Review Brown Dog Cafe - Brisbane

A wonderful cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. They had heaters on outdoors so it was very comfortable. I ordered the breakfast burger, it was very tasty and hearty. Coffee was good, they also had a decent selection of smoothies and cold drinks. The almond croissant I had as a dessert was also amazing, one of the best I’ve had recently.

First time here :) We came for brunch and had the option of all day breakfast or lunch. The menu choices were all very appealing! Today we took advantage of $10 burgers with a drink purchase and were very happy with our choices :) Nice atmosphere, friendly service and great affordable food :) Will definitely be back!

First time getting coffee from here. Staff were friendly & accommodating. My mocha frappe was fantastic. Cappuccino & apple danish also enjoyable.

Friendly staff with pleasant voice. Food and coffee were nice. It's a busy little shop.

I had the chicken poke bowl this morning and it was incredible. Always super fresh and tasty food. With quick service and a cosy atmosphere I’m here weekly.

The one thing I like about eating out is trying new dishes and flavour combinations. Brown dog cafe didn’t disappoint. I tried the Korean omelet on the specials board and was fantastic. I’ll definitely be back for the chilli crab scrambled eggs 😋. Well done guys

Grab a table and order at the counter. We were sitting for ages thinking it was table service 😂😂! Busy place but the Food was really good. I recommend the banana bread French toast with Mascarpone and berries! It was delicious, perfect to share, as a whole serve was to much for me. The breakfast wrap was also great!

Best coffee place around Gabba if you want a good brunch. Good customer service. Almond croissant is so yummy.

Have not been back over four years. I do miss the dog statue near the front door. Walked in and found that it is as busy as before but looks more spacious. Ordered a coffee and croissant with ham & cheese.<br/>Coffee came first with very fine latte art, which made the whole drink very attractive. Taste and strength are no doubt the best. <br/>Croissant also shed its light on my brekkie. Carefully warmed up croissant sitting on a wooden broad with perfect preparation. Bingo!<br/>This brekkie is simple but certainly deserves full mark.👍<br/><br/>Last visit: July 25, 2015 Rating 4/5

Such an awesome cafe with all staff being attentive and super friendly. I love that they remember my order and my name! They go the extra mile too which I truly appreciate when it comes to coffee!!!

I had the eggs Benedict with salmon. It was average. Loved the fact that I didn’t have to pay extra for the salmon, and the dish was actually pretty inexpensive. I also had the strawberry shake. Don’t expect a natural strawberry taste! It was okay. Very Friendly staff!

Best Dirty Chai Latte un town!!!<br/><br/>Home brewed! 👌🏽😝<br/><br/>And dog friendly!!<br/><br/>Friendly staffs too!!!<br/><br/>Just great vibes overall which makes you forget the location!<br/><br/>

The friendly blonde girl still makes a great coffee, but the food has slipped with new management and is now really average. Such a shame because it was such a great little cafe.

Good food, great service and smooth coffee. Do not expect anything amazingly beautiful on a super expensive plate. The food is simple, flavoursome and quick. All the staff are super friendly and efficient.

Confident I was going to find a park, I travelled to Woolloongabba to try out Brown Dog Cafe. As I make an arrival, all the street parking was full... so I decided to wait around and luckily got a space near the cafe 👌🏻<br/><br/>Brown Dog Cafe gives out some rustic vibes. Furnished with some pastel coloured wooden tables and paired with tarnished chairs, it introduces a somewhat relaxing feel. Looking into their well layout menu, there were traditional breakfast choices on offer otherwise you might be interested in their 'Today's Special' board that's hung near the entrance of the cafe. I went ahead and ordered the Breakfast Bagel. My caffeinated beverage consisted of a Flat White today.<br/><br/>Coffee - Presented with a thin layer of smooth froth, a good brew and served hot.<br/><br/>Food - My Bagel was covered with Sesame Seeds and served with Bacon, Fried Egg, Swiss Cheese, Rocket and Tomato Relish (Added Avocado fro $2.00). The tomato relish had a mild spicy flavour. The Swiss cheese was fully melted and mixed in with the relish perfectly. Fresh rockets were then layered on top followed by 3 layers of nicely cooked bacon. Tasty ripe avocado and finished off with a beautifully cooked fried egg 🙌🏻<br/><br/>A cafe accompanied by friendly staff :)<br/><br/>Thank you, Brown Dog Cafe.

Last weekend, we decided to search for somewhere new to scratch the brunch itch. Living in the southside, we decided not to venture north of the river that morning. After doing some shopping at the nearby FujiMart, my companions and I headed to Brown Dog Cafe in Woollonggabba for a bite to eat. With the weather considerably cooling, we were glad to have come at this time of the year, as they didn't have air conditioning.

Great coffee and very well turned out baked goods, dished up by friendly, efficient staff.Their kitchen pumps out some very good dishes given the limited facilities, and there's inside or outside seating... But it fills up fast.

Did a random pop in to this place - wasn't sure what to expect when I first walked in but to my pleasant surprise I spotted a selection of 'fruit toast ' in the cabinet. Anyone who knows me knows my affinity for fruit-based bread so you can imagine my delight when I was introduced to their mango and coconut bread. Thick, lightly toasted with chunks of mango, this bread did not disappoint. The coffee was smooth and sweet (good beans).

Good coffee, a wide variety of baked goods, decent grill menu and ample street parking make Brown Dog Cafe worthy of a repeat visit.<br/><br/>Today I ducked in for a cookie for my daughter, an iced latte and croissant for my wife. I intended to be in and out in a couple minutes, but didn't realise that the croissant would need to be grilled and served with butter and jam. All of the cooking takes place on one large sandwich press and it was full of bacon eggs and haloumi, so it took about 10 minutes to get the croissant. In the end it was good, but not worth the wait.<br/><br/>Depending on the time of day there is virtually no shade to be found at the outside tables and on a hot day like today the inside heats up quite a bit.

This has been a favourite of mine for some years. Sadly it has changed hands a few months ago. The menu hasn't changed and many of the same staff remain, at least for the moment. But the happy open kitchen is not so happy these days, as on the day I was there I could hear a terse exchange from someone who appears to be the new boss to the staff. That would never have happened in the "old days". Shame to see the potential demise of one of the best Cafes around.

Slightly disappointing considering the reviews it has. The coffee was ok, the bacon and egg bagel was tasty and again, its order then sit so good luck with a table when its busy.

Excellent coffee, might be the best I have ever had, they make a perfect flat white , which is hard to find. They use espresso di manfredi blend, which makes their coffee a tad special too. Ordered their avocado on wholemeal toast, simple and nicely presented. <br/>they do the simple things and they do it very well :)

Love brown dog. They are genuine and have a great vibe going on. Went there for trivia once too and it was really fun. Really impressive what food and drinks they can produce in such a small space.

Great atmosphere in this relaxed, non-pretentious cafe. Good was good value for money and coffee was great. Would come again in a heartbeat.

Another place has done it again. In the ironic twist of fate, what looks unsuspecting, plain and in the middle of the least anticipated area is one of the darling jewels in the dining scene, this time for breakfast. It is the Brown Dog Cafe. <br/><br/>or quite a while, this has definitely been one place that both my house mate and I were trying to get to, but somehow just never have managed it. It has either been closed, or when Wooloongabba was the location for eating it was simply another place that was in mind. That being said, coming here was flirted with on many an occasion plus with it having an average score of 4.0+ - how could it not be on the hit list at some point? Like ripping off a bandage, it was just a case of getting here and that was that. <br/><br/>It is not just this site that shows how popular it is. Simply go to the place when it is open and it is more or less bustling. Even in going here that one morning, it was taking a chance. Putting the car into a park, I jumped out and ran over to see if there was any space - which there was right next to the door - and signaled to my dining buddy that it was all good. And thus starts the dining experience once again. <br/><br/>So the location of this one is as far from ostentatious as you could get from an initial look at the place. Backing a bit away from the populous place in the Gabba, it is within a small collection of high quality eateries at the tail end of Logan Road. If passing by here outside of the business hours, you would wonder if you are in the right location. The door is on an angle from the sidewalk, and there is not any kind of obvious indication that this is *the* Brown Dog Cafe (its namesake and signage might well pass for graffiti). Part of this design could well help with the whole interior look of the place, along with the vibe that it has going for it. Plus, when it opens up for business it is all a-go and there is no mistaking it that time. Even the sun shines in and makes it vibrant. <br/><br/>The inside has a funky vibe to it, once you sit down and settle in. A decent sound of music plays inside helps set the relaxed mood. At the same time, it is a really simple set up yet there are so many aspects around it to make the dining area look characteristic. It was much bigger than I thought from a look in, with another couple of tables tucked away from the view of the door. Some more are placed along the adjacent sidewalks, which is a testament to how well renowned this place has become in its own neighbourhood. Service is generally really friendly, which helps the vibe of the place further. It is really quick and efficient as well, plus the ordering process is that usual streamlining of counter service. <br/><br/>About the menu, we are talking fairly simple fare. The breakfast items don't really go much beyond things with toast, and most of the bigger dishes have fairly simple ingredients to build them up to meals. When it comes to lunch, the menu is basic cafe fare - just a smattering of the usual suspects more or less. If it is something a bit more simple for your taste buds, they have a cabinet that is full of sweets - cakes, cookies and whatnot. Drinks are tea, coffee, and milkshakes - plus other beverages in that vein. Later on, it gets harder with different sorts of ales, wines and lagers. The basic demands are all met here. <br/><br/>For me, the meal that I got was the dog's breakfast. That was a selection of foods on a plate, which was haloumi, avocado, spinach, tomato and toast along with a wedge of lemon. This was a fairly simple, yet admittedly tasty, breakfast dish. All of the chosen items were top notch quality - we had creamy avocado, juicy tomato and fresh spinach along with haloumi which is always a good choice. The bread was solid, and lightly toasted giving it the right amount of crustiness. Not really a whole lot to it, and it is definitely one of the healthier meals I have reviewed in some time. <br/><br/>Without any doubts, the coffee that I got was a doppio - what else could it possibly be? The coffee that they use comes from Di Manfredi, which can go either way and that depends on the quality of the barista's skills. They are definitely up to scratch at the Brown Dog Cafe. The coffee was strong, a good temperature, and the right level of extraction done to deliver it. Even more props are given to the way it was served, or more so the cup. I have not yet had a coffee served in what looked like a goblet - until now. Little touches like that always keep this hobby interesting. <br/><br/>As for my dining buddy, his choice was the "Dog's Roll". This is a simple toastie that had ham, a fried egg, and some cheese, with a pouring over of HP sauce. Basically, that is what it sounds like - wholesome, a little greasy from so much melted cheese, and the sauce makes it have a little bit of a vinegary taste. What helps is that it was on some good bread. <br/><br/>Afterwards, my dining buddy went right back to the counter and ordered a couple of sweets to round off the meal. They were a cherry ripe slice and a passionfruit slice. During some time when he was occupied outside, I snuck to the counter and then got a couple of coffee orders to go with the sweets (or mine, since his might have already been consumed by then). Both of these were solid desserts, that hit the spot after a decent breakfast. The cherry ripe was sweet, having a good amount of dark chocolate complimenting it, and all that pulp made the passionfruit slice equally as delicious. Both were on a good cake base, that was crumbly and well prepared. They were the right size to go with the coffee, and finished the meal of satisfactorily. <br/><br/>It may be a bit on the simple side, that is definitely one thing going against it, but there are certainly a number of more strengths that the Brown Dog cafe possesses that gets it to surpass all of those preconceived notions. Something has definitely been done right by this part, as it was every bit as enjoyable as they keep on saying it is. For that reason, a 4.0 is the right rating to showcase that a solid effort has both been put in, and thus matched for a nice, quick meal.

A dog is a mans best friend or so they say. I guess that this is because a dog is loyal, reliable, fun and always pleased to see you. The same could be said for this new blogs first review.<br/><br/>Brown Dog Cafe, Woolloongabba. <br/><br/>I've been a semi regular at Brown Dog for a while now and the experience from day one has always been a positive one. This morning once again I paid a visit with an old friend K, the friendship is old K certainly is not. Brown Dog Cafe is located on near the stadium end of Logan Road in Woolloongabba, parking is metered but plentiful and I am sure public transport is easy enough, not that I really know as the closest I get to public transport generally is an Uber.<br/><br/>Located on a small corner lot the cafe has a handful of tables inside and the same amount of pavement seating. Inside the furniture is traditional mismatched older style and outside seems to be all made from re-purposed materials. My experience is that no matter when you decide to go, and I strongly believe that you should, they will be busy but never so busy that one has to wait a long time to get a table. Counter service and payment in advance is the norm here as it seems to be in most cafes throughout Brisbane, this is somewhat of a pet peeve of mine but I won't go on about that just now as I feel that is worth of an article in itself. K and I retrieved menus from the counter and immediately found a free table inside and took a seat to catch up and decide on our order. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>Scrambled Egg on Toast (Toast served on the side) with a side of Bacon.<br/><br/>As I mentioned the place is small with an open kitchen/servery in which 4 or 5 staff deftly dance around each other preparing food and drinks in a way that is familiar to anyone who has working in a commercial kitchen. Busy like bees around a hive but never jolting or nudging against each other, if you haven't worked in the industry you may never have noticed this dance but next time you sit down to eat take notice, it can be quite inspiring to see staff weave around without verbal communication or error. <br/><br/>The menu is small and simple, a pleasant change from the complex trends of adding dukkah to everything or having complicated but invariably poorly executed cooking techniques that it at times seem the chef picked up by watching Masterchef the night before writing the menu. On the Breakfast menu prices range from $2.50 for toast with your choice of condiment to $20 for the "Big Dog's Breakfast" of haloumi, avocado, tomato, toast, scrambled eggs, ham and lemon. After a short chat we decided and I returned to the counter to order Scrambled Eggs on Toast with a side of Bacon ($15) for myself and a Dog's Breakfast (as above without the eggs and ham $13) for K who is a vegetablist. The coffees we choose to accompany this were a small soy latte ($4) for K and a large latte ($4.50) for myself. The young lady that served was friendly, polite and happy for me to explain once again that I hate soggy toast so please may I have my toast on the side. Refreshingly there was no need to take a number as Brown Dog have had the sense to employ staff that have the ability to find a customer without such a device, by I don't know looking probably. I returned to the table quickly followed by our coffees. As is my experience here the coffee was good, they serve Espresso Di Manfredi Classico blend which is a good all rounder, the milk well textured and at a temperature I like. No latte art but with creama hugging the sides of the cup as it should be. <br/><br/>Dog's Breakfast, like Dog's dinner but for breakfast, get it?<br/><br/>Soon after the food arrived via smiling server.<br/><br/>Consistency is key with Brown Dog, mine was a good portion of fluffy scrambled eggs well seasoned with just crisped bacon and well toasted buttered sourdough toast. K's face was a delight as she tasted the haloumi which had that soft buttery texture that indicates its only seconds off the grill. The portions are generous enough to be filling without being so large that one feels like a nap is required to aid digestion. Conversation slowed as we consumed our meals with both of us clearing savouring the simple but well executed flavours. Plates were cleared quickly and without fuss, we adjourned outside for a smoke before returning for another coffee each and the wrapping up of our catch up conversation. <br/><br/>Once again Brown Dog Cafe left me feeling sated and relaxed with nothing to complain about, many cafes could learn that to be great you need first to be good. Brown Dog Cafe is certainly that.<br/><br/>Food 8/10<br/><br/>Ambience 8/10<br/><br/>Coffee 8/10<br/><br/>Staff 9/10<br/><br/>Level of hangover 0/10<br/><br/>Should you try Brown Dog Cafe? A resounding yes.<br/><br/>I also publish my reviews on my blog "Hungover and Hungry".

Great service and great atmosphere with friendly staff. The menu is simple but very tasty and caters for all needs ans the coffee and drink selection is awesome.

Love the Brown Dog!! The food and coffee are consistently great. Can never go past the dog's breakfast with haloumi, avo and roasted tomato on sourdough. Simple dish - but done really well every time. The atmosphere is great too, and the staff always make you feel welcome.

Great service and decent coffee. Unfortunately poached eggs don't seem to be an option and the scrambled eggs appear microwaved. It can be really hot inside during summer which is a shame. The special was good and the takeaway options are quite nice.

Breakfast this morning was fruit and granola with yogurt. I wish they had given more yogurt as that was what was on the menu not milk. It was a nice meal though just a little slow on service.

Cool name, cool layout and cool outlook overlooking the street corner. Friendly service and very quick to get the food on the table. The choice of brekky options is simple but adequate. The "dogs breakfast" is great value, plus a fried egg on top and no looking back. The coffee is spot on, you get exactly what you ask for. We will definitely be back

Brown dog is the only certainty in my life, while my family always let me down this cafe is always there for me. Super food and coffee and tip top staff. :)

My girlfriend and I went here for brunch, we were greeted at the front door by a wooden dog who was expectedly lifeless, but once inside I was immediately impressed buy how super friendly and helpful the staff were. It was a really hot day and I don't remember if there was air con inside, but we decided to sit outside anyway and there was plenty of shade and a cool breeze. I ordered the Dog's Breakfast and also a Salted Caramel shake that the waitress insisted I get. I'm glad she did because it was the best salted caramel shake I've had, and I consider myself somewhat of a shake aficionado. (I've even been on a "Shake Crawl" before.) Anyway, it was ice cold and the perfect balance of salty and sweet, it also had the perfect amount of froth. The breakfast was good but not amazing. Pretty basic, but the halloumi was cooked just the right amount and came with a generous sized wedge of lemon. I like my tomato cooked a little more, but it was also a decent portion and was full of flavour. Over all I enjoyed my brunch but it would have been even better if there was an actual brown dog there to welcome you.

Finally managed to get a table at brown dog (it's very popular). We sat outside at a table in the shade though it would have been nice to be a little in the sun as it was a cool morning. The meal came out and it was very tasty. Enjoyed this place a lot.

This is a great little place making the best of what they have. Small but delicious menu and good coffee. I took my mum out to lunch yesterday and we both had burgers. I had the Brown Dog Burger and she had the special Beef and Bacon Burger. Both were cooked well and had fresh salad on them. They were not dropping with fat either like some burgers. I enjoyed my coffee. My mum would have liked a stronger flavor (her preference) but she said the coffee was made well. We then split a cherry ripe slice - it was amazing!!! The only draw back is going to be summer. It was very hot in the restaurant and it is only spring. I will return but I hope they get fans or aircon.

Visited Brown Dog for the first time this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the big dogs breakfast. Not a huge menu but good food nonetheless. Service was quick and the coffee was enjoyable.

Lovely cafe with amazing breakfast! Ordered fried eggs, avo and feta on turkish bread and it was delish. I also ordered a salted caramel milk shake and it was the best milk shake i have ever had, so amazing and would definitely recommend!

I go here at least once a week. Consistently good food and great coffee. The staff are always happy and laid back which gives the cafe a relaxed atmosphere.

Brown Dog Cafe was a nice little spot to go for breakfast. Nice food, good coffee and friendly wait staff. I had the scrambled eggs, toast and avocado- a very satisfying breakfast! It is a small venue so it is probably best to visit here in little groups.

How now brown dog ... A slow Monday morning, 'whiter shade of pale' playing in the background, the cheerful chatter of the staff. There are worse ways to start the week than a stop at the Brown Dog Cafe, a low key friendly cafe whose menu offers a range of choices, from rib sticking burgers to spinach pie to deliciously tempting cookies. The staff were warm and friendly and the decor is just the cheeky side of functional. I tried the cheeseburger, which I loved and my mum enjoyed her very generous breakfast of perfectly cooked scrambled eggs, tomatoes and avocado. While plain, the food is distinguished by classic combinations and quality ingredients - definitely a goodie.

Best in Bris. Brown Dog is hands down the best food, coffee and service in Brisbane. I tell everyone to go there. Their ONLY downfall however, they're not open weekends! :'( My poor boyfriend can never enjoy their breaky because he works during the week...so I send him photos of mine.

Friendly staff + Delicious food. Not a lot more you can ask for. Service was quick and food was delicious. The Dog's Breakfast had bountiful avocado and some lovely haloumi, I couldn't finish but wish I could have, it was exactly want you want in a value for money cafe breakfast. The staff were really pleasant and very personal, they seemed to know a lot of the regulars by name and really seemed to care about everyone, which was nice to see. Will definitely be going on my list of go-to breakfast places, if not for other meals as well!

Excellent value and a great place to hang out. I always come back to Brown Dog because it's a friendly place with the best value breakfast in Brisbane. The coffee is consistently excellent, and the food choices (lunch as well as breakfast) are interesting, fresh and delicious. Christian and his staff make everybody welcome, and are cheerful and efficient even at peak times. This place has a great Brisbane hangout because it appeals to everybody - businesspeople, cyclists, tow truck drivers, locals - and offers excellence without any pretentiousness.

Sensational experience. Stopped at The Brown Dog after the MND challenge-cold call,no research-best decision!!really good coffee,had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon,dill creme fraiche,toast+rocket-classic flavour,awesome serving and quality food served by lovely staff.very highly recommended!

Heard good things about this place and we weren't disappointed. Great food, friendly staff and good coffee - three things that are hard to find in Brisbane. We'll definitely be back!

Would eat there again. The service was average, the food is humble and simple, never had better Vegemite on toast!!! <br/>It's small and over crowded when full, but it's worth the quality of food and price you pay. <br/>I would go back again and I would recommend to eat before 9am playgroup starts there

Great service!. Visited this lace for the first time after the storms the other week and had a great experience!

Terrible service - won't go there again.. Awful awful customer service. Waited more than 40 minutes only to be told they had forgotten our order. Then for the guy at the counter to have the nerve to still charge for the coffee regardless. Any other cafe would gladly refund in full or even throw in a free muffin to apologise for the error.

Poor service. First visit this morning, found service quite lacking. Waited 15 minutes for coffee, at 30 minutes food hadn't turned up. During this time watched several people come, eat breakfast, and leave. On querying the staff, our order was only just being started. Very disappointing after rating and other reviews. Did not wait for meal after lacklustre service.

Another fine brisbane cafe. This place has everything you want in a cafe - great vibe, friendly staff, good coffee and good food. Their take on avo on toast features goat's cheese and, intriguingly, carrot jam, creating an excellent combo. It's always a pleasure to come to places like this. Highly recommended.

Brown dog brekky and coffee. The coffee is just the best! smooth and velvety just how coffee is meant to be. the brekky isn't bad either. yummy and filling.

Made with love. My sis works here & made me this generous bite. She adds a particular secret ingredient "love" to make everything taste absolutely delicious!<br/><br/>The staff here are always happy, having fun and serve with a smile. Café bustle is great too combined with some background tunes.

Love this place. Their Big Dogs breakfast is a protein hit that keeps me going all the way to dinner. Not exactly cheap, but the food is great.

Happy, Delicious and Easy!. I work down the road so our whole office frequent Brown Dog. May I just say that the Summer Pineapple & Mint Frapes are to die for, especially on a hot day! I have enjoyed a selection of the toasted sandwiches (Mediterranean veg / salami / tuna), the pulled pork roll with summer slaw special is DELICIOUS. My colleague loves the spinach pie thing. The staff are friendly and always remember our faces. They have recently opened on Friday afternoon/evenings with liquor licence. It's a great little spot to unwind on a Friday after a long week. Easy menu - drinks and nibbles. Highly recommended for a boutique cafe/bar experience.

Almost perfect!. How nice to find a combination of friendly efficient service, great coffee and really delicious food. Combined with a good selection of newspapers, very reasonable prices, easy parking and a great soundtrack playing the only thing I think could improve it for me is if you were to move to the northside :) REALLY impressed guys..you put so many other places in Brisbane to shame..thank you!

Dogs breakfast. Amazing. Haloumi! Spinach! Avocado! <br/>Delicious. Cute little cafe.

Fantastic. I have been a patron of Brown Dog for 5 years and I have NEVER had a bad experience. The food is fresh and delicious, the staff are amazing and super friendly and the atmosphere and decor are wonderful. Can 't fault it. The coffee is DiBella which is my absolute favourite and every coffee is made to perfection. Five star - and I am a harsh critic!

Home away from home. Love this place. Friendly staff, great coffee, prompt service and tasty food. One of the nicest cafes on the south side.

Great friendly service, nice menu & reasonably priced. I come here most weekends for a coffee and avo on toast. It's a very chilled place to be!

Yes and no. Well priced breakfast options. The "Dogs breakfast" is delicious, and they actually have good haloumi! The coffee was supreme. At first I though seeing the kitchen behind the counter from my seat was cool. But when I could see one of the chefs making my food I was a bit weirded out. My advice is sit away from the kitchen or looking out the window. It was also a bit hot and smoky inside and smelt of feet. Kind of. But I'd still go back!

"Well f**k my brown dog". Travelled to Melbourne once to find the best food & coffee. Had to catch a plane back to Brisbane to achieve my goal. <br/>Breakfast/lunch goodies so fresh & tasty.<br/>Coffee always excellent.<br/>Brown Dog service is amazing.

A lovely breakky spot! Very pleasant service and scrumptious, reasonably priced meals. The scrambled eggs were really fluffy and the home made beans were very flavoursome. Coffee hit the spot. Glad we visited Brown Dog we will definitely return!

Brown Dog Breakky!!!!. Always go there for breakky and am never disapointed, so much so that weekly visits are a must.<br/>The staff are wonderful and the atmosphere, music and decor are so chilled.<br/>A great place for coffee, breakky and lunch.<br/>And they always have the daily paper too!

Great service and great food. Tried the blondie and lemon tart which were really dedelicious.

This is the best breakfast cafe in Brisbane, hands down. Try and avoid the weekend mornings as there are people out the door due to its excellent food and service combo.

Great cafe with some of the best made coffees and super friendly service. Their chicken pesto Turkish sandwiches are to die for!

Cute and yummy cafe with fun and nice staff! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is relaxing and quirky. Love this place!!!!

A good place for watching people. It seems to be a favorite spot for families with kids/dogs (as its name suggests) and cyclists. My girl friends and I shared a table with a lovely couple with a big dog. Our food came really slow, but people working there were so apologetic. Coffee came promptly and tasted not too watery though it was not extremely good, but quite enjoyable. I do not mind going back there to catch up with friends as long as I can find a table!

Fabulous little cafe. Excellent coffee, simple and delicious breakfast topped with great service. Well recommended.

Came here and sampled one of their specials, a 'tomato, basil and mozzarella toastie' with an espresso. The atmosphere of the place is pretty good and a decent setting to sit and sip a coffee, but for eating the whole experience is decidedly average. Service is over the counter, so those typically high service salaries are apparently earned for very little actual service - i tried to hail a waiter walking past and he actually looked towards me then ignored me! The prices for the meals are actually pretty good compared to most places but the food from my admittedly small sample failed to impress. The tomato was off, the mozarella tasteless, the espresso burnt. Still, I'm prepared to give it another go - Brisbane is limite for choice after all. Also note there's no liquor licence, so no drinks over lunch.

Wait wait ... Woof woof. Beautiful sunny Saturday morning, hungry and in need of Woof woof. Staff is friendly, place looks great and the price is absolutely right. But the wait ... oh the wait ... finally it arrives and WOOF the food went down like the tasty treats for a hungry dog.<br/><br/>Burritos, the windy way to start a day.

Went there for brunch with a friend a few weeks ago.<br/>simple menu with great food and coffee. Would definitely come back again soon. :)

Great little place. Fount this place by accident, and I have to say, it is one of the best little cafes I have been to in a while. will be coming back!

Excellent spot for brekky! Loved the decor, the food and most importantly, the coffee!!

Great Sundat brekky! I was expecting to have to fight for a table, but it was a super relaxed morning. Great Dog's Breakfast (can't go wrong with haloumi in the morning) a lovely and not at all bitter green tea (great to see a place that respects the tea drinkers) and no pressure to move on when we had finished eating. I will definitely return!

Quaint little hole in the wall <br/>A good little vibe

I just love this place the staff are so lovely and welcoming and the scrambies are the bomb! Love that that serve lemon wedge with the avo it's the little things that make all the difference! Love it going to make it a regular!<br/><br/><br/>-----10 Apr, 2012-----<br/><br/>Best scrambled eggs in Brissy!. Awesome coffee, best scrambled eggs, thick, fluffy, it's a shame they dont add some nitrate free bacon to the menu!

Breakfast that is affordable and delicious. Furniture is not the most comfortable, but the price is right. Full breakfast for 20, or avocado on toast for 8. Both choices are quality ingredients served with care. If you don't mind sitting on a wobbly plank or a milk crate, check this place out.

Best EVER!. This lil place on an urban street corner, makes it a delight to have weekend coffee. the owners are such warm people and the crew have been around for a while now. Great lil menu and best coffee in town! 10/10

Coffee with a smile. Great staff, service location and the coffee is great to!

Great little place to have brekkie. The scrambled eggs are superb. Shame there's no air con on hot days.

This is literally your corner shop cafe that makes weekend coffee a great experience. This place is great for its coffee and breakfast. They welcome young children because the owner's wife brings her own kids here on the weekend. One of the Best in Brissy!!

Had a great morning here. Brilliant coffee, service and value - had a lovely time when some cyclists came over for a post-ride stop and we had a good chat. Staff were really good with keeping everyone happy even with lots of people coming in and out. I think the cosy set up is a great way to have a little chat with people around you. Also, I loved the way the fruit toast was presented on a little bread board!

Have the Dogs Breakfast..... To Die For !!!!

Nearly there!. My wife used to go past every day on the bus before we moved to Melbourne 3 years ago and have always wanted to try - so we did last weekend. This little joint has so much going for it - location, service, atmosphere, prices and setup. The food options for breakfast are limited and somewhat simplistic and lacking imagination. I had the breakfast burrito special which was close to being a cracker but lacked a few touches that closed the deal! My sisters haloumi also had the right elements but just missed the mark. Good coffe. A liitle more imagination with the food and some unique finishing touches and this cafe could become a regular.

Diana. Been here twice for coffee once for brekky. Coffee was average a tad too weak for my liking. Enjoyed brekky had the dogs b/f the tomatoe was devine as was the sourdough & avo- haloumi could have been chunkier though. My partner didnt enjoy the dogs roll, too much HP & no butter on the roll & the ham not very impressive

Nice breakfast, simple menu with quick service. You won't get anything fancy here but the coffee is good and if you want something like a bacon and egg roll or fruit toast then it is your place.

Foodgasm.... Big Dig's Breakfast and Raspberry Cheesecake!

I love Brown Dog! We've been a few times now and everytime the food, coffee & staff have been awesome. The cafe has a very friendly and cosy vibe to it. I do recommend that if you jead there on a weekend be prepared to wate as it is very popular, though well worth it!

Loved it. I went here on the weekend, had the avacado on sourdough with lemon, which was the best i've ever had, and great value for $7.50. They also have secret recipe iced tea, and that non-alchoholic german beer - some interesting options! The iced tea was great and i'll be back to try the beer. My wife got their iced mint pineapple frappe which was perfect.<br/><br/>Other options on the menu looked good too, the food coming out was well put together. I'll be back for sure. Didn't try the coffee but they serve a di bella blend if you are wondering, and the machine they use is a Wega if i remember correctly. <br/><br/>I liked the theme of the cafe (dogs!) which was done in a fun way. <br/><br/>Only suggestion i have is if they can, some more seating outside where they is plenty of space on the other side of the cafe, would be great. This place reminded me a bit of de clieu in Melbourne.

Had breakfast here on Sunday, food the service very good, the food very tasty, but found the venue very hot and sweaty, as also the menu isn't that big. If a lover of full Sunday breakfast and section then this is not your place!! But worth a look if a casual feed is needed

Awesome place, awesome staff, awesome service, food and coffee. Highly recommended.

Nice but .... Nice little place - good coffee, solid food but not open Sundays which seems a pity.

The coffe and service is always first class!

Tops!!. This is a great little place, nice atmosphere, really pleasant staff, a reasonably priced menu and good coffee! Can be crowded at peak times, but still service is efficient and friendly. Lovely in the morning before work or after a night shift! All this and you get a prime view of an architects vision of a Jacaranda Tree!! (you'll know if you've seen it! I wish they'd share whatever they were on)

So friendly, great coffee & nice sanwiches. Dog-friendly and great atmosphere. Furniture and home-ware shops nearby. Parking sometimes difficult.

Great cooffe and perfect service!. Brown Dog Cafe is a favourite of locals and visitors. Owners Christian and Lucy have built a great reputation with fantastic coffee and good food, this Gabba corner is a sleek, casual & extremely friendly place to have a light lunch/Saturday brunch. (corner Logan Road & Nile Street)

When plans to exercise fall through, it is always best to console yourself with a delicious breakfast. The mid-morning breakfast club, formally known as the early morning yoga club, met at Brown Dog Café in Woolloongabba. Brown Dog Café had been on my list for a little while as I had heard it was a dog friendly place and planned to bring Puppy Cakes, once the weather was cool. But I was happy to go their for a preview. Nice selection of baked goods. Brown Dog Café sits on a sun drenched corner, just outside the main café drag of the Logan Road cul-de-sac. It's popular with bicyclers, who come resplendent in their too tight lycra, sharing more about their downstairs mix-ups than I care to see. But don't let that put you off, it's easy to escape the bait shop inside.  Stay cool, indeed. I see you up there, Bud.  Inside

...slowly savoured our food and drinks as well as stayed on to chit-chat.<br/>It’s a really lovely place with efficient service, aromatic coffee and pretty delicious food!

Hubbie and I had a little discussion and we’ve come to the conclusion that<br/>Brown Dog is probably the best breakfast place around town that’s relatively cheap!

Not only the best coffee in Brisbane, but I am confident in saying, the best coffee I have ever had. Why? Yes, the beans are roasted well, and the coffee is bold and outspoken, however, it is the quality of the milk froth that catapults this coffee into the stratosphere. It is luscious. Thick and velvety like a mouth blanket. And it's no one-off. It's like this every time. But as if a cafe with Max from Where the Wild Things Are  adorning their façade could be bad...

All in all, I think Brown Dog Cafe is a good place to get your usual takeaway coffees or grab a quick bite when you’re in a hurry. Coffee was good, but the food was just average, in my opinion.

Brown Dog is a modest, little café with loyal local patronage. Despite its laid back, ‘slacker’ vibe, it is very efficiently managed by a team of friendly staff who always mak

Tomato and haloumi were grilled to perfection with fresh avocados but the scrambled eggs were just all right ... Maybe go there for their coffee and milkshake instead?

The food on offer at Brown Dog Cafe is perhaps as simple as its appearance, so simple that the cafe doesn't even have a commercial kitchen, but nonetheless our experience on Saturday morning proves that the cafe is capable of providing palatable breakfast fare.

A local favourite cafe at Woolloongabba - Simple and Sleek . My childhoold friend Mr J is back in town so we decided to check out the famous Pearl Cafe for breakfast on Saturday morning. When we arrived at 10:30am there was already a long queue and we wer
