I didn't know this store existed, as I often went to the Ascot dine-in as that used to be 24 hours. When they changed they recommended I come to Portside (Hamilton) and I was first impressed by the modern (new) setting as other Cafe 63 branches had a more homely feel to it. The food is as consistently as other ones and I even got a drink served in a tall ceramic mug, which is unusual considering Cafe 63 is generally reliant on disposable plastic packaging (unfortunately, even when dining in). Most dishes are re-representations of the same ingredients but are always tasty yet uncomplicated. Great for macros and healthy eating! Always excited to go to Cafe 63.
Love this 24/7 Cafe at Hamilton! I visit for a late coffee last night. Service is always fast as there are few patrons. My Cafe Latte is hot and flavoursome, a very good coffee. Thanks Guys!
As a fan of Café 63, I feel shame not been back to this one located at the Racecourse Road since 2015.
Had a gathering with friend for an early brekkie @ 6:30am this morning. I still love to order the “Super Brat” based on two reasons. It seems very health to have only egg white for omelette and I can order half serving and add extra-fresh avocado on the dish. Beverage & food came to the table very quick. I always have no problem with the flat white that they serve. Needless to say, the egg white omelette is up to my expectation. One thing I noticed this time that this Café 63 stops serving free bottle of water which is good for the environmental protection thumb-up!

This is the first cafe that widens my scope of horizon on the breakfast culture in Australia. I can guarantee that you would attract by the vibe of crowed peoples happily enjoying their breakfast there. It was the morning prior to my first cruise to Pacific Islands that I dropped in to have breakfast there. I was so exciting to see a menu with so many dishes to choose from; particularly the Egg White Omelettes that reflect how the management looks after the needs of elderly like me, ha ha.
Came here for breakfast this morning. Great service. Great food and coffee. Staff very helpful and attentive providing fast service. So came back for lunch and still the same friendly staff and same good quality food
Staff are always friendly and service is always quick, my go to breakfast in the home territory
I thoroughly recommend the Paddy-O OMG that will do me 👍👍👍

Wasn't expecting much as it is a chain cafe but quite impressed. Gluten and dairy free barramundi was perfect and the times I have been here and West End the serves are huge. Great find. Not big on giving ppl plastic bottled water but some ppl would like the bonus.
Ordered rump steak with chips, Vegas and mushroom sauce. Steak cooked perfect. Could not fault it. Also got the fruit salad. Great variety of fruit and freshly prepared (no soggyness).
Consistently good. Selection and prices are great. I love that it’s open 24 hours, I don’t know of any other cafe that is. Service is always good and quick. The salmon skin is always crispy, is seasoned well and comes with chips and prawns - wasn’t a fan of the prawns they too were a little over cooked and tough. Great pumpkin soup. Fish burger was great, vego burger just okay. Not a fan of the carbonara, bland. Desserts are good and very cheap (LOVE the cheesecake). A good option is you’re after a quick, no-frills type meal. Great juices and they’re also licensed.
To be quite honest I only ever eat here after midnight. Im so glad there is a 24hr store that serves delicious meals at anytime of day with such efficiency. I tend to order burgers and such and it's always great, the coffee is always good as well.
Reliable, consistently good, good varied menu, good value and friendly fast service. Always a good choice. I had a double waffle and my friend had a full breakfast and no complaints. Coffee was ok.
Cafe 63 is about simple food , great service and a few little extas that make you keep comin back, mainly for breakfast. There isnt anything fancy about the food, looks or taste , its what the average person would make at home but its quick and well priced. You also get a free bottle of water everytime you go amd a biscuit with every coffee, which is pretty decent. The extra spreads in the table are also free. The cafe itself looks like it needs a makeover but you dont mind because of all the other things that makes this place great.
The food I have had here is great and the service is excellent. The water and their retro botttle are complementory and I have so many lying around at home. My only faults with this place is when it's busy wait time can be up to 40 minutes and that I find the indoor dining area not my cup of tea in terms of style. However, this is a small detail as I love the outdoor seating area.
Found myself here at 4:30 in the morning and was pleasantly surprised by the lovely service. The menu is very broad and there is very good prices. I liked the winter menu options and there is a few things I wanted to try out. The coffee was pretty good and so was the food.
Definitely a good alternative to pancake manor!
I really enjoyed the potato rosti and how they have all condiments on the table. A very well thought out restaurant. Great choice for an early morning meal with lots of parking available in the morning.
Only complaint was the 1/2 Avo advertised on the menu (extras) came out as 1/4 of an avo that was well browned and hard. A bit disappointed with that seeing as I watched their fruit and veg order roll in before I ordered breakfast.
Overall. 5 star for value for money.

We were passing by eating gelato from Milani, when Mini Meatball decided she was desperately thirsty. I ordered a bottle of water from their footpath counter, but when I offered them money they said it was complimentary. I knew they were complimentary with meals, but she advised that they are always complimentary.
We kept walking and eating our gelato, but couldn't resist stopping back into Cafe 63 to pick up a few bunches of Irises ($5) and a triple shot coffee for Lady Meatball. $3 yoghurt and fruit 'shooters' are a great deal!
Wonderful service, free papers, inexpensive flowers and good coffee. I'll be back.
Free bottled water, air conditioning, huge menu and prompt service. I've been here 2x now and have had excellent food and service!!. Also are open 24/7, which is rare in Australia, especially Brisbane. Will definitely be back
Excellent 24 hour restaurant with a HUGE and tasty breakfast menu. Highly recommend if you are hungry.
I will definitely return, especially for breakfast.

VALUE FOR MONEY - Good food, adequate coffee, and honestly you will be shocked when you get the bill at the end of your meal - it is very inexpensive.
Great food and efficient staff. Open 24 hours! Have come here for father's day and it was a great :) Recommend to anyone who wants to see a big Cafe in Hamilton :)
Excellent as always!!! Toast was a little cold but can't really complain!! Kick off juice was yum. Elle McPherson for me and comptons peak for my partner!! Will be back!!
Massive meals, and very good value. Lots and lots of hollandaise on the meals that have them. Lots and lots of everything! Great coffee. The food is tasty, and the portions are huge. Everyone at my table enjoyed their meal, as did I. Not super amazing, but very enjoyable and flavoursome. I would go back.
Epic portions, solid kitchen, great taste. The whole premise of Racecourse 63 is value for money and a good mix of hearty food and healthy food. I highly recommend the fish and chips my only regret, it doesn't come with mushy peas. The iced coffees are also amazing. Head on in!
If you're looking for a place for a good plate of bacon n eggs and etc, or even a decent breakfast for around $10.. This is the one! Great laid back atmosphere, no crazy overpriced breakfasts.
Fantastic taste, variety and interesting menu items not seen before. Half serves options are good. Efficient, friendly, a little inattentive at times but not pushy either. Free wifi, nice coffee, I'll come back often to try all the menu!
Yummmmmm! Lovely breakfast. Great little place for all walks of life. Recently had a work function there and it was fast on service. Thumbs up!!!
My partner and I come here a few times a month. One of our favourite places. Food is very well priced and comes out extremely quickly. The staff are so kind and helpful.
Eaten here a few times and whilst not the greatest meals certainly not the worst. Staff are always freindly and never waited to long for the food.
Breakfast is ok and dinner menu is extensive. To date if have enjoyed the melas we have eaten here.
The decor is diffrent but I like it and my wife enjoyed that I bought here flowers afer taking her to breakfast.
The breakfast here is simple but plentiful and delicious. This is a great place to go for brunch - staff are super friendly and there's lots of options on their menu to please everyone. Atmosphere is fun and relaxing and prices are pretty good.
Staff here at 63 are great, a bunch of us from work will go there almost everyday for a coffee and breakfast wrap. Free bottle of water with any purchase.
My porridge was good. My husband's omelette was average. The little supplies on the table are cute. Service was good.
The downside is that there are hardly any vegetarian options. No vegan at all. The owner parks a hatchback with synthetic grass all over it that says go green. For someone promoting environment you wouldn't expect a lack of vegetarian options or bottle water for each table!
The food was delicious, atmosphere is casual and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We went for lunch but will try out the breakfast soon, since the other reviews are so positive. Plenty to choose from and the prices are good. This has been my favourite from all the Racecourse Road eateries and cafes for a meal... we will return.
I'm glad I stumbled across Racecourse 63. It's a great cafe with fun and friendly vibe, plenty of menu choices so that regulars won't get bored and best of all, delicious food. The staff we encountered were very pleasant and despite how busy the cafe was, we got our food and smoothies quickly. You can even pick up a bunch of fresh flowers after your meal!
Have been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner and loved it everytime.
Prices are reasonable and quantities generous.
Definitely recommend.
This is my go-to place for breakfast. Reading some of the other reviews here I'm surprised by some of the negative ones because i have never had a bad experience but I have never tried anything but their breakfast menu. Also I have never had any trouble with service, it's always pleasant and delivered with a smile! Great coffee and I highly recommend the omelettes!!
Great prices and service for equally great food. This place was awesome! I couldn't believe how cheap everything was, especially for such a nice looking brunch place like this one. I was skeptical about the quality and quantity of the food because of the prices but the food was anything but disappointing! I ordered the Ottoman($10), a grilled chicken and haloumi Turkish toastie with yogurt sauce, while my partner ordered 'The Emirates' (from memory- $13?? mushrooms in gravy +sausages +2 poached eggs +2 pieces of toast). We both loved our dishes and were left incredibly full.The Turkish bread was toasted just right, the 2 generously sized pieces of haloumi were perfectly grilled whilst the yogurt dip served as a nice side accompaniment to the dish.
Keeps me coming back. If you want a simple brekky for a moderate price this is the place to go. I always get the Compton dish with poutine and it fills me up. Service is nice, although parking can be a little difficult
Menu had excellent variety, service was friendly and food was ready extremely fast. Will definitely be returning!
A brilliant surprise. We ambled along Racecourse Rd the other Thursday night, looking for food. The road has more than enough uninspiring Italian places doing the usual stuff (possibly well, but it is still the usual stuff), and trendy excy places.
63's menu looked DIFFERENT and the place unpretentiously quirky. We dropped in and loved it all. My lamb salad was superb, tasty lamb without overdone spicing with beut fresh salad stuff, decent fetta and the nice touch of toasted nuts on the yogurt. My wife's sticky pork spare ribs were sublimely tasty, the potato fritter great. Our dessert of pancakes with berry sauce and berry icecream was a roaring success. The pancakes appeared pre-made but they were there just to pile the other stuff on. Both the sauce and the frozen yogurt icecream were sweetened just as much (little!) as I like it. Once again, roasted nuts provided lovey addition to the flavour.
Service was just fine, food was brought out very fast, the dishes an interesting international twist on the underlying apparently Canadian theme, with low prices to top off the list of pleasant surprises.
One hiccup, the rest excellent. We were at this place for brunch with the same bunch of people last Sunday after 2 years gap. Wow! What an improvement. Definitely it has grown mainly in taste of their food & menu. There is something for everyone; from health conscious to not so healthy. Our meals was so good that nothing was left on the plate. On the other hand we were unlucky with our service. I see some diners about the negative views on service at this place; life is like a box of chocolate you don't know what you gonna get. And We got a "mole"! She was the one with glasses with shoulder length hair dyed to blond! Her attitude's she'd rather be next to Naomi Campbell. She's the only worker there who'd let her down (her hair was not in ponytail as the rest) unprofessionally, having an idea of that she's the most beautiful & glamorous woman working there. Her attitude was she's walking on a catwalk stand, she's created everything, Naomi Campbell is her best friend. Her attitude was so rude and arrogant toward us and even got worse after her stuff up. Altogether our second experience was memorable with delicious food & a mole. We will return but another waitress for us, please!
Love it. I go here every weekend for a catch up breakfast with my group of friends and have been doing so for over a year. The staff are brilliant, service is quick and the owner/manager genuine and kind. I recommend to all my friends. P.S. We order sides or slight variations to our meals all the time and have never had them stuffed up.
Excellent x 2. My partner and I were recommended by our Motel to go here. We were told the menu was innovative and imaginative BUT best of all the coffee was delicious. Qantas Special and Pancakes Canadian Style EXCELLENT just reading the menu you could tell the Chef and staff put a lot into their fare. Who ever would have thought to have frozen lemon yogurt with pancakes crispy bacon and maple syrup DELICIOUS. Mushrooms in a creamy sauce, potato rostie bacon, tomato and chunky wholemeal toast again EXCELLENT. Coffee was hot, and stayed that way till the last mouthful of food. Sadly we didn't return for lunch because we were still full and had dinner elsewhere booked, HOWEVER, will be back next time were in Brisbane. Thank you to the Tableservice Staff, Chef and Kitchen Staff a job well done. :)
We're regulars!. Have had breakfast, lunch and dinner here (not all on the same day!) and we've never been disappointed. The fare is not 5 star but it's fresh and comforting and tasty every time. Breakfast is our favourite with the extensive menu but the lunch and dinner options are quite good too and there are a few dishes that give you real bang for your buck. It's simple fare so don't expect things to be too gourmet, but it's a good, honest and tasty feed that won't cost the earth. The service is very good and the staff are very attentive. Will keep returning!
Great meal!. Went here for lunch as a last minute thing. Absolutely loved it we had waffles that were great and reasonably priced, the wraps also good. They did great kids meals as well, definitely returning and will try the breaky items next.
Loving it.. I am having my breakfast there at least once a week. I love the creamy mushroom and the Cathy Freeman. Never been disappointed. I also get my TA coffee from there, always perfect.
Satisfied. We had brekkie here + really liked it - it was very busy but the staff are so hardworking + do it all with a smile - the food came out quickly + was yummy - def will be returning nxt wend
A+ GREAT. I orederd pork, it was amazing
Also a caramel milkshake.. it was just milk and flavouring not the best. :/
My meal made up for it. very nice
Diana. I really was expecting bad things after reading some of the reviews here, but was talked into trying it by a family friend who is a regular & all in all we were pleasantly suprised. We were there for brekky with the pooch who was made very welcome, as were we. There was a complimentary apple on every table along with bottled water (nice touch) Also a condiments box chock full of sauces & jams etc. First of all we thought the coffee was good, nice strength & a good pour. I will admit the menu is rather long & the food is pretty basic fare. Stuff like onion rings & tinned baked beans etc. However basic fare can sometimes be OK for brekky especially if its fresh. I managed to design myself a vegie brekky with haloumi, avocado & salad (even came with a touch of fresh chilli) The partner got himself a sausage brekky which came with the onion rings a large kranksky type sausage (which the dog loved) plus two other sausages. He said the tinned baked beans ruined the dish, he was hoping for house beans, but he said the bubble & sqeak was great (he loves to cook this himself incidently!!) All in all a pleasant experience & we will be back as the in laws just live around the corner, oh & another point its not overpriced!!
Love, love, love this place. I grab my coffee here every morning on my way to work and have NEVER had a bad coffee. I'm a fussy person when it comes to coffee and this place is spot on. The breakfast menu is amazing and the options are extensive. The service is great and the staff are lovely. Meals can be a bit slower coming out on weekends but the place is always packed so that's not surprising.
Fast, friendly and attentive service. Extensive menu offering the basics as well as the more complicated breakfast meals. Good coffee with good food. Definately worth a look for that lazy Sunday breakfast/brunch
The service was poor but the food made up for it :). I wouldn't completely write it off.
A regular default breakfast place for us. Service is usually speedy and staff I have found to be helpful and friendly on most occasions. Really fuss free place with an extensive menu and huge helpings. Value for money no brainer.
Brekkie - YUM. As a first timer to 63... Went for brekkie with my chum! Huge choice of brekkie delights, waiting staff very attentive and no one rushing us to get out... It was busy... We got nestled at a big farm style table under the gas heater! Bonus! Food was really tasty! Coffee hit the spot! LOVED IT! Already looking forward to the next trip and choosing another brekkie treat!
I have eaten here every weekend for the last year. Nothing overdone or fancied up, they just do excellent, hearty, tasty breakfasts and you know it will be satisfying every time. The Jackie Chan juice is an epic win! 10 out of 10 :)
Don't believe the reviews this is the beat breakfast in Brisbane!! I come here every weekend and have never been disappointed. Pancakes are the best but you can't go past the cheesy omelette. I give this place a 10 out of 10 for breakfast on a lazy Saturday
Great find. Found this place online to go somewhere with girlfriends for brunch. As their breakfast menu goes all day it was a great option! I am always aprehensive of having eggs benedict at any place but saw someone else getting it and decided to go for it...it was yummy! and cooked properly!!
there's lots of bread options and they'll make what you want...also love that it's the same price for any variation of the benedict so with spinach, hash browns, bacon etc just pick one and it was all the same!
Took my Dad back there the same week for his birthday! another successful meal!
A love-hate relationship !!!. UP and DOWN coffee to be honest. One day it's deliciously creamy the next it's burnt. There's just one good barista, but when she's off and any of the others "wait staff barista" assuming the position, be aware: burnt and frothy coffee is coming.
Menus are extensive and full of delicious options. The meals come with quite large servings but unfortunately missing quality and presentation . Great service and lovely flowers for sale out the front which adds a nice touch.
We have been to Cafe 63 here many times when it was originally located further up the road. First time at this new location though. Very extensive menu so be prepared for a lengthy peruse. Coffee came out after the food which we personally would not prefer. Food is basic fresh & tasty. Service was a bit slow to start
I enjoyed my toasted sandwich, good flavour. Absolutely adored sitting out under the big leafy tree and your staff were very pleasant and helpful.
We went for breakfast before heading for a few official meetings as I was travelling for work. The cafe was a bit busy but it took hardly anytime before someone attended us. Coffee came withing five minutes and then our breakfast came in less than 10. Being that busy we thought that's pretty quick. And food was delicious too. Overall, it was a really nice experience.
Great place for groups with lots of seating, handy location. Large menu for all the family.
Cafe 63 has offerings at more of a budget price. Quality is not compromised, and this particular Cafe 63 knows how to present their meals in a more attractive manner than others.
With the large trees sheltering the entrance it also provides a wonderful ambience.
