Amazing staff, good food, good value for money in the local area.
Finished a task early in the morning around the area so dropped in for a quick brekkie. Maybe it was too early at 7:30am, there were not many tables occupied.
I ordered a flat white to go with its homemade banana bread with butter. Remember it was not very impressive on my last two reviews but it was very good this morning. Both food and beverage were prepared in good standard. Coffee was strong, bold with good aroma. Homemade banana bread was soft in texture and sweet in taste.

Service was great with friendly staff and the coffee strong in the aroma. Many selections for breakfast from the menu and the fridge near the counter. We order the Spanish omelette, quiche from the fridge, eggs and toast, caffe latte, long black and daily fruit n veg juice. All the dish are well cooked and extra plates offered without asking. The cafe is open in space, clean, very child-friendly and easy access to free parking.
Good food, friendly staff and dog friendly
Great coffee, food was very good and well priced, especially for this area. We all had icecreams for dessert that were special. Dark chocolate waffle cones and dripping in dark chocolate ganache. They even decorated the kids cones with stars and M&M's. They were all so nice there.
Fantastic lunch. The food was awesome and fast. Had a spicy chicken salad meal and a big fresh juice (recovery juice). Very friendly and much cheaper than any of the other places I've tried anywhere around here.
Had the best bacon benedict I've had for years. Coffee was perfect too, both of them. My partner had the big breakfast which he loved, but I had to help him finish it :).
The staff were lovely too. The price was great, especially for the quality of food and the service we got.
Today while I was waiting for my acai bowl, my partner went to the store in front of it looking for a vegan snack.
When I got my bowl she was happily holding a bag with a vegan cheesecake inside.
The cheesecake was one slice of lemon cheesecake and one slice of blueberry cheesecake, both vegan and gluten free.
They were both okay, the blueberry cheesecake was a bit too sweet but the lemon one had a nice zestiness to it and I enjoyed it the most. The texture was quite different from what you would expect of a cheesecake, it was more like a caramel slice texture but still quite pleasant. Overall they were cheap and had nice flavour to it, would rate them between 3.5 and 4.
Overall, I didn't try the coffee or much of their food, but their cakes and snacks look interesting enough for a second visit.
Probably the best Spoon I've been to. The barista people were really lovely and service was prompt considering how many people were in the Cafe. Great spot and nice spacious set up. Some of the hot breakfasts were ridiculously overpriced but my bircher was well priced and tasty. Coffee was great
We enjoyed a very pleasant lunch at Spoon. Staff were friendly and helpful with my dietary requirements, food was good (with the crunchiest beer battered chips I've ever had), good coffee, and comfy seating next to the giant windows. We'll definitely be back.
The Spoon's hot chocolate - thoroughly chocolatey, with well made, steamed and frothy full cream milk, is just the job in these cooler winter months.
You have three size options - 8, 12 and 16oz - and there's a white hot chocolate option also.
Better still, you can add a marshmallow for an extra 30 cents, which really adds something grand while rekindling a childhood memory. Simplistic brilliance that could rise to yet another level with some added cream, if that sort of thing does it for ya. Get one...
The pumpkin and amaretto risotto was really delicious. In the side, we ordered beer battered chips and that was also tasty. The paper menu was really confusing to understand in the first shot. Would recommend something digital for the menu.
Had a lovely b'fast here with the family on the weekend.
The staff seemed very pleasant and everyone in our party had a great time.
I had the field mushrooms which I enjoyed very much. My husband and his family mostly had B&E's or Egg's bene's which they all enjoyed.
The coffee was very good, and one of better ones I've received up here in Brisbane.
Will surely come back here with our whole group next time in town again.
Stopped in for a quick coffee. Menu is pretty pricey. These piccolos were $4 each. Coffee wasn't actually too bad. Service was relatively fast but felt like one of the masses didn't feel very welcome.
Was surprised to get a decent coffee here as I have had previous failures with the other Spoon chains in the area. Coffee came out hot & strong with a good crema. Also had a great muffin which tasted deliciously home made, soft, moist & fluffy. Impressed with the other sweet treats on offer too. You can get a cake & coffee deal for $10 & that includes all cakes on display. Cool deal!
Since changing owner a great cafe. Highly recommend!. Since the cafe changed owner last year it is now an excellent cafe. The staff are very friendly and the owners lovely. Great service, I recieved my food quickly. The food was very nice and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
At last!!. I'm glad that Spoons is under new management because a lot of people I know and myself had stopped going. Under the previous owners the service was terrible and the food average; which is such a shame because the location is lovely.
Let's see how the new management get on and hope they do well. We will go down for breakfast sometime and see. Hopefully than we will start making it a regular Sunday haunt as before.
Excellent lunch. The coffees always great so often end up here for lunch during the week. Chilli chicken sanga with avocado & roasted tomato that was to die for and they toasted the bun for me too. Yum.
Staff were really friendly and it was pretty quick even though they were busy.
Nice meal. Relaxed. Good coffee.. Great eggs Benedict . Eggs cooked perfectly. Great coffee. Very relaxed comfortable atmosphere.
Market Fresh. Good location and interesting style. Coffee was only ok. Food was nice and homemade. I had a single vegetarian risotto ball @ $9. Think they may be needing a revamp if they hope to keep their status as a leader in the Brisbane Deli Cafe scene.
Suprisingly good.. Despite all the negative reviews, I've only ever had good experiences with Spoon. Don't expect super quick service if it's 1pm and everyone's out for lunch! The coffee is on the better side of average but that's acceptable. The salads are fresh and yummy and I've found the service to be friendly and accomodating. If you just want something to eat and a quick coffee, it's great.
I went for breakfast this morning and I couldn't be happier to see somewhere like spoon open today. The lady at the till was very helpful with my order and the food and coffee came promptly. The staff were very friendly and I will certainly be back!
Orgasmic eggs benedict. A Sunday morning delight with great coffee. I have to recommend to my friends the eggs benedict from soon deli cafe. spinach and florentine mushrooms cooked just so... With waitress ground pepper (too fine) just a lovely taste to start my Sunday thank you spoon deli... You got one absolutely right
Delicious from the first bite. My lunchtime encounter with spoon deli was a surprising delight. From the first mouthful my woodland mushroom risotto was stunning. As risotto is my favourite meal it is quite difficult to please me. This risotto is the perfect moisture content with full tastes of peas mushrooms and that truffle oil. The asparagus and tomato adds the visual and textural delight to the meal. I couldn't be happier $23 spent for the best experience of my day
Enjoyed It. It was a Tuesday lunch, with my friend Sally. I went for the Barramundi, perfectly cooked fish on this hot day... served with cous cous. I have a love of cous cous and this meal didn’t let me down. Sally went for the calamari. She enjoyed it – not tough, but tender; not salty, just right.
Someone recommended Spoon Deli and I finally made it there - fantastic , friendly and most of all prompt service. Great coffee, good food served in modern deli shop cafe. Lots to look at after lunch. Sally bought some T2 gift packs.
Their juices are awesome, especially Immune Booster....
The spaces in the Cafe is wide open and the staff is very helpful.
Loved the burger too.
Very good service and great food and very reasonable prices considering its location. The staff were accommodating and friendly. When I asked them to remake my coffee as it had way too much syrup in it, the request was received graciously, followed by an apology and then a replacement cup as soon as possible. Great seating with huge windows that let you warm up on those cold mornings. The selection of tarts, quiches, and other pre made meals is varied, tasty and well priced. A place to visit for sure.
BIG OPEN SPACE! Fits well with the James Street vibe. Acceptable price and taste, however it did take awhile for the food to come out.
Good little breakfast spot! Service and food really hit the spot! Nice one! 🙂
