Matthew Thomas is a lovely little art cafe on the coast road overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Sandgate. We arrived for brunch on a Sunday and it was fairly busy. The menu was full of nice choices and it was difficult to decide, but I opted for a mt classic which is eggs, bacon, tomato and sourdough while my companion chose the grande breakfast. Other options on the menu included pancakes, waffles, muesli, salmon, and eggs benedict. I had an almond and nutella shake which was delicious, and the coffee was also very good.
Unique as an old brick building at Sandgate in a sea of timber great Coffee and 10 for ambience. Georgian structure by the sea.
With many delicious options and a stunning view, you can't go wrong here! The latte I had was one of the bests ones I've had. Helped there was a really handsome bloke running the coffee station too but honestly, this is one of Brisbane's hidden gems.

I enjoy a brunch at Matthew Thomas on occasion. I would go more regularly but it really is quite pricey. The views are lovely and it is located in a unique old building that has a lot of history in the area. If you are lucky enough to be in town on a Sunday in winter, they light a fire in the fireplace around which are placed some lovely wingback chairs and tables.
Most recently, I treated myself to the vegetarian breakfast, my partner to the eggs Benedict and my daughter to waffles. The servings were generous and the service was ok just a little slow. My vegetarian breakfast was certainly tasty, although to be honest, I found the sourdough toast really dry and hard. The Eggs Benedict was served with a large serving of bacon and the waffles were served with quite the handful of fresh berries.
Sometimes I go to have just a pot of tea while taking in the views and writing or drawing. I have treated friends to lunch here as well and do recommend their tasty (if quite overpriced) fish and chips. I have also taken both my daughters her for a treat of dessert with milkshakes. They enjoy the brownies very much.
It is a lovely local place that has some serious ambience and history. The food is good, just be wary of the high prices and keep it as a treat destination and you won’t be disappointed.
Outstanding food and service. Compliments to the chef on making everything from scratch! It certainly shows in the flavours. Your salted caramel and lemon curd is gobsmackingly delicious. The venue, waterfront and nostalgia is lovely to be amongst.
If your in the area and you appreciate good food look no further, the views and breeze is lovely, the staff are friendly the place has a great ambience, but the best thing is the food, the chef/cook is skilled and I enjoyed every bite, I’ll be back next week for lunch.
Awesome place on a lazy afternoon. We had great coffee and hot chocolate. The view is fantastic...over Moreton Bay. The service was very friendly and attentive.
Great place for the morning coffee or breakfast. Fantastic Egg Benedict with delicious hollandaise sauce served on sourdough. Combine the great food with views of the bay makes this little place is one of the best spots to eat in the area.
Canadian Waffles and Eagle 50 are amazing and filling meal! Always consistent and service is good. Great location and also dog friendly place.
Seemed a little pricey for the food although the banoffee shake was awesome. great view aswell, its a very quaint cafe alongside the shorncliff waterfront.
Went for a Saturday morning walk along Lover's Walk and ended up at Matthew Thomas cafe'. A welcoming and warm feel to the place. I loved the decor, high ceilings and position with a view through the trees of the sea. The service was quick and personable. The menu is fairly extensive and reasonably priced (maybe a bit on the high side). Having said that, the portions were generous and well prepared. We loved our meal and the coffee was great.
What a little gem this cafe is!
We were having a lazy Sunday so decided to go out for lunch something we don’t do locally very often as expectations are seldom met.
This is our second visit here in as many weeks and I am so pleasantly surprised. Location, ambience and staff all wonderful and the food did not disappoint.
Oh great coffee too.
I was here for breakfast with a group of friends. The service was very quick and extremely professional. The staff were very knowledgeable and welcoming about their diverse menu and possible changes. Overall a great experience and I would definitely recommend a visit.
Housed in a quirky vintage building that says Masonic Hall on the original signage.
The hall has been converted into a cafe and residencies on top.
Nicely fitted out with cottage Hamptons decor to suit the old style with a modern twist.
It is extreemly dog friendly and I got to pat 3 dogs all seated at different tables out the front.
It's wonderful that there are more places we can head out to with our hairy four legged family members.
Stopped here to get a coffee while in Sandgate.
Courteous immediate friendly service.
They do Toby's Estate coffee, it was perfectly made and super fast. The food looked fantastic and menu reasonably priced.
Eggs Benny is my go to breakfast order whenever I try somewhere new. It was expertly prepared and beautifully balanced, not a piece out of order. Add in charming decor and views out over the water for a superb breakfast experience.
Beautiful venue.
Chicken Moroccan salad was amazing. So much flavour, it was so delicious. One of the best things I've eaten and I could eat this every day! However by the end it was extremely oily, and we had a huge puddle at the bottom of the bowl and the remaining salad was dripping. Perhaps consider a bit less salad dressing. Amazing flavours though!
We also had the calamari dish. The chips were incredible and I've never had that smooth texture of potato before, yet so crispy on the outside!?! The calamari was beautiful and melting in the mouth, we just weren't a fan of the herbs on the outside. It would have been infinitely better with just lemon pepper and salt, rather than the ?italian herb mix. It didn't work at all.
The waffle was nice, but nothing mind blowing. Would be better with a thicker (and more flavoursome) fudge style sauce.
Overall a lovely meal, however we did think the price was a little excessive.
Another beautiful meal ,great service ,attenion to detail ,and the overall apreance of venue make for a great outing
Had a terrific breakfast, nice old renovated meeting hall, nice decor, pleasant view out to Morton bay, Sandgate
