Review Little Clive Cafe - Brisbane

What a nice little surprise! Found this place when we had to be in Annerley one morning. Good coffee, super friendly staff and plenty of locals dropping in for breakfast on the covered deck. Dog friendly too.

Lovely service. Coffee, Bacon, Haloumi and Hollandaise sauce were perfect but unfortunately the Avocado was a mixture of overripe and under ripe chunks and ruined the meal. Avocados are cheap at the moment so I would have expected much better quality.

We went to little Clives this morning, the service was great, however I am only giving 4 star cos they offered us cold water but forgot to bring it out as they were busy!!! The food was delicious and always and the staff were friendly and helpful as we were nearly going to order just some chips as well as our meals but it was recommended it comes out huge!! So knowledgeable of the menu was great and the food came out hot and fresh

I've mostly been happy with my morning. The lovely little lady making coffee however sadly has left. The big fella making them now delivers ordinary at best brews. I've put up with this for a while but now left dumbfounded at the 2 warm milk waters I was served as coffee today. Wont be back.

Great little cafe serving big coffees and great value breakfasts. If I can get an awesome breakfast and coffee for under $25, I'm satisfied. Plus they put the little flowers on your food so you know it's just a little bit fancy. 🌸

We are hitting the breakfast jackpots recently. Found little gem online from a food blog and was not disappointed. The food is really high quality, delicious and prepared for coeliacs - very impressed. The staff have mastered easy-going and friendly with extreme attentiveness and it was a lovely experience. Great coffee too. Easy parking and very well priced. Will return.

Great customer service. Very professional and quick to be served. The breakfast wrap was delicious. It looked a little small but the flavour made up for it. Good bacon and tasty sauce. The wrap bread tasted home made. Banana smoothie was sweet and creamy. I would have preferred if they chose to use biodegradable takeaway cups and straws, time to cut out the plastic! The prices are on the high end but the taste makes up for it. Dog friendly.

I don’t usually review takeaway coffee, but I had to share this experience! One of the best coffees I’ve had recently. Perfect temperature and smooth blend. To add, the staff were friendly and super efficient! The cafe was busy for takeaway coffees, but mine was ready in a few minutes. Would definitely come back to dine in and try the food! Thanks Little Clive!

Quick weekend brunch at Little Clive in Annerley, which I have long had on my list to try. Situated very close to Mr L's place of residence, we ambled over on Saturday morning for brunch. Already quite famished, we ordered quickly and I forgot to snap a picture of the menu. . Our coffees were served very quickly though, with two steaming hot cappuccinos ready in no time. These were strong and bitter but the milk could have been a bit smoother. It definitely did its job in keeping me awake though.

Pancakes here were delicious. Cheeseburger came with some tasty fries on the side. Pea and ham soup was soup of the day and was very average in comparison to the other two meals. All in all a good feed with good coffee.

Stopped in here after gym as across the road. Late' and ham & cheese croissant was delicious. Nice ambience and friendly staff. <br/>Will come back again.

Re-visit this café since my first time nearly three years ago. Service is consistently friendly and hospitable. Ordered a cup of flat white and savoury dish of Classic Reuben Sandwich. Coffee is definitely improved that matches my palate with right strength and smoothness. Reuben sandwich came with generous portions. Ingredient of the corned beef is thick cut and there are plenty of pickles accompanied with the sandwich. Needless to say, my little bird stomach cannot accommodate the big serving of sandwich so half of the bread was left over. Sorry chef! <br/><br/>Feb 14, 2016   Rating 3.5/5 <br/>Arrived this cafe before the normal trading hour and the friendly waitress told me to go back in another fifteen minutes very politely. Wandering around the area and went back, they were opened so ordered a cup of coffee and a poached egg with smoked salmon. The venue accommodates about 40 customers and there are four staff working there so it is a reasonable labour force. Coffee and savory meal came in a reasonable period of time. I found the coffee was average but the savory dish should deserve a thumb-up. The egg was poached with perfect timing and plating skill is good that enhances the aesthetic effect on the whole dish. Beetroot purée and pickles reduce the greasy feeling from the egg yolk (that is the reason that I don't order eggs quite often), which lead to a well balanced flavor with smoked salmon and the sourdough. Well done.

Paying homage to the tastes of Queensland. The waffles are a toasted coconut waffle with caramelised white chocolate crumb, mango ice cream and coconut foam. Man, that mango ice cream was delicious. Not usually a fan of coconut, but I really didn't mind it in this. Just really enjoyed the overall balance... and of course, check out the close-up ;)

The Best Pancakes that I have ever had, let me repeat myself. The BEST Pancakes that I have ever had. they make pretty awesome coffee and the service is pretty great as well. i will be going back!

This cafe has been a bit of a staple for me for about 3 years if I ever want a nice breakfast. I went on sunday morning with my partner. I ordered the chicken and waffle which was absolutely amazing, made me realise I've never left a review!<br/>The coffee here is also fantastic, I would come here many mornings to grab a take away for the drive to work, I wish I lived close by again so I could put my loyalty coffee card to good use.<br/><br/>Keep up the great work guys, fantastic menu, great service.

We were very excited for our Sunday brunch with friends at The Little Clive since we heard amazing things about it. Unfortunately the experience wasn't as expected. I had ordered the waffle of the month but found a hair in it. We called the server who changed my dish but there was no consideration. We're not fetching for apologies but would have appreciated a better customer service. The experience turned off our enthusiasm.

Crowded on Sunday for brunch. Staff were attentive and helpful while we waited for space. Efficient service once seated. Staff dealt well with being a man down on a busy day. Eggs Benedict w bacon very nice, plenty of spinach and not overpowered by hollandaise. Waffle of the month was a little daunting, fairy floss probably unnecessary to be honest, but very nice. I will be back on a less frantic day for coffee and a paper.

Unlike normal restaurants this place knows how to turn customers away in 30 minutes or less! Forced to move 3 times in 20 minutes with the third time barely sitting for 5 minutes before our table was needed for a reservation. No menus were given during that time but instead to people who arrived after us, therefore had to google it. Was given 1 of 2 drinks when we cancelled our order. To add insult to injury the coffee was horrendous! Lack of communication and poor service costed them paying customers and could not get us out of there fast enough. Hope you don’t make the same mistake!

I've visited little Clive cafe a few times now but only for hot drinks. So this review is only for just that. <br/>When I walked in there were quite a few people eating out on the courtyard area and appeared to be all happy and there were a couple of young ladies in the cue to order & I witnessed a few meals leaving the kitchen en route to the people who ordered them all The meals looked very appetising. I usually order a big soy chai latte but under recommendations from the ladies in front of me I ordered a big Almond milk Chai Latte !! It was very nice. I may have to make it my norm. <br/>My drink was hot, it was served quick and and staff said good morning !! No complaints. <br/>I'm looking forward to dining in and trying some good food.<br/>Update: 17/08/18<br/><br/>Finally got the opportunity to eat breakfast here. <br/>I ordered the mushroom burger which comes with chips and a large soy chai. <br/>The mushroom burger and chips cost $18.90 and the soy chai was nearly $6. <br/>The burger was ok. Tasted fresh but it was not what I was expecting. Yes It says roasted field mushroom on the menu but I was expecting a patty of roasted field mushrooms , in the same way a lentil or black bean burger isn't just that in a burger, but that's just what I expected. <br/>The whole mushrooms on my burger were not cooked enough in my opinion and so were a bit chewy and a lot of liquid came out from them and / or from the salsa and so made the bread roll a bit soggy and a little difficult to eat by hands luckily My meal was served with a knife and fork which made the eating job easy. It Was a delicious and tasty meal and The service was friendly and courteous. Thanks very much. SARDS

The food is always top notch, for lunch we had the vegan linguine and the waffles of the month, an orange juice and a cappuccino. We always sit in the shaded outdoor area, efficient and very polite staff and the food is always fresh, and very Instagram worthy! Parking isn't generally an issue during weekday brunches. Toilets are located just a few shops down and are clean.

I've rated it 1.0 because I can't rate it 0. The staff at this place are consistently rude, the food is always disappointing and I won't go back, I definitely won't recommend to anyone. I usually am on my own, for coffee or a sit down breakfast and on MULTIPLE occasions I've been asked to move tables, even when I've just been waiting for a takeaway coffee. I got my coffee a minute later, but they would prefer to accomodate a group immediately than be considerate of one customer for a minute. Once I was moved tables while eating! Surely if a table is taken the next customer who shows up could wait, that's usually what decent restaurants do. <br/><br/>The menu is very limited, has practically zero sweet options, the banana bread is rarely fresh and even when I get it toasted they still manage to serve it cold. Most of the seating is outdoors so can be really uncomfortable on hot days. The only thing decent about this place is that they serve Vivo coffee. The coffee still isn't worth being treated poorly and always leaving feeling angry.

The food is pretty solid, but unfortunately this was the opposite of 'value for money', which is something that I really look for. Perhaps I've been eating at too many Sunnybank 'hole-in-the-wall' restaurants recently, but it seemed steep for its location. Paying dinner prices for bfast doesn't enthuse me unfortunately. <br/><br/>If money doesn't bother you though, the service is great and the general 'vibe' pretty good. Probably most interesting, is that a few dishes on the menu seemed to push the boundaries of 'the typical', though all the normal bfast items are there too. If you want to try something atypical, Little Clive delivers along with its amazing food presentation! <br/><br/>It was quite a busy spot and suspect it is popular among its locals. The coffee was certainly a winner.

I went to cafe it is very good but coffee is great the food and the waitress was wonderful the inside and outside is great I might go back there again one day it is great and great smile

Went back to Little Clive for Saturday lunch and was pleasantly surprised and excited to try the new menu.<br/>We ordered a Smokey Chocolate and Maple thickshake (yum) and an Iced Latte to begin with.<br/>For meals, we had the Miso Waffle and Kale Kimchi Bowl. The waffle was delicious with an inventive twist on familiar Japanese flavours. The Kale Kimchi was flavourful and creative too, however our dish missed the "fried rice paper" and "wasabi chickpeas" that were advertised on the menu. Also, the Kimchi, pickled daikon and pickled ginger overpowered the dish with acidity.<br/>Service was friendly and efficient. Meals were very reasonably portioned. The ambience was casual, and we were amused with seeing all the puppies and dogs that went in and out of the neighbouring pet groomers.<br/>Overall, a cute, lovely brunch place with inventive dishes.

Food: 4/5<br/>The food was really good and a bit too filling. Bacon Pancakes could feed 10 people and the Brekkie Burger was very dense but tasty.<br/>Service: 3/5<br/>The serves were nice but the food took a little while to come.<br/>Aesthetic: 4/5<br/>The aesthetic is really cute and the tables and extras all work really nicely together. <br/>Price: 3/5 <br/>It is a little expensive but you won’t have to eat at any other point during the day so it’s worth it. About $50 for two people. <br/>

Great little cafe off the main Ipswich road, tucked away opposite woolies. There is plenty of parking on the weekends.<br/><br/>Service is friendly and usually can get a baby high chair if you get there early. Menu is simple so eggs Benny it is again and latte and 2 baby cinos. Full table service and pay at counter in the end.<br/><br/>Busy place this is, but our coffees didn't take long to come out, good coffee. They do plenty of take away also.<br/><br/>Food presented was nice and looked inviting. Tasted good also, eggs done perfectly, sour dough was right to cut through. Enjoyed our time there we will be back.

Disappointed in the value and taste, ordered the matcha granola with blueberry yoghurt for lunch, not only was the yoghurt warm there was literally 3 tablespoons worth in the bowl which was placed around the sides of the granola. The staff provided extra cold yoghurt after asking and advised the quality was due to it being “change of season” for the menu??

Different!! 😜 It was very Asian inspired with ingredients I’d never tried before! I’m game, so it was fun to eat. Seemed a little confused with so many different flavours and maybe not enough to cut through the strong flavours of the kimchi and radish but the avo and egg helped!!! <br/>The meals took a little while to come... but they were very complex dishes!! Haha <br/>my friends dish was awesome except the menu explanation was not clear and gave no indication that it would be Spicey (salmon with tomato) — so I wouldn’t have minded (lol) but he hates spice! <br/>The fresh juice was delish!!!

Food was among some of the most instagram worthy I’ve come across yet the little things let this otherwise potentially great cafe down. I came here for breakfast and ordered the pancakes (a menu item I almost never order) and was blown away by the size and decoratively put together dish! The stack of pancakes was smothered in a thick caramelised syrup, bacon prices lodged in between each layer and fairy floss and popcorn garnishings on top. The meal was huge and unfortunately I couldn’t make it through more than half. The iced coffee was pretty bland and tasted more like milk than coffee. Outdoor setting underneath a tarpaulin like roof was a little on the uncomfortably hot side and the setting a little understyled with unpleasant views to the car park.Jon

Well then...if the serving sizes are anything to go by, the place should be renamed Big Clive (shout out to ma man Palmer). The food was amazing, the value for money was definitely there, and the ambiance wasn’t too bad. It’s unfortunate that it’s located next door to a very loud vet, but who doesn’t like doggos and woofers. I order the granola and it was some of the best granola I’ve ever had (and who knew granola could be good). My friend ordered the pancakes, which were also crazy good, and they came with fairy floss on the top which was a very unique touch! I also ordered one of their thick shakes which was a bit on the expensive side but it was very chocolaty and just how I like it. Overall, would recommend.<br/>My score: 4.5/5 potatos

Slowly making the rounds to all the epic muffin haunts in Brisbane. I made my way to the neatly tucked away Little Clive in Annerley. Who's towering <br/>Muffin toppings I had been eyeballing for some time on social media.<br/>In my muffi delectable world it's all about the topping. That sweet creamy icing adorned high on a baked good.<br/>Little Clives muffin icing did not go astray. With Daily eotating flavours todays treat was Honey and Almond.<br/>The muffin was on point as well. The only down side to this muffin was that the topping was a buttercream. Which for some can be sickly. <br/><br/>Muffins aside. The cafe was buzzing at 8.30 on a Saturday. Sure to say I'll be back to discover more of their daily specials and stop for a savoury breakfast to balance out the muffin sweetness.

I popped in here for brunch before i started work & really enjoyed my meal. The coffee was great & so was my eggs benny. I asked for soft poached & that's what i got! The mushrooms were also amazing & hollandaise sauce was well made. I'd definitely go back! Staff were friendly & service was quick.

Been here several times and have had nice breakfasts but terrible coffee! Burnt and bitter which is a real shame. Ordered takeaway coffee and toast today and took quite a while. Good location.

Coffee. Dirty chai. Veggie bowls. Drinks and service were good. Veggie bowl had minimal veggies, two door stops of very crunchy bread with a butter knife. Under-seasoned kale and egg. Avocado was under ripe. Entire dish needed seasoning and dressing or maybe acid like tomato. Very boring meal.

Consistently brilliant coffee. Friendly and wonderful staff! A really great atmosphere for a takeaway, lunch or a birthday breakfast. Would definitely recommend :)

Words cannot describe what a disappointment this place was. The one positive was the friendly staff. The first time I went I got the big breakfast, where the bacon was burnt. Very overpriced for the quality of the rest of the food. My coffee was good though so I decided to give it another try. The second time I got the lamb burger which had a hair on it after first bite. I didn't eat the rest. That's just not on. Get the chefs and waiters/waitresses to be more careful.

We went this morning and were pretty disappointed. The facebook reviews were good and as such thought we should give it a go. The service was fine but the food was plain and overpriced. I ordered the smoked trout omelette which was very underwhelming. It was small and overcooked, with small amounts of trout and no or non existent dill. It was very dry and needed cheese or something to complete it. My wifes vegeterian breakfast looked amazing. Most of it was good but they had two pieces of sourdough in the dish that were dry and needed butter or something. The meals were close to being good but both had something wrong, and for the price we paid they should have been better.

A funky little cafe located in the inner south of Briisbane, Little Clive has a great appeal to it.  There is seating available on a covered deck or inside the cafe and the staff are very warm and welcoming.  You are spoilt for choice with the range of food on offer, from healthy and gorgeous Acai Bowls, to a slightly naughtier Pork Belly Burger.<br/><br/>One of my favourite dishes here is the Hot Smoked House Salmon Omelette.  There are great contrasts in both the texture and flavours of the omelette, and the presentation is on point.  The chef has delivered classic pairings in a new and innovative way as well.  Case in point is the Pork Belly Burger.  It not only comes out with Little Clive's name branded into the top of the burger bun, but the apple on the burger has been battered and then deep fried.<br/><br/>All in all a very friendly and welcoming cafe that is suitable to families, and definitely a place that I will revisit.

Pretty good, staff were really lovely. The way food is served needs to be revisited though - my toast was served in a bowl with a knife I couldn't cut with (???) and my friend's bagel looked very lonely on a massive blue plate. Coffee was excellent. Would probably come back but maybe not for breakfast.

Great local cafe which is focused on their customers. The food is delicious and well priced compared to alot of other places out there. I went their with my partner and we had a mix of burgers and waffles. The waiter let us know they change the flavour each month which is interesting. We will be back again.

Nice little cafe spot that I wanted to try for awhile, was quite a wait for a table but was Sunday morning so that's expected. I got the pb & jelly pancakes which were nice but not as good as I had anticipated. They did not have enough topping and I found them quite dry. My partner also had a dirty coffee cup with a long hair stuck to it, the guy that took it and brought another one back was quite rude and did not even apologise. Apart from that the rest of the staff are friendly.

Went here in a group of 6, it was crowded however service was friendly and prompt. They had run out of hash browns on this particular morning. Meals were good, huge servings, and coffee was nice. The thing I like most is that the gluten free bread was really nice- like a GF pumpkin and corn bread. That's a positive because I've had my fare share of not so good GF breads.<br/><br/>My only comment would be that I wished the bacon was a bit crispier with my eggs benny. I will definitely return though, thanks for the nice brunch.

We had a wonderful mother & daughter afternoon and decided to have a drink and bite to eat at Little Clive in Annerley.<br/>I ordered a Banana and Peanut Butter smoothie on lactose free milk, while New Moon Witch 77 had a cappuccino and banana bread. We shared a bowl of sweet potato fries with a side of ailoi.<br/>First of all, I make a better smoothie than this, could hardly taste any banana at all! The sweet potato fries were cooked to well and the aioli was tasty! But unfortunately the little dish the ailoi came in was all gone before we were even half way through the fries! <br/>Newmoon said the coffee had a burnt after taste and the banana bread was acceptable.<br/>I had really hoping for a better quality of food, but as they say "Been there, done that"! Moving on....

Just ok. Wasn't anything special. First waiter was bloody terrible. Couldn't even tell us the one special they had, had to go inside into the counter and read it for aloud to her! Food average, nothing to write home about. Wouldn't go out of my way to go again.

Tucked in a small nondescript shopping centre in Annerley, its easy to miss this cafe. But judging by the amount of people at the cafe, I can see that the word has spread about how great this little cafe is! The food is always impeccable - great taste and wonderful plating. The staff is friendly and attentive. Ample seating both inside and out.

These guys are awesome! Consistently great coffee, food and exceptional service. Always looking forward to seeing what Shanon and the rest of the team are doing next. Glad to have a great local cafe/restaurant nearby

The food was very unique and pancake covered fairy-floss was looks so nice. but the coffee was bit overheated though. Lovely and cozy place! will definitely visit again.

Love this place. I have dined here a few times now! The food is always spot on and so are the staff who are very welcoming. <br/>I would highly recommend their breakfasts

Been to the Little Clive for a couple of times and I had to say, the food I had this time was the best! Today I tried the duck burger served with cucumber and hoisin sauce in a brioche bun. The bun was soft, and most importantly the duck meat was tender and flavourful. It is like the modern version of Peking duck. Instead of a wrap, this time it's served in a bun. The crispy sweet potato fries were satisfactory. The iced matcha was pretty good but may be better if it's ice blended matcha (especially on a hot day today).

Great burgers!! Staff are really friendly and attentive. <br/>Tasted a few different burgers (from others on my table) and they were equally delicious. Sweet potato fries are ok too.<br/>Went there on a friday night recenty to discover they were having a trivia night! So much fun. Great casual local restaurant.

Dined here with my friends last week. A lovely find. Casual yet friendly staff and a positive atmosphere. I tried the gluten free brownie from the cabinet and it was tasty. Coffee was just right. Thanks. Will be back

The staff here are great - super friendly, but service was slow and the food was cold. Some other customers ordered a fairy-floss covered creation which looked interesting, coffe was good and it was nice sitting on the little deck.

Amazing food and friendly service. This place seems to really care about their customers which is refreshing! Hidden away just off the main road in Annerley. I had the Chicken Adobo burger which tasted great. My friend had the avocado toast which looked amazing and came with fresh flowers on top! Will be back to try more.

To be fair they are known for their French toast and o didn't order French toast. The soft shell crab burger was just so bland, no Wassbi mayo flavour, just a nice crispy soft shell

Dinner was brilliant. Little Clive has a lot of charm, the food the staff and the open setting feels good. The menu is limited which is a plus, keeping the food honest and consistent. We had burgers that were delicious and filling. The range of beers is impressive which includes a local brewery, and their commitment to sourcing local is commendable. Friendly and fun, chat to Shannon (co-owner) or any of the staff to surely brighten your day. Our next foray will be breakfast.

Good spot for breakfast, tried the winter warmer waffles and the poached pears were amazing! That little hint of cinnamon makes all the difference. Service was a bit slow but there was a free coffee/juice offered for the wait. Recommended for breakfast, not the best value for lunch. Overall, satisfied!

So bad. The coffee good and foh really nice. The food, horrible. Had baked beans with maple bacon (beans overcooked, cold, lack of flavour, out of a can, bread so old it was embarrassing, maple bacon undercooked and soggy) and halloumi ( with one big leaf of kale, didnt even bother cutting it! , poached egg perfectly but cold, halloumi ok, pesto ok, said mushroom it had 3 little quarters of little mushroom).

Had a really nice meal here today. Tried the new lamb shoulder burger (the boy told me it was new that day) - good timing for me. Tasty...and lots of nice flavours. Had some sweet potato fries which were super filling which was a struggle, but awesome. Good to see you don't leave hungry haha. Tried one of their beers too. Had a bunch of cool types I hadn't really seen before which was interesting alongside some popular ones like Stone and Wood. Will have to come back and try them all. Overall can't really complain about anything. Lucky find for me.

My experiences at Little Clive have always been positive and consistent. They're dog friendly and will bring out a water bowl for your pooch if you're dining in which I think is quite considerate. Staff are very friendly and helpful if you're deciding between menu items. From my several trips I've had: the pancakes, the wagyu beef burger, salmon eggs benedict and baked eggs. The pancakes are consistently devine. The eggs benedict is good but nothing outstanding. The baked eggs last time were a little dry, but I guess it's not a shakshuka so perhaps shouldn't be judging it as one.

"Exciting!"<br/>I chose this cafe based on the pancake special, strawberries & cream with fairy floss with reference to that of the mane of "My Little Pony"! It was as exciting as the description implied. <br/>Combined with a super thick salted caramel thick shake, and my usual skinny cap, this meal satisfied my pancake needs. <br/>A cute & quirky cafe in Annerley, with indoor outdoor flow and super cheerful wait staff, I was happy, and would certainly recommend & return. <br/>👌☺️

I had been planning to come here for quite a while now, but never had the chance, until today. Arrived for lunch, three of us, at 1:47pm to be told: 'Sorry kitchen closed at 1:45'. What??....<br/>What cafe that is not open for dinner closes the kitchen before 2pm???<br/>Anyway, we left and went elsewhere.

.........Got there at 1:47 then they said kitchen closes at 1:45. Well, they obviously didn't need another $50 plus on their till...........

Little Clive is adored by Annerley locals and it's not hard to see why. The staff are very attentive and friendly and the menu features all of your breakfasts classics with a few twists. Their black charcoal bread is one of their features at the moment and although it may not be for everyone is has a really enjoyable flavour and makes a great addition to the meals. There is some really cool latte art as well.

What an absolute GEM! The food was stunning, creative, and fantastically flavourful. The chefs have designed a beautiful menu filled with unique twists on classic favorites and fresh new ideas. Presentation of the food was exceptional and showed great care for the exciting presentation of breakfast food. The staff were fantastic! Friendly, attentive, and engaging. Coffee was great. Venue is nice and they have done their best to maximize the use of available space. A must stop for brekky or lunch if your ambling through Annerley, and well worth the trip if you're not from the area.

Good coffee. Good bana bread. Didn't eat a meal but will be back to try. Service was good but they asked me to move when I was sitting on my own. Not keen on that.

Fast and friendly service. My matcha latte and haloumi breakfast was simple but delicious and reasonably priced. I also like that the tables for two are bigger than in most cafes. I will be back!

Was intending to dine at Dudley St Espresso, but upon arrival we found that it was closed over the new year. So as a quick alternative, we headed over to Little Clive over the road. Really cute interior with a spacious outdoor area. The staff were really friendly and were very attentive despite it being their first day back from the New Year! Ordered their breakfast board. They didn't have any pork belly in the store so found it really great that they offered to double up on the chorizo as a replacement- I know a lot of cafes that wouldn't do this! It hit the spot. Mum opted for the beef burger that is accompanied with a generous serving of sweet potato fries. Fries were so goooooood. The coffee was okay, but then again- I'm a bit of snob when it comes to coffee. Hope to be back again. Thanks Little Clive :)

Cute little cafe just off Ipswich Road. The staff were friendly. The coffee was made to perfection. The food probably lacked a little bit of flavour.

Hiding just off a side street, which itself is a turn-off of Ipswich Road, Little Clive finds a blind spot and manages to give it a real physical appearance where people from around the near area and its neighbouring suburbs are starting to see this as the local. It has really transformed here from sleepy underdog to a solid competitor to the several good places around Annerley. For that, I commend it alone. <br/><br/>It was the weekend, or maybe it was a random day around the Christmas break (they tend to bleed in together), and it was time again for a usual finding of a new coffee place - and for me, that is always a free ride for a meal. While a lot of it looks like most of the same old, same old that plague Brisbane breakfast menus - what made it stand out for me was the atmosphere, and the service among good quality food. <br/><br/>This has the feeling of somebody's hangout. It is really laid back, even with so many mouths to serve right outside, or hanging around the coffee machine for orders on the go. Ergonomically, I find this has worked the best - the counter diagonal from the door's entrance. They make excellent use of the outside area, where there is an elevated patio that both fits several tables and puts people out of the way of foot traffic and is designed well for dog walkers. It is in the middle of a car park more or less, so don't expect too much in the way of ambiance. Music guests sometimes come along to perform. Really, anyone is welcome here whether it is kids, buskers or the pooch. Now that is the archetypal neighbourhood locale. <br/><br/>What also helps is the service. Again, this is the kind where you go up to the counter to order then pay, and go to a table to await the order. This time, I forget whether or not a table number was given - nevertheless is was still really efficient. They are very friendly throughout it all. Upon finding your table, they are nice enough to bring over some glasses and a jug of water without any prompts or having to be asked. Whoever is managing this place really knows what they are teaching, and those small gestures show a lot more in the long run. It shows that professional and friendly can intermingle really well. <br/><br/>Little Clives menu is appropriately little. As with most of the popular venues in Brisbane, most people are either coming here for breakfast or going on later in the day for a quick coffee. It is a really modest one, and there isn't anything really that is too outrageous or different among the selection of items. The main difference with Little Clive is that it does not act like an alternative, edge avenue for hipsters and has more of an honest local place for wholesome fare. That makes the world of difference, how they present themselves and describe what they are like. <br/><br/>On the breakfast menu, the number of items can be counted on two hands. A couple of sweet options start it off - and many more are available by looking in the cabinet if that is your thing. The rest of it takes a fairly health-oriented approach with plenty of fresh items used to spruce up the meals - locally sourced from the Rocklea Markets. It isn't anything too out of the ordinary, and contains a range of usual items. Don't worry if you feel like your big fry up, you are still covered. Overall, there is almost a half-half split between vegetarian and non-vegetarian options - that is a rarity from what I have seen. <br/><br/>Adding onto that, a few specials are behind on the blackboard - so you really are not short on options. Next is their lunch menu, which manages to be even smaller. The items are a few different salads and burgers, along with a couple of share snack platters. Also, the drinks menus is a streamlined selection. It is the usual choices for coffee, loose leaf tea, cold press juices, smoothies and milkshakes - nothing fancy, just honest options. <br/><br/>My dining buddy was going simple this time around, just a sweet and coffee. Being sharers, there was a lot of swapping going around the table. I tried a bit of his brownie and this was good. It had the right amount of chocolate for flavour and texture, and it was really smooth almost like liquid heaven - I could so go and get one right now. <br/><br/>The coffee that they use comes from Vivo, and this is one where I haven't really gotten any impression from it beyond it maybe being passable when you want a coffee. That changed when my dining buddy came across this place, and it contained a number of talented baristas - the doppio I had was really good, with fruity notes in the really strong aroma, and smooth crema. The temperature was not too hot, and the texture felt good in the mouth. I approve of it, and it perked me up. <br/><br/>The meal that I ordered was their grilled haloumi dish. This came with field mushrooms, two poached eggs (of course, with the yolks runny), kale, and a pistachio crumble. On the side I ordered some bacon, and asked for it to be crispy. What cannot be said is that the portions are lacking; I was snacking for quite a while on my dish and enjoying every bit of it. The kale was plentiful, and actually tasted good, the eggs were obviously free range and plump with the yolk running liberally around the dish, plus as an extra the bacon was quite generous (it is a crapshoot when asking for stuff on the side). The bacon was crispy, but for the real stand out aspect - it was the pistachio dukkah, which added a finishing crunch to the whole meal. <br/><br/>Usually when comparing a new place that has taken the spot of somewhere else, I am not really a fan of comparing, contrasting or anything like that and would rather critique the place of topic on its own merits. Let's not get mistaken, Little Clive was a great place and has a number of reasons that it is worth supporting. Two of the reasons are the heart and soul, and that is the point. The nicest service will never raise something if it cannot get people's interest nor show a personality, and that might have bested Bennies. Little Clive is a lot more enthusiastic, much more attuned to customer service and sharing media, and I find the food to be better. It has taken the predecessor's strengths, ran with them and tweaked where necessary, and built upon where they might have had a weak spot. Now, it is packed with people and it has earned it.

Cute little cafe. Food was good, staff were average. The matcha latte I ordered was a bit too sweet for my liking and although delicious, i wish the kale that was in my halloumi breakfast was cooked a little more!

H., decided that S., W., and I should go to Little Clive before work since they had amazing looking burgers and sweet potato fries on Instagram! It's located near the antique store in Annerley, its a bit annoying to find parking but there is some inside the shopping centre and across the road. There's not much to the cafe, it is very pet friendly though since there is a dog groomer right beside the cafe! We had a lot of fun looking at all the cute doggies there. There was a very cute little white dog that got left in the waiting room of the dog grooming while its bigger brother and owner went inside. It was very sad and kept sighing dramatically while looking at the grooming room.

I had a great morning at Little Clive. I couldn't complain with my breakfast and most of the staff were extremely nice and helpful! It was pretty busy which is good to see for a small cafe and the food came out quickly.

Little Clive is a great cafe for both catchups with friends and everyday eats. The food is interesting but not so wacky that you couldn't enjoy meals here on a regular basis. There is indoor and outdoor seating available and service is fast and friendly. We primarily sampled healthy options on the menu but there are some decadent choices for those with dessert cravings too. I spied some cronuts on their Instagram feed... maybe next time :)

This place had popped up on my Instagram feed. Pictures looked to good to be true! The staff are super friendly and service is quick, let down as the coffee and food was...basic but not bad, I just expected more.

Staffs are nice, I knew this cafe from Instagram,their photos are really impressive,but food was just ok.. We ordered crab burger which I think bread is from yesterday, a bit dry. Special choc fudge pancake, apart from the fabulous floss, nothing special and it doesn't look as good as image.And so does Cronut!!we shouldn't even call it Cronut!! Bad bad bad!! too dry,and not Fluffy like a croissant. I am disappointed.

Very attentive and lovely staff. However, we waited an hour from ordering for our meal. As much as we wanted to love the meals and the cafe, we were disappointed. The burger and eggs Benedict were quite dry. Coffee was average.

A nice new cafe with a nice feel. Friendly service, food was pretty good and nicely presented, coffee was on point all in a nice covered seating area outside.

Had a really great time at this new cafe. They use Vivo coffee which I hadn't tried before, but which I thought was really nice! The staff were really friendly and the food was beautiful - full of bright colours. I ordered the breakfast board and my friend ordered the smoked salmon. Both were amazing! :) We will be back to try out lunch soon.

My wife and daughter were served "pancakes" this morning which turned out to be an uncooked mess on the plate. "Sorry we must have run out of batter" was the excuse.!! What the........??<br/>Ordered French toast as an alternative. Waited ages and it was only average. Very disappointing given all the hype around this cafe. We won't be back.

Would be fantastic on a weekday but on the weekend, it was a disappointing experience... my husband and I got there at what admittedly was peak time on a weekend and the line was well and truly out the door. We made the choice to stay in line and the staff did try to manage the situation by asking how many people in each party and writing our names down and letting each party know as soon as a table was ready. After 40 minutes we eventually got a table. My husband went up to the counter to order and heard that the group of 6 in front of us had been given vouchers for free coffee for "waiting so long" - they waited literally 30 seconds longer than we did. Husband asked for a bottle of water - it never arrived (every single other table around us had water!). The food didn't take an eternity to come out but by the time it did, both of our meals were cold. But by that stage we'd been at the café for over an hour and given my husband is Diabetic and I'm pregnant, we couldn't afford to wait any longer to eat so didn't send it back. It's such a shame, because all the food looks beautiful and I'd been wanting to eat at Little Clive for a while but the whole experience was ruined by the wait time and the cold food. Oh and to add insult to injury, a poached egg rolled off my husband's plate and exploded on his leg... could have been quite funny but we were starving and in a terrible mood by then and did not see the funny side at all!! Would love to go back during the week when it's less busy to see what it's like but won't get the chance due to work.

At last a cafe that adds coriander & fresh chilli to their avocado! Not only that the avocado was chunky with the added bonus of a beautiful spicy dukkah. Only complaint (if you would call it one)was not enough chilli & coriander, but that's just my little quirk (high chilli tolerance-wouldn't be everyone's choice!) The coffee was well poured with a great crema, but lacked the strength I desire. Partner scored better his was stronger. I noticed someone on the next table having the same issue. Service was efficient & friendly, but you have to place your order at the counter

Little Clive is the perfect place for breakfast and lunch! The vibe is relaxed and they make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door! Don't even get my started on the food, from cronuts, pancakes with fairy floss to soft shell crab burgers you seriously cannot go wrong! The chefs have some serious skill. To top it off, got a pooch you want to bring along? they have the cutest little puppy area for your beloved pooch to take a break and have a drink! Can it get any better!

great coffee, super friendly staff and scrumptious breakfasts. Little Clive is a very welcome addition to the local cafe scene in Annerley. being kid friendly with easy parking get big ticks too.

Little Clive resides in Brisbane’s southern suburb of Annerley. Since opening three months ago, this little cafe has been on my radar. Head Chef, James Lander, is the genius behind the creative brekky and lunch menu. The menu has plenty of variety including sweet, savoury, healthy and indulgent options so there’s something for all taste buds. A popular dish and a personal favourite of mine is the smoked salmon on turkish, which comes with a generous serving of freshly smoked salmon, poached eggs, beetroot creme and pickled onions. As for lunch options, I would recommend the soft shell crab burger which is served between a fresh brioche bun and comes with a side of sweet potato fries. With a blackboard of ever-changing daily specials that features the likes of buttermilk pancakes with Persian fairy floss, I would definitely recommend a visit to Little Clive.

Came here just after it opened for a bit, love the interior design of it...hahaha and you got to see some kids around the block since there is a Kumon centre just right next to the cafe. food was great, food plating was great, coffee was great, nothing to complain.

A good experience for a morning brunch for the family. Liked the order & pay at the counter idea for so many people, it removed the pay the tab at the end splitting hassle.<br/><br/>All egg dishes on offer however they were all tasty, going on the reports from those present, and we had about 18 people so quite a mix. <br/><br/>Tables were set up a bit late (we had booked) but were quickly rearranged to suit our party. Plain but functional. Friendly staff and service was quite reasonable for such a large party ordering all at once. <br/><br/>Not expensive and a good alternative for those seeking a convenient, moderately priced brunch. Could perhaps expand the menu beyond eggs at this time of day.

Last weekend, I visited Little Clive for Breakfast and it was my first time there. It was a very busy morning and despite the large crowd, I was served and received my Breakfast promptly. The staff were super energetic and the Café had a great vibe. I had Blueberry Pancakes, with Maple Bacon and Ice Cream and it was delicious!!! It is the BEST place for Breakfast- I'll definitely be back for more!

Little Clive is a game changer! In a market where food and coffee lovers are searching the streets of Brisbane to find that perfect spot, look no further than Little Clive. I was blown away at the hospitality I received from the owners who mingle and chat with the  customers. It is was simply refreshing to find a cafe that delivers consistently great food and coffee while maintaining such a welcoming ambiance. As a recommendation, try the wagyu beef burger!

If you're looking for a place where owners and staff will greet you with a smile and cater to your needs, this is the place. I've always enjoyed their breakfest menu and their creativity. I'm looking forward to their lunch menu expansion :)

This place is amazing with an inventive menu. Great food, friendly staff and easy parking - what more do you need? FYI, the mushrooms are to die for!

My friends and I had the best experience here, service was friendly and food was cooked perfectly. Such a great atmosphere, definitely coming back!

What a wonderful addition to Annerley! A relaxing atmosphere with such honest and genuine service! The owners and their team are so delightful and are so concerned with ensuring everyone is happy, which is so refreshing to see. The coffee was delicious and the food was fresh, wholesome and served with a trendy level of sophistication. I am coeliac and the menu ensures that I do not miss out, with plenty of options available! This cafe is one to put on your list and I bet your first experience will keep you coming back for more! Top job guys at Little Clive, you exemplify all things fabulous!

I had heard friends raving about this new place in Annerley, so I though I would see what all the fuss was about. The first thing which impressed was warm and friendly staff that greeted me upon arrival. I ordered the Crispy Corn and Ricotta Fritters with Bacon and Baja Sauce. The fritters were sweet and balanced, the bacon was crisp and tasty and the baja sauce was amazing. An unreal first outing at Little Clive. Exited to try the rest of the menu. Double thumbs up!

A friend recommended this cafe to me and I am so glad they did!! From the beautiful food, quality service to a wonderful and modern atmosphere, I had a great experience at Little Clive. I ordered the Little Clive breakfast board of poached eggs on sourdough and a cappuccino which were both exquisite! The staff were so welcoming and friendly which gave the cafe a very good vibe. I would highly recommend people to visit this cafe and I know I will definitely be making regular visits!

Little Clive has recently popped up on the foodie scene in Brisbane. Boasting great coffee and gourmet breakfast and lunch options, we ventured out of our way to visit. Finally, somewhere that gives you less than 10 options. Yes, I am saying this is a good thing! Too many places are trying to do too many things and it just gets too complicated!! This morning we had the Grilled halloumi with buttered kale, blistered tomatoes and pistachio crumble on sourdough $16 – but made things difficult (sorry guys) by changing halloumi for poached eggs! The staff were more than happy to cater for our needs :)

I don't want to criticize a local place, but....needs work. Cold plates plus hot food does not work. I personally don't like eating off a wooden board. Bitter weak coffee. Hot leathery mushrooms served on lettuce. Perhaps just a bad day for me. I hope so.

So glad my friend suggested to go for lunch at this little cafe in our neighbourhood, they do all day breakfast which is a bonus, breakfast food for lunch how great is that?! Coffee was really nice, the do make pretty coffees! Had the halloumi, buttered kale and pistachio crumble and it was perfect! Thumbs up Little Clive!

New kids on the block Little Clive are bringing Brisbane's growing dining scene to Annerley. We thank them dearly! On this stretch of Annerley there are now three cafés, two which hardly open and choose a more balanced work/ life balance. Which has always irritated me as they open and close way too late/ early. Consequently I have visited Little Clive several times now, the food items are unwavering in their standards and they offer a great selection. Their coffee could definitely improve, considering that on of Brisbane's top coffee shops Dudley Street Espresso is across Ipswich road from them. Their coffee is good, but does not compete with Dudley Street Espresso (yet). I am looking forward to seeing how this new cafe blossoms on Brisbane's foodie scene.

One of the best breakfasts I've had in a while! Additions to the meals like pistachio crumble and edible flowers really cap the experience off. Can't wait to come back!

My partner in crime and I decided to try Little Clive out this afternoon on a lazy, shady Sunday for a (super late) brunch.<br/> <br/>Located just off Ipswich road in the heart of Annerley, we promptly received a warm welcome by two floor staff as we approached the front counter to request a table. We were informed to order and pay at the counter before we were seated (no issue for us when we are so cheerfully informed upon our arrival). Spacious, clean and cute design inside offered a relaxed atmosphere instantly. Fresh flowers on the table and surrounding shelves was a great personal touch. <br/>Food..<br/>I ordered a large cappuccino (I LOVE good coffee), my wife had a mocha. Both were very good and I would have ordered a second if we came in for breakfast. We shared the grilled haloumi with buttered kale, blistered tomatoes and pistachio crumble on sourdough - we added poached eggs and crispy bacon. The serving size was generous.<br/><br/>To keep it brief, the meal was excellent. The tomatoes were properly grilled grilled and of a good quality. The buttered kale was sauté'd and appropriately seasoned - the poached eggs were well timed with the yokes just oozing out when we opened them. Bacon was crispy! What more could you want?!<br/><br/>Bonus points for friendly informative staff checking back with us about our meal. We were tempted by the specials and 'In house' made cakes and sweets. We will definitely return and let our friends know about this local gem.<br/>

I cannot recommend this place enough! Everything from the coffee and food through to the service was impeccable. Such a cool, casual space serving awesome food and drink!

Amazing place, sexy vibrant food with a casual dining attitiude, couldn't ask for anything more from an amazing venue with impeccable food and incredible coffee.

Had a lovely late breakfast (early lunch) with some coffee to drink and a delicious Wagyu beef burger to eat. Had a great time, would recommend!! :)
