Lovely cafe near some interesting shops in Ipswich. We all had a version on the eggs benedict, which was done well, but a bit pricey. Coffee was stong & a bit bitter but a small amount of sugar sorted that out. I didn't like the black walls, decor felt a little dated. Service was good, our waiter must have been new but still did a good job. I'd definitely go back & recommend, especially to try some of those delicious cakes i spied.
This is a fantastic breakfast/lunch spot with a very delicious menu. I would say that this is the best place for a daytime meal in Ipswich CBD, the atmosphere is very relaxed but sophisticated and there's a terrific selection of things to have. The portions are very satisfying - I recommend the Stockman's burger and the Big Breakfast if you're very hungry, or one of the pies! For a lighter meal the eggs benedict is always perfect, or one of the very flavorsome healthy salads if you're after something that is light but satisfying. And of course the rosti, which never disappoints. If you have a sweet tooth I can't recommend their cake selection enough - especially the key lime pie and the cherry ripe cheese cake!
Great atmosphere at this restaurant. Loved the furnishings. The service was friendly. A great place to sit back and relax. We had the potato Rosti with bacon and poached egg with pesto hollandaise and the French toast with grilled peaches and creme brûlée. Both were delicious. It was good to try something different instead of a standard menu item. Found no faults at all with this place. Enjoyed the generous serving size
FourthChild is an inviting cafe in a beautifully restored heritage building. There are outdoor tables under umbrellas, and a large indoor area with a raw and moody feel.
The menu boasts many great options. We both chose the rosti stack for our Sunday breakfast. Served with bacon, poached eggs (mine were swapped for haloumi), avocado and a pesto hollandaise sauce, the meal was large and filling. The rosti themselves were probably a little over cooked- while I loved the crunchy texture, there was no soft potato centre which would have been nice. While quite a heavy breakfast, it was well seasoned and enjoyable. I also enjoyed by chai tea latte.
The service was friendly and prompt.
Top points for their amazingly humungo caramel slice which I ordered to take away with intentions to share however those intentions did not go to planned....the slice did not last long.
The beautiful ladies at Fourthchild kindly even decorated my takeway gigantic slice with strawberries, fresh creamed (which was legit self-whipped cream by the way, none of this spray cream sh!te) and floral carnations. Sometimes the smallest things can make the greatest difference.
Current status.....Caramel slice-coma
Having heard a lot about this place and with an hour to spare I decided to finally try FourthChild for brunch. The Mexican beans were a hearty option and more than I could manage on this cold morning. The coffee was served promptly but a little bit more bitter than my liking.
Yummmm, Yum and more Yum.. yes please!! We Loved our Eggs Benedict breakfast here, beautiful creamy rich hollandaise sauce, eggs were poached beautifully, and the spinach was divine, seasoned perfectly with the right amount of salt. FourthChild never lets you down, I highly recommend going here for any meal, exceptional quality, great customer service and food that will rock your World!!!
Always delicious food. A little on the slow sidd of service but worth it. The fresh iced teas always go down easy and super refreshing! Must try!

Saturday brunch date in Ipswich with the girls. With only one of our group local to the area, we relied on the recommendation of my work colleague and fellow foodie, MB. I'm very glad he talked me into Fourthchild - What a winner!
First up, I loved the decor and atmosphere. Really gorgeous moody tones with lots of wood textures and exposed brick. Plenty of natural lighting and vases of "just picked" style flowers on the tables helped to brighten and create a calming, welcoming vibe.
Secondly, the service was fantastic from start to finish. I noted that all of the service at Fourthchild was quick, polite, and not intrusive. It had been some time between catch ups so we took quite a while to decide on our food, but our waitress was very friendly and patient with both us and our teething 5-month-old companion. There was a mistake with my friend's coffee order, however this was minor and we appreciated our waitress' offer to make a new one.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the beans here are Campo's. After a late night and an early start, I needed a decent caffeine hit. My vanilla flat white absolutely hit the spot. Perfect strength, great sweetness from the vanilla, and perfect drinking temperature.
Deciding what to eat was difficult as there are so many great choices at Fourthchild, but I couldn't go past the Creme Brûlée French Toast - creme anglaise, berries, ricotta, maple syrup, berry coulis, and sugar bark. Beautifully presented, this dish was almost too pretty to eat! And it was super delicious!
The toast was cooked perfectly and I loved the berry coulis. I was really happy with the amount of maple syrup here, as I'm not normally a big fan. The ricotta was a lovely addition to the plate too. I found the creme anglaise to be a little bit grainy in texture, but still tasted good. The overall balance of this breakfast was perfect, with all of the elements working together to create a dish that wasn't overpoweringly sweet.
All in all, we had a really relaxed and enjoyable experience at Fourthchild. We're already talking about coming back for dinner very soon!
First time here for Breakfast. Great atmosphere with acoustic music. Beautifully decorated lots of raw authentuc te tures of the building. Meals were highly delicious. Fast to come out. Great tasting coffee. Would definitely recommend this place!
We were looking for something close with yummy food and value for money. This place delivered. Food was great! The variety of seating arrangements is awesome. Outside on the footpath, out back on the verandah, inside near the fireplace or in a smaller room. The place is immaculately clean and well looked after. Amenities are located at the back and also immaculate. One of our waitresses was a hoot! Prompt, polite and with a great sense of humour. I think she's Korean, she's good value! They do an all day breakfast and the desserts look incredible. We were too full to indulge tho. Not to worry tho, we're going back!
Cycled the BVRT and needed to refuel in Ipswich. I ordered two large slices of delicious lasagna and a burnt caramel slice. Excellent service from Ross and the team. Would highly recommend!
Once again we had a great meal in the Ipswich Region. Fourth Child has great food and we saw some of the other menu items that other patrons ordered and was impressed with what we saw. There seems to be a few regular patrons who know the menu of by heart.
I had the BLAT and my wife had the seafood chowder in a cob-loaf. Both were great. My wife asked for some butter for the rest of the loaf and it was no problem and the staff were friendly.
Great little brunch spot in the cool Brisbane Street side of Ipswich. Good coffee and brunch menu that's actually tasty. Coming from Sydney, we'd be happy to come here for the occasional brunch. Definitely proof that Ipswich is gentrifying in a good way. Friendly staff and food came out in a timely manner. Outdoor and indoor seating and groups welcome.
Great place to have breakfast/lunch, massive portion sizes and plenty of options for specific dietary requirements. That being said, a friend of mine did order the breakfast burger without bacon as they are a vegetarian and their food arrived with bacon, not a super big deal but just something to be mindful of for intolerances and allergies to double check with waitstaff.
All in all a lovely place with plenty to choose from 😊
It has been more than a year since I have ventured into the Ipswich town centre and visited Fourthchild Cafe. An early appointment saw me back there for breakfast and what a treat it was. They do the best lambs fry and bacon I have ever tasted. It's a five star winner. It's all backed by great serice and a smile.
