Reviews Espresso Train Cafe & Catering

Explored this cafe in the morning. It located with advantage of very good explosure being just opposite to the entrance of Nundah Train station. Trading in an old fashion style cafe, they did not provide fancy presentation on the food and beverages except friendly smiles and generous portions on meal size. My flat white was made of Aroma brew with strong enough caffeine to boost up my energy for the day. Banana bread was average but not bad. Overall, it is a handy place to have a cup of coffee before heading to work in the morning.

Outstanding. Simple, delicious food in large sizes - breakfast in particular was quite something - with friendly staff and a great local vibe. I'm a fan of their work

My friend and I enjoyed the best club sandwich we've had in a very long time. We both commented on how delicious the thick cut bacon was! Service was excellent- friendly and fast. Price was spot on too!!

The concept of Espresso Train is fantastic, and is a project of the Nundah Community Enterprises Co-op (who recently won best Australian Social Enterprise Award this year) . They 'make coffee to employ people' rather than employing people to make coffee. Located right outside Nundah Train Station. Food is decent too, with the kindest staff.

Highly recommend - v good coffee...long black was strong but mellow...excellent priced and tasty eggs on toast. Friendly staff, comfortable bespoke seating areas with the atmospheric sounds of the train station across the way! My new favourite Nundah place!

Generous and tasty food. Love that you can go as simple as you like or go a little more extravagant if the mood takes. Great relaxed atmosphere and really my favourite place in Nundah. Worth heading that little bit down the road away from the main strip for this place.

Yummy food, great burgers, fantastic coffee, all of which is delivered with a smile. Nothing seems too much trouble. It's not fancy but it is good.
And to top it off? My hard earned $$$'s are going towards a fantastic cause! Keep up the great work!

Best brunch.. Well priced and a great vibe. The service was nothing short of amazing either!

Great Community Feel! Great Community Involvement!. I had noticed Espresso Train when I had been in Nundah one evening and although it was closed, the signage alluded to the fact that they helped those with disabilities in the community by providing work. Being quite interested in this, I came back to find out more and of course, have a coffee!! I'm so glad I did!

I entered Espresso Train and saw that they had both indoor and outdoor tables. The tables outside were behind lattice which still let in a nice breeze but provided some privacy as the Nundah train station was right across the street.

Inside at the counter, I ordered a large latte ($4, small $3.50) from a very friendly and enthusiastic man behind the counter. (It's cash under $10) He said it was no problem for him to bring my coffee out to me which I always appreciate!

While my coffee was being made, I noticed that the gentleman knew and called pretty much all of the patrons by first name. It certainly gave this café a 'small town' feel, which I find comfortable in that no one is trying to rush you out of there.

Although I hadn't seen the menu items I could hear some of the orders: Sandwiches, toast, pizza, etc. (I never found out the prices)

My latte came out in a to-go cup, with lid. I would have preferred an environmentally friendly mug, but the lid did keep my drink warm for the entirety of my stay. The latte itself had a nice strong, boldness to it which was not diluted away by the milk. It was better than a lot of lattes I've had in the past!

When I finished my coffee, I went inside to ask about how Espresso Train works and what it's all about. The man behind the counter was Joe, the manager, and he gave me a booklet of information on this organization. We did have an involved conversation and I walked away with this impression:

Nundah Community Enterprise Co-operative (NCEC) employs clients of Community Living Association (CLA) with mental disabilities who otherwise would not have been employed due to lack of empathy and understanding in the average workplace, which no doubt would have led to more homelessness of this population in society.

I like places like this and Brisbane could certainly use more establishments like this one! When a restaurant provides sustainability within their community and can help those in need, why wouldn't you eat at a place like this?!

I am so impressed with Espresso Train, not only by their lattes, but by what they do! I would recommend this spot to anyone who lives or is visiting Nundah and I will definitely make this a destination place for myself!!

Lovely cafe. Staff were super friendly. Vibrant and fresh food with great portion size for reasonable prices. Coffee was great. Cute little location right by the train station.

Great ethics and lovely setup, but most of all the food is fantastic! For the price, the portion sizes are very impressive and the presentation is amazing. Good variety on the menu as well, with classics like croissants and avo toast and some Asian/South American inspired dishes.

Great coffee. Friendly staff. I bought the most incredible hamper from them for Mother'sDay. Delicious food and chilled vibe.

Great lil spot to have a bite with friendly staff. Eggs Benny was delicious. Definitely recommended!
