worth it given the portion sizes; and the coffee. Such great coffee.
See you next week Flute! :)
My all time favourite. Every time we are off to Flute I know we will have a fabulous meal. Their sand crab lasagna is the best anywhere. The atmosphere, staff and food are consistently great. For a suburban restaurant it is unbeatable.
8/10. The food here tastes and looks incredible but is a little over priced for what you great. If you're a coffee lover you cannot go past the caramel latte, it is to die for.
We always enjoy our breakfast here..
Great food and friendly service .
Great!. Had the salmon fish cakes for breakfast. Delicious and well priced. Also lovely service, will be going back!
Absolutely delicious! Cannot say enough good things. We ordered the avocado plate and the pancakes with fairy floss as well as a cappuccino and a smoothie. All were so beautifully presented and tasted amazing!
Highly recommend this place.
Flute you beaut. The food here is Devine! and the service is excellent, I go there regularly but my favourite meal by far is the salmon and avocado pasta. its just superb
One of just most favorite restaurant by far. Have always had great meals there. Love the signature breakfast and the hot Chocs. Might have to wait another to get in depending on the time u get there but worth it.
Awesome foood and service. The best breakfast in town...!! along with best Mocha and hot chocolate.
Complete brekfast is a smasher.
Greek / spanish breakky too worth mentioning as they were fantastic,.
Special mention to the staff they were very nice and accomodating.
Amazing!! Even though they were busy we had a table in 5 minutes, our coffees straight away and our delicious meals 15 minutes later. The service was brilliant too, very attentive and courteous. Hats off - you've made it into my Top 5 Brissy Breaky picks!
Fantastic food. Hubby and I went for lunch on a weekday. Service was excellent, and the food exceptional - we ordered the sandcrab lasagne and the salt and pepper squid. The only down-side for us was the "ladies who lunch" and "mums n bubs in the burbs" clientele around us. It seemed very much a place to "be seen to be eating". We have young children ourselves (who weren't with us however), but that day we didn't feel like we fitted in. The close proximity of the seating meant that we overheard everyone else's conversation. I would come back, but probably reserve the table at the back.
Just desserts. Mrs yumster and I spent a decadent hour this afternoon with a couple of Flute's desserts accompanied by glasses of wine. For $10 each the desserts are excellent - we enjoyed the vanilla creme brulee and warm dark chocolate brownie. Glasses of sparkling pinot chardonnay went down really well.
The staff were attentive, warm and friendly. All in all, a very pleasant experience.
Flute Fine Food - Coorparoo, Brisbane. Going here witih my dining buddy, it looked nigh on impossible to get a table - the carpark out front was packed (side streets can be useful at these times). It was a Saturday morning around 8am and already business was going strong. There were a couple of tables here and it was off to a fantastic meal.
This place is designed kind of like a diner. there is the continuous, cushioned booth seat on the diner side of the establishment and the counter seats for solo diners. There is none of the sloppy or shabby implications here and they even have an outdoor options for dining. However, because of this being busy it is getting what table you can get when you can get it - so it was inside.
It has one of the best uses of such a small amount of space I have seen.
Service here is good, and by that I mean *really* good - there is no procrastinating from the waitstaff. They work like clockwork, using iPads to take orders (and that is actually an innovative idea) and even have to hurry patrons who are near done to allow for more people to come in. Bonus points for doing that all with a friendly manner.
Hell, I got a couple of phone calls during my time here and my dining buddy even had to stop them from taking away the plates in my "absence".
The meals here are not cheap, but they are not tiny either. If there was any definition of a big breakfast, then it is right here.
For starters though, I got a double shot cappuccino (or really their regular one, they even asked if I mean an extra - or triple - but I went as is) in a mug.
This cappuccino was partially the known-espresso kind but also had some of the American aspects of it as well. It came in a huge mug (needed two hands to lift it without spilling the contents). It was quite good, and it came with a couple of bits of dark chocolate.
I went for their complete breakfast which consisted of eggs either poached or scrambled (I went poached with the yolks soft), bacon, chorizo, tomato, a potato and feta pattie, lots of Turkish bread drizzled in white wine sauce and fries with ailoi on the side.
When it came out it was a sight to behold, the way they presented it all and the sheer quantity was overwhelming. With the exception of the bread and the fries, each one was piled on top of the other in a glorious pattern. I often am not one to go too much into critiquing presentation, but this gets kudos from me.
It was fantastic, the lot of it. The eggs were perefectly cooked with the yolks running into the sauce and the whites being pricked easily with a fork. As often the chorizo had that distinct strong flavour with the chewey texture that renders it not being for everybody. There was not a lot of tomato so it is hard to talk about it; the bacon was quite good as well and in a generous portion - maybe even twice as much as I am used to getting in restaurants.
The patty was really good, with the potato being kind of like a mash with the feta being thrown in to keep it interesting and preventing it from drying out.
The white wine sauce that they used was exceptional and probably the needed finish to a meal like this. Often the usual tomato or barbeque sauce cheapens it a bit. It also is more light and palatable amongst such a hefty selection.
If I might play devil's advocate, the most memorable moment was the fries. It was a small bowl, but it was substantial. They beer battered these guys and sereved it with ailoi - that combination has essentially completed the Belgian contribution to gastromoy. Also, how often to you get to have fries for breakfast?
I only had a bit of the Turkish bread, which was good but most of the sauce had already been eaten up and it was basically time to go around the time I had finished everything else.
Regardless, this place is obvious in why it is popular. In saying that, I will have to go with the consensus - it was magnificent. For a few dollars more than other places would charge they actually give you the money's worth. If ever that eating breakfast out is a rarity, this place should still be reserved - it is that worthwhile.
Consider my return definite.
Brekkie time!!. I'm an avid brekkie addict whose goal is to strive to find awesome brekkie places around the world! and... FLUTE is definitely one of my top ten!!
AMAZING!!
the food is awesome, the waitress who waited on us was very attentive and super friendly! she definitely knows her food because the items she recommended were spot on! the ambiance of the restaurant is clean cut, modern and sophisticated. i definitely felt really comfortable!
one downside (or upside for some) is that the meals are gigantic! we ordered one plate each and only managed to finish around half of our own and a bite or two from each other's meals. people should order to share, and therefore you can try out different items from the menu.
Great coffee, best I've had in awhile. Avocado plate for breakfast was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. Big servings so price is reasonable! The only thing I would say is to move the blender out the back it's SO loud when you're trying to have a conversation!

Had the signature breakfast, so did my date was very satisfied, all the pretty people here, nice staff (even tho they forgot about my juice) oh and the coffee was above board too!
Always happy at Flute :). Love love love their breakfasts! I have a massive sweet tooth and don't like savoury food when I go out for breaky so I love Flute as they always have something for me. This time it was the pancakes with bananas in a caramel sauce and vanilla bean ice cream that did the trick.
Yes there can be a wait, but there usually is if you want a decent meal in Brisbane. Have to say as well the owner is fantastic, when he's there he is always checking with customers they enjoyed their meal and happy for a chat.
Great food, wonderful staff. I love to go to flute for a breaky or lunch - the food is consistently great.
the staff are fantastic (esp if you have children with you) and even when it's really busy I never feel like im being rushed to leave.
Overall not bad. Price=5, Service=8, Food=7, Atmosphere=7
Bit expensive, but food overall was good!
Had breakfast here this morning, we arrived early around 8:45am and had no trouble getting a take for 6. The meal sizes are huge and extremely generous! I had the pancakes which were very delish and they gave a generous scoop of icecream.
The banana smoothie i had was ok, but it's extremely thick with yogurt, so not too sure if I like it..
Definitely want to come back to try the big breakfasts! Will be coming early again as there was a line up from 9:30am. Also we did not feel like the staff were trying to rush us and they were very attentive.
*No split bills on the weekend*
Awesome bacon and eggs, good value
Being for breaky heaps and lunch too.
Their big breakfast is great and you must try the crab lasagne
Delicious! Delicious! Great coffee & food, with the friendliest of service. Been there twice already & looking forward to going back (hoping to see a different menu perhaps...?)
Will be back.. First time at Flute and thoroughly enjoyed it. Small wait as it was quite busy, but staff were quick to seat us and get us settled. The waitresses were very friendly and they were eager to top up water (which is great because at many cafes I have to keep asking). Coffee was okay, but the food was amazing. Ordered the savoury pancake stack with smoked salmon salsa and white wine sauce - unusual, but so so delish!
Delicious breakfast. I had the eggs Benedict with the smoked salmon tartare. The flavours were beautiful and fresh and the hollandaise sauce wasn't overly creamy or rich as it can sometimes be. Looking forward to visiting again!
Love this place. We've been to Flute 3 times in the last couple of months. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The food is great and well priced. The wine list is short but well selected. Looking forward to our next visit.
Very Nice!. Was recommended to go for breakfast but just missed it and ordered from the lunch menu instead. The steak sandwich and the chicken and pork sandwich were both great. They come with fries, which were done really well! The huge coffees were good and just what we needed. The service was quick and polite and the restaurant itself looked nice. It's a pretty small place so I think it would be really busy for breakfasts and brunches on the weekends. I'd recommend it.
Some exceptional, some mixed but will be back. Arrived under the impression that Flute offered an all day breakfast on weekends but found only lunch menu running. After dealing with my initial disappointment, enjoyed some wonderful food in a pleasant setting with interesting details. Highlights were the sandcrab lasagne (rich and delicious), fries (these are seriously among the best in Brisbane!), and warm chocolate brownie (totally decadent and perfect). Service was inconsistent (side of fries arrived more the halfway through meal; coffees ordered at the same time were served at different times) but for food this good I will definitely give it another few chances. The afternoon $10 coffee/dessert deal offers excellent value too.
Ignore the bad reviews... They ae being overley picky, eggs Bennie too small... Did they miss that it's called Petite eggs Bennie!!! Just go, you wont regret it!
Not too bad but not worth the hype.. Went to flute for breakfast this morning and we were really looking forward to it. Unfortunately we were dissapointed. The eggs benedict was only served with one egg which looked like it was poached in a microwave and consisted of mainly bread and drowned in sauce. I had the scrambled egg with salmon, again too much bread but it was really nice. Although there seemed to be too much going on on the plate. The bread was stacked high with half an avocado and topped with shaved cucumber, off to the side in a partitioned dish was eggs then the salmon. It looked lovely but too much.
However the service was amazing and the coffee was good.
13/4/12. Lunch was fabulous! Food was wonderful and the service was faultless! Will be returning very soon! Looking forward to having breakfast next time! Highly recommended!
Nice. Great service, coffee and a different breakfast menu. Couldn't really fault them to be honest.
Fairly good.... Enjoyed a late Sunday brunch at Flute today and can highly recommend both the food and coffee. My only complaint is that this is yet another place that does not take bookings for brunch on weekend! This is very frustrating for groups who end up standing outside waiting longer whilst pairs and foursomes arrive later and get seated earlier. Reserving tables in a busy place might pose some problems for the staff but it really does make other places that do take bookings more attractive.
Blown away by how good it was! Sunday morning breakfast has found what will be a new regular haunt! Great service great food
Perfect place to meet friends for lunch, friendly service, delicious food.
Yummy Lunch. We went here for lunch to celebrate my fiance's birthday. They don't have many items on their lunch menu but it is a great variety. Def go back there!
Lovely. I went here with a few workmates after we finished the graveyard shift at the hospital. Two of us picked the signature breakfast and my other friend picked the kids eggs benedict. Drinks for the other ladies were a mocha and a hot chocolate.
The food proportions are huge. Even the kids eggs benedict, which my friend was quite happy about as apparently that's the exact size she wanted. The signature breakfast was a monster in itself, I can't even begin to describe all the things we had on there. All of them were well cooked, presented beautifully and arrived promptly. We're both big eaters and we struggled to finish the last bits of that meal.
The drinks were great too, the other girls were very happy with their drinks. All the drinks came with a little square of dark chocolate as well as the melted chocolate component in a seperate dish to add as you liked.
On the other hand, I couldn't make up my mind and when asked the waiter with us kept having to repeat all the options as they didn't have a set menu of drinks? She was very patient though and persisted about four times! I ended up getting a very festive and large drink of strawberry and mango frappe, complete with tiny paper umbrella.
The service was fantastic, polite but unintrusive whilst we talked. They were very attentive to our requests when we wanted service and appeared within seconds once we were looking for someone.
I would definitely go here again sometime.
Brilliant. Exceptional in all areas. Classy and funky, the waiters and waitresses have been well trained, especially since they are quite young and the usual in Brisbane is an attitude of unenthusiastic indifference.
It is usually a good sign when there is a queue to get in and the the cafes beside it have a lot of empty seats.
They do all of the little things which most places don't think about, and this is what you really notice.
It has a great cosy feel about it, tables that don't wobble, heaters and fleece blankets during winter, coffee that comes out with chocolate and shortbread, food that turns peoples head, as though the Chefs are really passionate about what they do!!!
The Owner always seems very involved and also passionate and great with his staff.
The food is brilliant and I rate Flute as the best breakfast in Brisbane.
I always go back and I tell everyone about this place. If only we had more places like this one.
Great Breakfast. Have been here several times. Always good. This time we tried the omelette & the signature breakfast. Fantastic presentation and delicious as well. Lovely waiter.
Lovely in every way. We go as often as possible. Best breakfast in Brisbane. Waiting for a table can take some patience as the place is small and understandably popular.
Came here for a late lunch and was delighted. The food was fantastic, service was attentive and ambience was lovely. Even the outdoor area is airconditioned from above which made a real difference in the heat.
The Best. The best most mouthwatering food in Brisbane....... and also kid friendly.... UNBELIEVABLE! When I ask the kids where to go for a special occasion the answer is always FLUTE please mummy. We just love it. Also, the girls and I are always there for Monday morning coffees for a lovely peaceful chat and an awesome hot coffee. Thank to the Flute crew xx
Great service, very friendly. And good range of items on the breakfast menu, ranging from about $8-$22. A great place to meet friends for breakfast :)
Great coffee. Yummy breakast! Fantastic service
Well worth it. Flute may seem a little pricier than its next door neighbour but it is well worth it especially if you are after something fresh, modern and guaranteed delicious. When you see what you get for your money you will not think it is pricey- the food is aplenty! As well as the exceptional food you will find the service to be timely and friendly. The owner is always present and oversees the smooth running of his restaurant. At the end of a recent brunch I had there with friends from Melbourne, the owner sent over flutes of champagne on the house! A pleasant surprise. My Melbourne friends were impressed by the entire dining experience. It is a fantsastic local restaurant and has many regular and happy customers- I now consider myself one of them.
Always excellent. Have eaten here many times - breakfast and lunch. Always outstanding food and service. Do yourself a favour and try it - you won't be dissappointed!
After a short wait (very busy in the morning) we were seated outside by a friendly staff member. Service was quite fast considering the place was packed. Great quality food. I had the signature breakfast, Loz had the bacon and eggs. Fantastic flavours and good attention to detail. Great place for some breakkie! Will definitely be back for the bangers and mash!
Consistently fantastic, breakfasts here a a rare treat on a day off!
I take my three children aged 6, 3.5 & 2 here at least once a month for breakfast. The food is fabulous. The staff are friendly and punctual. It is really refreshing to find a classy yet child friendly restaurant! Thanks Flute:)
Our favorite place for breakfast consistently great and the staff are always attentive.
Heard some very good things about flute... And were quite impressed. Expensive for breaky but worth it because it was so rich and delicious I haven't eaten anything else all day! Go the signature breaky- molasses bacon us awesome. Haloumi stack was pretty good but prob wouldn't do it again. Coffee ok but not perfect, cups were a novelty but kind of annoying! Worst part was the wankers next to us! But you can't do anything about that can you? Or can you....
Mmm... sugar.... I was passing by here and stopped for coffee and cake. My sweet-toothed companion had the chocolate brownie and a latte, while I ordered a soy mocha and a créme brulée. Both deserts were quite delightful (the toffee coating on my brulée was perfect) and excellent value for (I think) $7 each.
The mocha was presented in a very elegant, yet eye-popping, manner (you'll just have to find out for yourself what I mean by this). Decor was modern but not dry and the service was friendly, although they were a bit quiet once all our order had been delivered.
A very pleasant experience overall. Will return for the savouries soon.... !
Better than Ron Burgandy's Jazz Flute!. I can't believe I haven't written a review for Flute yet!
We've been here several times for breakfast or brunch and each time it's worth the trip. Sure we might have to wait a few minutes for a table to become free and cleaned but the staff always remember that you're there (usually several keep an eye out) and have you seated the second they can.
The meals are huge and I must admit that I don't think I've managed to clear my plate yet despite my best efforts.
One of my favourite things about Flute is that they don't serve what you might call traditional breakfast foods, at least not ones that are usually served at other restaurants or cafes.
I'd recommend the hot chocolate which is served in a small bowl with pieces of chocolate on the side which you stir into the hot milk to suit your tastes. The chocolate is pretty damn good on it's own too.
And considering how busy the place is *all the time* we've never felt like we waited too long for our food to arrive.
Great food but a little on the expensive side.
Great Coffee. Great coffee, fantastic staff and a pleasent environment. My daughter loves their takeaway baby-chino's!
Consistently Good. Good coffee, friendly staff and enjoyable food. Generous portion sizes - waistline beware !
Bacon and Eggs...mochacino. The quality of the food is very good! The service is impeccable and the price is amazing. The honey bacon and eggs is delicious around $16.95 and literally filled me up all day...beautifully presented. I also had the mocachino in a mug which come with a little cup of chocolate which is delicious. Will be back for more at this great little place. Well worth the wait and the line-up.
Lunch & dessert were incredible. So flavoursome! Service was very pleasing. Highly recommended.
Delicous food, friendly service and value for money. I had lunch at Flute today with a group of eight - everybody enjoyed their meal.
Great Cafe. Flute is great for breakfast. I think the Flute in Rosalie (same owners) is possibly better though.
A little on the exxy side, but the staff make it worthwhile.
Great Service, Coffee & Food. Flute is one of only a few places that understand how to look after their customers, especially ones with children, I have three kids and they are always made welcome
They even remember their names. what puts the icing on the cake is that they also have great coffee and excelent food, they well and truly exceeded my expectations.
This is not the "coffee club". Having been involved in the hospitality and modern bistro dining for the past 10 years - I think Flute Fine Food, is what Coorparoo needs!!!!! It is a refreshing, yet vibrant addition to my breakfast/lunch outings. Yes, it's always busy, but that is a sign of good food and great service. See again soon - yes, that is 2 short blacks . . . . . . . . . . . . .
One of the Best!!. Flute, is one of the most accomadating and friendly establishments in Brisbane. Never would they ask you to leave to seat more customers and refuse you a 2nd cup of coffee!!! i think that may be made up???? i recommend them for Breakfast, lunch and dinner.....
Really enjoyed it, I liked the little extra touches that came with my mocha. My water glass was continually topped up without prompting. V yummy breakfast.
A touch of local excellence. We enjoyed brilliant service and the food was perfect at Flute in the first week of June 09. Very very impressive, a little Melbourne-esque almost :) Thanks guys! Keep up the great work. It's awesome having a fab local hot spot.
Although the breakfast menu at Flute is quite limited, the selection that they do have is impeccable in taste and is always served in a big hearty portion. This is the perfect restaurant for a lazy slow and relaxed morning.
...bustling breakfast place filled with chatty people or people stopping by for coffee. Well lit and you can expect a line up most days, especially the weekend
Service: 10, fantastic service. The serving staff are always super attentive, offer drinks, refills, silently take away plates, offer salt and pepper, can give recommendations on food, super friendly and happy to split a bill fantastic.
Food: 8, cut corners he
This omellete was so satisfying, eggy, cheesy and salmony all at once! What i like is that it isn't too cheesy compared to the one i had at Scuzi at Chermside where i ended up eating around the edges to avoid the richness of the cheese!
Flute Fine food located in Cooparoo was cafe stop no.1 for this year! And boy must I say that it is a great cafe to start off my hunting endeavours this year and probably a tough one to beat!
All the dishes were delicious. If the empty plates at the end of the meal was any indication, it was one of absolute satisfaction. Overall, quite impressed with Flute!
Surprisingly, our drinks came out in less than five minutes and the food was presented in front of us in less then ten. My savoury stack with smoked salmon, eggs and avocado was light and fresh yet packed with flavour. The other travel bunnie had simple fare bacon and scrambled eggs served with Turkish bread and onion relish and it was just as good. The bacon was cut thick and the cheese drizzled Turkish bread was crust and the perfect side.
The haloumi, avocado, roast capsicum, turkish bread with scrambled eggs on the other hand, all went together quite nicely and was clearly a Breakfast dish (with a capital B). The scrambled eggs had cheese all throughout though which made everything quite filling and a little sickly.
Service at Flute was friendly and consistent. Even though they were extremely busy, it didn't feel rushed at all. I thought the food was quite good... perhaps not the top of my list (Pearl is still best IMO) but the servings were hearty enough to justify the price.
This must be one of the Top 10 Favourite Brekky in Brisbane ! Hearty, delicious, cosy environment, great service! Highly recommended! It was a total surprise to us! This morning we headed out for brekky and as usual we just browsed Urbanspoon then found Flute Fine Food in Coorparoo . We have been visiting Cream Patisserie and Sing’s Asian Kitchen for years but never realised Flute does breakfast as well. When we arrived there was a long long queue… jeez… this place must be popular! We were greeted by a lovely guy and he said it would take 10-15 minutes for a table, and he kept coming back to update us how much longer we had to wait. Then we realised the queue became longer and longer… so me and Little Monster went around the block to check out other shops and the next door Cream Patisserie was very quiet… I wonder why? Not long after this lovely guy came back to show us our table, it was outdoor seating and the lovely breeze was actually quite nice He then took our dri
great coffee and nice service and staffs :) we had chicken curry and fried rice with beef skewers. Chicken katsu were still crispy even curry was on top! Also fried rice! Very generous amount and quality!
definitely visit again. I knew now why reviews were so good here! Xx you guys made beautiful weekend !
10/10 for food, service and value for money. Will definitely be back. We came for brunch so was able to order The Ultimate from the breakfast menu and the Calamari Salad from the lunch menu. So impressed with the quality and taste. Well done!!!
Lovely atmosphere with friendly staff. Didn't have to wait long for food or drink, which was of very high quality! Excellent mocha coffee which came with a complimentary biscuit!
This place did not disappoint.
The food was so quick to come out and most elements of the dishes we had was simple yet tasty. I usually don’t like the salsa sauce that’s provided by some of these breakfast places, but even this salsa was great.
My grandma ordered scones that she couldn’t finish so I ate, and that was fantastic. I would never consider ordering scones for myself, but for this place, I might make an exception in the future.
Great work Flute Cafe.
Edit: I’ve been reading some of the reviews here and some people seem to have an issue with the way the eggs are poached. I had my reservations when I saw it the first time, but the moment you cut into it, you can see that’s it’s been done perfect. If this is the price that needs to be paid for quick and consistent eggs, so be it. Keep doing it.
If only there were more STARS...
We ordered a birthday cake for our son from Flute on the recommendation of a family member. We could simply not be more pleased with the quality of the cake and the outstanding service we received. As has become a feature of 2020/21 life, our week didn't really go as smoothly as we would have anticipated. Our experience with Flute was a wonderful surprise.
Flute has been our local for years and it’s always amazing, truffled eggs are the best breakfast in my opinion and the kids love sweet breakfasts and the hot chocolate. Serving sizes are generous and good value. In lockdown recently we ordered morning tea to celebrate a long week, the scones were soo good, especially the berry compote. We’re regulars and will continue to be.
