Chocolate Soldier

Chocolate Soldier Espresso Bar - Brisbane CBD. Unbeknownst to this place, I was only aware of the one "Chocolate Soldier" place in the CBD - the one near the library. From hearing being told by a friend, he led me to this other place near the law courts. It is possibly a greater find, much like the more known place (from an outside observer's perspective) it has a quiet atmosphere to it that attracts the professionals. The sweets here are great as is the drinks.

Service is really friendly and if you are a regular here, they probably are even more friendly. That appears to be a trend nowadays at most coffee places. It must be a wonderful oasis for the workers in the building, an ideal and perfect place for a coffee break. I would love to talk about it more, but I got the order on the run.

Before heading back home, I had a banoffee pie and an iced coffee (to calm down a *really* spicy lunch). I will say this much - THIS is what a banoffee pie should be. It was sweet and filling; the filling was very thick and many times that of the crust as well as using what tasted like actual banana. The iced coffee was also really good and simple, a bit of milk and lots of ice. To truly tell how well they do coffee I must try one of their cappuccinos hereafter.

In short, this is quite a good place that I can foretell more people knowing about and going to, if the coffee buisness in the city is not yet at saturation point.

I love this place for a morning coffee during the week! Allpress coffee is delicious and the chocolate on a cappuccino is somehow better than most. Friendly, fast and consistent.

Great coffee, even better food and way too many sweets😄🤣 Great team behind the counter, always friendly and don't spend their time gossiping like some cafes, so you get your beverage quickly. Love it!
