Last weekend, my boyfriend and I went to The Ponycat which is a cafe located at New Farm. I’ve been here once for coffee, but not really a meal so we decided to try their breakfast. I found out that the staffs were Taiwanese and they not only sell Western style breakfast, but they also do Taiwanese style dinner on Friday and Saturday night.

New Farm is surrounded with many nice brunch cafes. I'm normally reluctant driving there purely because it can be troublesome finding a place to park. But yesterday I got lucky and found some residential parking available (thank god!) 🙏🏻
There was a time where Ponycat breakfast photos flooded my Instagram, and since then I've had this placed pinned on the back of my mind. As I entered the cafe for the first time, the counter area immediately drew my attention to the quirky menu layout on the blackboards and the drawings on the walls around 😺
Greeted by a staff, I was then told to take a seat as it is all table service. The menus were provided and my eyes were instantly scanning to see what I fancied. The eggs benedict seemed popular and I was feeling some nice poached eggs, so I settled with that and a flat white coffee.
Coffee - Unfortunately, was only served warm and the brew wasn't strong enough for me either. Guess I'll be needing the double shot & extra hot combo next time 🙂
Food - The breakfast changed things around though. Served on a long sourdough toast that was lightly toasted, were some fresh spinach, perfectly cooked bacon and two beautiful runny poached eggs. The hollandaise sauce was very tasty as well. MUCH ENJOYED!! 🙌🏻
Friendly staff :)
Thank you Ponycat!
Tucked off Brunswick Street in New Farm, PonyCat is a lovely welcoming cafe that serves good food and coffee. With funky murals and cute découpage tables, this is an ideal spot to catch up with friends. Ordered the smoked salmon on rye - the toast was just right (not too hard or soft). The only setback would be the pickled cucumber; I personally feel that they were too sour to my liking. Enjoyed my cup of latte, highly recommend the coffee here. Overall, my friend and I had a pleasant brunch here and the staff was very friendly.
Wonderful and filling brunch. Avocado, grilled halloumi, poached egg, tomato, spinach, and two slices of bread with a balsamic drizzle. Very fast service. Small place in a cool neighborhood.

Finally found a cafe that is not overpriced but still nailed everything. They have fantastic food and drink. I tried the special, roast pork belly with fried eggs, wilted greens and mojo sauce" and detox smoothie. Everything tasted amazing and seasoned to perfection, and the portion size was really good. For my smoothie, it had a lot of veges, so I felt a bit adventurous ordering it, but it was so refreshing, and everyone at my table loved it. I will definitely be back!
Went for breakfast at 8 am in Saturday. At that time there was just one other couple but it didn't take long for the place to fill up! The menu was good with a nice variety of dishes. Coffee was great and service was very efficient without being over the top. I had the lentil and quinoa salad which was delicious with smoked salmon and roasted nuts. Prices were also very fair. Certainly one to try
Brisbane’s inner-city suburb of New Farm is definitely spoilt for choice in terms of unique cafes. On the outside, Ponycat has an unassuming facade and you probably wouldn’t think twice about it if you were walking past. However, it’s a different story once you step inside… it’s a cute and quirky little space perfect for Sunday brunch.
One of the prettiest and most delicious chia puddings I've had! The colours are simply exquisite on the plate and the roasted macadamia nuts give the dish that extra crunch and toasty goodness. Their coffee is also smooth and yum (mmm campos beans, my favourite).
Love this place! Visited for brunch on weekend with friends. A lovely brunch spot serving exceptional food. Really fresh ingredients and tasty combinations. Will deifinitelt be back again!
I've been to Ponycat three times now and can't fault the food. The menu's a great combination of healthy and naughty options. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Table clearing could be a it speedier, as we sat with a cluttered table for quite a while after we all finished eating, but in the greater scheme of things it's not too much of a worry.
Friendly service. Great coffee and a suprisingly amazing muffin (strawberry, blueberry and pineapple) yummy
Run by a lovely young couple, I grab coffee here regularly and have never had a bad one - I have seen them custom-tune how they make it for people wanting a stronger one and fine tune the machine settings as the morning was warming up outside! They take coffee seriously :-)
They use really good quality ingredients in their meals - I've always come away satisfied :-)
Bit different, bit fun, nice local business
Food was simple but pretty tasty. Had the green mountain. Coffee was alright, a little too light for my taste. If I worked or lived nearby I'd come here. Otherwise, not really worth a detour to come to.
Simple and tasty food, friendly staff and always good prices. Breakfast and coffee for under $15! Gets busy after 9am on weekends so try to be there a touch before to get a spot. Great for a quick meal or catch up with a group.
I love places that offer breakfast most of the day. They also sometimes offer a range of milkshakes with more than the standards like caramel and banana etc. Great artwork on the walls and tables too. Nice place
Could take the crown for best breaky in Brisbane (all day). We had the Green Mountain and it was a taste sensation. Casual, chilled setting and food made with pride and love. We'll be back. Thanks chef.
Nice coffee, food and cozy service with reasonable price. I wish I can have this Cafe in my neighborhood. However I'll still hit this place often. :-)
This place is the best!! Friendly and super-helpful service (once the chef actually came out showed me a herb I had asked about), seriously delicious food with heaps of veg options, decent portions and really reasonable prices. Definitely recommend this place for a casual and cosy atmosphere and yummy stuff (-:
