Great little joint with lots of seating upstairs, downstairs and outside! I can by just be for the lunchtime rush to catch up with a friend. I have heard lots of good thing about this place and it’s rated one of Brisbane’s most Instagram worthy places to go to.
Really good service, the staff were friendly an attentive. The menu was ok, I guess I was expecting a few more options than what was presented. Non the less I picked the pumpkin salad and boy was I amazed!!! Sooooooo yummy and sooooo pretty! I would totally recommend coming here for salad! 👊🏻
The coffee here is very good & well presented but we definitely needed those double shots to reap that smooth flavor. The toasties are also tasty with thick bread. I ordered a vegetarian one & it had a great spiced flavor & plentiful selection of fillings
Not the first time to have coffee here but the first time to have a light brekkie in one Sunday of early September. Walked in when the café just started the day's trading. Took a seat at the back and ordered the coffee to go with the Truffle Salami Toasties. Coffee was well presented with strength and taste that tailored to my palate. Toasties was made of generous portions of salami and cheddar. I love the additional spicy mayo, which deliveries the subtle degree of hot element. This innovation deserves thumb-up :)

My partner and I often come here for a late breakfast but the food is always great! We love it when we haven’t been for a while and the menu has changed so we can try something new again, since once you love something we always tend to get the same thing 😆 Apart from that sometimes since they are so busy on the weekends, try to go early since there’s been a couple of times they’ve been sold out on some of the popular dishes.
Hands down my favourite place for coffee in this neighbourhood. Setting is cute, love they have outdoor area, through inside sometimes hot in summer. Food is always great
Second time here! Great to have this to start a day ❤ everything is fresh and yummy (those lovely mushrooms 🍄), always wanna to be back again.

I really enjoyed the lunch at @kingarthurcafe yesterday. A delicious sandwich ($12) with an espresso milkshake ($7.5). Now I can't remember all the ingredients on this toasted sandwich but it was along the lines of poached chicken, cucumber, dill & spinach on @sproutartisanbakery bread. The chicken was moist and flavoured really well with a strong dill taste.
The cafe is pet friendly too which is a plus
Interesting menu, had very tasty eggs and sausage! Friendly staff. Had nice cold pressed juice. Very tastefully decorated too. Definitely one of better Ne Farm cafes. I'll be back for sure!
Portion size was huge & once again staff were more than happy to alter their dishes to suit the vegan in me. We sat upstairs & was left alone most of the time, coffee was delicious too
Updated review 23/12/16: so this morning I visited King Arthur for brunch again and what could have been a disaster ended up a really positive experience - they forgot to enter my order into the system and when they realized the error they made accommodations for me that I didn't expect but was glad they did - this differs from other experiences at other establishments as they caught the error and apologized and they made amendments which I didn't think they had too. It definitely turned an experience which I wouldn't have returned into one that makes me retain them on my recommendation list and want to visit again
Original review 26 Aug 2016: I can see why this place is so popular (which doesn't mean I'd line up for it, but before 9 on a weekend and you should be fine). The coffee was good, the polenta dish was soul warming and filling
Coffee here is good, and the food is simple yet flavoursome with a focus on quality and local produce. Highly recommend. Not pretentious like many other cafes popping up nowadays.
Lovely, interesting food always presented nicely. Beautiful decor and place make it a very enjoyable time out. I've been here a number of times and am always happy with the food, however the service is a hit and miss. Most recently, I took my family here for what was meant to be a nice lunch to catch up over, but unfortunately we were served by one of the rudest waitresses I've met - way too good for us and her job, and very unfriendly. So disappointing, as rudeness immediately ruins the mood, and it's hard to enjoy the meal (and make your family believe that it actually is a nice cafe to come to!)...
Went there with friends for brunch on busy Saturday morning. Had the fish omelette, seared mushrooms and flourless chocolate cake. All of them tasted great, especially the cake, not to sweet with a bit of raw cocoa bitterness. For drinks we ordered soy latte, cappuccino and banana smoothie. Smoothie is average, you can make better one at home. Despite the friendly service, waiting time was rather long and took us almost 30 minutes for them to arrive.
Our breakfast location was King Arthur Cafe in the Valley. Don’t worry, there are no Knights of the Round Table themed dishes. The cafe is named after Arthur St, where it’s located. Menus fall into two categories. Those with little to tempt and those with far to much to choose from. King Arthur fell into the second. Was I going to have the smoked fish omelette w green mango, roast pork belly w sweet potato hash on the breakfast special or the goat bahn mi? So much to choose from. In the end I opted by the local mushrooms w harissa, zucchini fritters, labneh and poached eggs.
A great place for coffee or if you can wait then excellent breakfast. The latest version of their omelettes with smoked fish is absolutely amazing and a must-try. The juices are fresh and sizeable and coffees perfect. Looking forward to their next version of omelette when they change their menu (it really is that good).
King Arthur does justice to simple ingredients, with clever combinations and inviting presentation. The food is delicious and the service is friendly and efficient. The building, and music that fills it, creates a relaxed and cool ambience. This is how it's done.
A place that lives up to the hype. A few friends had recommended and it took me a while to actually go, but so glad once I did. I have been back a few times now. Service is usually efficient and food is always lovely.
The food is definitely on a pricier side but both dishes were flavoursome with the steamy congee being a knockout option. A soft boiled egg sat atop layers of tender meat, juicy shiitake mushrooms, and brown rice cooked just to the right texture.
Tried the new menu this morning- had the smoked local fish and loved it! Great flavours, drinks are amazing and coffee is great! It is hard not to pick up a pastry on the way out. The meal portions aren't huge but still really satisfying, love this place
King Arthur is a must visit if you are in New Farm/The Valley. Fresh pastries daily from Sprout Bakery as well as in house baking and an outstanding breakfast/lunch menu accompany the most excellent tasting and consistently made coffee I've found around Brisbane. Lovely staff and a calm, inviting aesthetic will make you feel at home.
pleasantly surprised after the line ups I've witnessed driving past after opening I decided to wait until the 'new place for breakfast' hype died down a little. Great fit out, I think I could move in! I've been twice with a different menu each time, winter menu seemed like the spring menu & it's spring the menu seems to be more winter orientated but anyhoooo it all looks great either way! Clean pressed juices are a must, vege juice is addictive. Mushroom main was super yummy and omelette equally yummy. Menu has a good mix for the breakfast experimenters on the sweet and/or savory options plus the good 'ol traditionalists can still have their bacon & eggs. Recommended for a visit!
I came to realise I now have the perfect excuse to visit cafes outside the chaotic weekend hustle – a godsend when you need a little extra room for a baby pram at the table and just want some quiet to glance at the news.
I am always craving sweet breakfasts lately, and had my eyes on the Sourdough crumpets with rhubarb and honeycomb crumble. Being sourdough, the crumpets were very dense and although they soaked up the rhubarb very well, I was really looking for something creamy on the plate as well, some mascarpone perhaps? The honeycomb was generously spread across the crumpets and was divine.
Best food and coffee I have had in Brisbane for a long time. Staff are very friendly and service is fast. Definitely our new favourite spot!
King Arthur Cafe made it onto my hit list; boasting baked treats, good coffee and delicious food. When we were in New Farm it was the first thing that popped into my head. All day breakfasts are all the rage at the moment. Although I was disappointed that when our waitress mentioned the specials most of them related to changes to the menu because they were out of stock. We opted for the Mt Cotton Mushrooms and the salad of the day and dear lordy were they delish!
Judging from the crowd of people waiting for a table on Sunday morning, King Arthur needs no introduction. Opened recently just off James Street, it is brought to you by the team behind @merriweathercaf. Housed in a beautiful old two story building, it is a lovely albeit loud space filled with lovely blue tiles. Our group of five squeezed around half of the large table upstairs (there aren't a lot of large tables), and enjoyed the avocado on rye with bay leaf ricotta and pistachio; the sourdough crumpets with rhubarb and honeycomb crumble; the slow cooker goat with tomato and sourdough; the grilled flatbread with chickpeas, beans and a fried duck egg and I indulged in a special of bread and butter French toast with roasted pear and ricotta. Service was very attentive and friendly.
First visit today and loved it. We can't wait to come back and try more.
Nice place and they have a good sizes table upstairs for larger group. The staff is super friendly and quick to help.
The menu options are interesting and not the usual but none of us were disappointed. The pumpkin waffle in particular is one to try!
Overall a place worth visiting for a great cup of coffee and for delicious food.
I like the ‘hole in the wall’ window opening to the street that they have for grab and go coffee. There is a nice vibe to it. I think this also results in the inside of the cafe being a little more relaxed and separated from the events of the street.
Inside is spacious enough but the seating is a little weird (unergonomic), lots of small stools and small tables. I’m not that tall but upstairs with the arched walls and ceiling I also felt like l I was hunching a little.
The food was good, reasonably priced, and I was certainly satisfied with the size. My two main notes, zucchini felt a bit light on but must have been nearly a whole avocado in the bowl. Thinking about a cool quiet morning gives the outdoor seating options appeal.
A lovely spot for a healthy breakfast and incredible quality coffee. I highly recommend the green bowl - it was deconstructed and really satisfying! The salmon gravlax was also really tasty and very refreshing.
Me and my friends were away for the weekend in Brisbane. Saw the good reviews and definitely could not recommend it more. We had a blast, great food and staff!
Salmon tartare was my favorite 🤩
Perfect place for breakfast or brunch.
Food and service was great.
Staff is lovely.
I'll be back if I am around Brisbane again.
Great matcha latte and brunch offer!
Service was great - the girls were nice and caring, food came out fast.
Bread was good and products fresh.
I would definitely recommend.
Great food and nice layout with an upstairs dining area as well but really it was the breakfast. Went there both mornings for scrambled eggs on toast. Very well prepared and very good helping, but what really set it apart? They buttered the toast before serving no fiddling trying get the lids of those microtubs of butter. Would recommend for this alone.
Fantastic, healthy and unique food. It is best cafe!!! Strongly recommend~^^
