All staff were so friendly. Cakes looked presentable and tasted even better. Chef was so efficient. Coffee was excellent. Marketplace is such a fun and quirky place. Will return in the near future. 10/10

📣WOW - NEW CAFE MARKETPLACE ALERT!📣
We visited this funky cafe which is actually apart of a mini market..YES we said MARKET😆 - where local small businesses have displays up from clothing, shoes, jewellery, paper prints, funiture, homewares, art... You know we love supporting our local businesses 👌🏽 theres even a GREENHOUSE aka plant section🌱‼️ PLANT LOVERS FORM A LINE🌿🍃
OK...(TRUTH BOMB) so we never actually knew this cafe exsited until Kiki's sister pointed it out🤫As Its not the most noticable from the road nor located in the most accessible spot being on Sandgate Road, Virginia. But its definately worth the VISIT as theres so much to see‼️
Prepare your wallets as you’ll definately want to buy nearly everything you see in the market🤪
This has got to be a new fav as there is just to do here and its so different to your usual cafe.. not to mention they do ALL DAY BREAKY (We love that)🙌🏽 Theres a nice outdoor area with a playground for the kids..✔️
The cafe is so quirky with the wall art made from old books and the old school furniture around.. Also very friendly staff & we even found VEGAN fudge for sale in the marketplace (WHAAAAT😱)

A terrific spot with excellent coffee, delicious baked treats including good gluten free options. There is plenty of space and a wonderful kids space making it a great spot for parents with young ones. Once you've finished in the cafe, the Vend market space is great for a wander around for small and local designers (perhaps not quite as kid friendly though!) Amazing spot, we need more places like it around Brisbane.
The cafe here at the marketplace is a real find. It's very spacious, you can sit at tables, or on comfy couches, and there is also a large covered outdoor area. A great place to meet up with friends where you can feel comfortable for an extended stay. There's a good range of menu options and the meals are generous. The coffee is smooth and served nice and hot and there are quite a few very tempting cake options. The market stalls are good quality, with a lot of hand crafted items, artworks, clothes, plants and more. There aren't any stallholders, you pay up the front on your way out for anything you want to buy from the stalls. The cafe and stalls are under the one roof and there's a relaxed vibe where you can escape.
Great cafe here with all day breakfast and also lunch with excellent coffee. The stalls are quirky and a bit eclectic which adds to the vibe. A lot of plants here and also a perfect place for random gifts as well. Great place to support local artists and vendors and fun to just wonder around.
What a great find! Stalls and stalls of high quality local vendors plus a lovely cafe well suited to families or mums and bubs. Had a lovely salad for lunch and great coffee.
I spent over an hour at Vend Marketplace and now I know where I will go in future when I need to buy gifts or if i want something special just for me. Beautiful handmade clothing for babies, children and adults, handmade jewellery and plenty of home decor pieces. Loved the range of handmade candles, bath and beauty products. They also have a big range of indoor plants and pots and so much more. There is also a great Cafe and plenty of parking. Highly recommend a visit and pleasantly surprised with the reasonable prices.
Coffee was really good and the Portuguese tarts were scrumptious. Dogs are welcome to walk around the stall section but not in the restaurant, however this is an outdoor eating area offered where your furry friend is allowed. The stalls offer a huge variety of different wares but it is a shame there isn't a huge offering for men. My partner loves the range of plants and pots available, as well as a huge selection of novelty earrings and other fashion accessories. Lots of small independent local vendors which is great to see.
I love the concept of this place. For those that haven't been its a collective of small businesses with little stalls in a larger commercial warehouse. There are a huge range of stalls from plants, to baby wear, vintage clothing, art or furniture. It's a great spot to check out if you are struggling to find a special present for someone.
They have a cafe and large outdoor area to enjoy as well and its a top place for a wander, a bit of a shop or just looking for inspiration.
We stopped for the monthly Vegan market. It's not huge but all the food we tried was of good quality, friendly vendors, and you can have a wonder around The Vend store when you're done. Although parking is a premium we didn't have to wait long, even though it was lunch time. There's outside table seating that accepts well behaved dogs too.
Fantastic shopping from local business - perfect spot for buying unique gifts, it’s dog friendly, has great coffee, and a licences cafe - great place to meet up with friends!
