The Gift Shop Food and Drink is a little cafe in the southside suburb of Wishart. Tucked away in a complex of shops along Newnham Road, it was a bit of an unexpected find. It has been around for a while (since 2018?), and the many patrons there on a weekday afternoon indicated that the locals certainly knew about it.
I was pleasantly surprised by the food! The menu items seemed too healthy for my liking, but boy was I wrong. The service was amazing as well! The employees there really seemed to enjoy their job and their happy vibes are definitely contagious 😊 I've been three times now and my favourite dish would have to be the 'Fun Guy' but the 'Golden Eggs' were great as well.
Been to The Gift Shop twice now and both times the food was delicious. They have interesting and unusual items on their menu, like the "Golden Eggs", which are poached eggs encrusted in pastry and deep fried, sitting on top of a potato gem waffle. Also tried their crispy avocado tacos, which consisted of avocado slices that had been crumbed and fried to perfection. The service is great as well - very warm and friendly. This is a place I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and I definitely plan on coming back in the future!
Have not been back over eight months so checked it out in the morning. Although there are impacts from COVID-19 everywhere, this cafe is still very busy. The only difference is the social distance that everyone keeping to avoid spreading of the virus.
Ordered a flat white and a almond croissant. Coffee is as good as usual. If it can heat up the croissant, marks on this review should be higher.

Arrived home this past Thursday after an 11 day cruise. First venture outside the house - down to The Gift Shop for a coffee.  Great to be back guys and REALLY did enjoy a decent coffee again that I even had a second. Thanks for the warm welcome home guys.
Quality is key at this simple yet humble cafe. If you want great coffee and simple but great quality cafe food than look no further. The Gift Shop Food & Drink is such a cute little cafe with a very small menu but don’t be discouraged by the small menu because looks like the key is to deliver perfection on every single menu item.
Amazing place! Jordan knows everyone by name here - everyone’s friendly, coffee is great and food is delicious. My toastie was the perfect breakfast and hubby’s granola was maybe the best I’ve ever had!
Its hard not to come here and have a good time, not only does the coffee pick you up but so do the staff! It's also a great place to get study done - has a cosy inside area too.Â
Fabulous

Great coffee and tasty treats. The deserts are divine! Terrific catering service for small get-togethers too. The next door shop 'Spoiled' has some fabulous and affordable gift ideas as well.
Not only do you get the best coffee in Brisbane at The Gift Shop, but we now get spoiled with tasty treats at our fortnightly work meetings.  Tantalising Toasties, Delicious Desserts and a whole lot more of daily greatness. Perfect for on the go, or catering for a small gathering.  Thank God you've Arrived!
This is a hidden gem. By far the best coffee in Brisbane and the wonderful staff are a very special bonus. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
The Gift Shop is a nice local coffee shop with very friendly staff and lots of parking close by. I recommend it for your daily coffee fix!!!
It's so refreshing to find a place in the 4122 area that serves a decent coffee. Loved how easy it is to pull in and stop quickly. My new go to.
Just found this spot and love it! Super tasty coffee and easy to pull in if you're in a rush. Loved the friendly staff. They also have a nice little selection of drink options for the kids. Will be back!
Bringing a little bit of specialty coffee to the inner outer suburbs. The coffee shop has recently undergone an owner change and has made some serious changes for the better. The newly rebranded site has been given it a face lift and a general lift across the board. They're now supplied by Melbourne's Rosso roasting. A beautiful mid-dark roast blend called Abbot Kinney is used for all white coffee and weekly rotational single origins for all black coffee. If coffee isn't your thing they have a tasty honey masala chai and a range of fresh loose leaf teas. This super accessible spot is a must for good fast quality coffee in the south-east.*double thumbs up*
I added this little cafe to Zomato as the coffee was brilliant. Barista was passionate about his brew & my resulting cup was everything I was expecting. The notes & tones & strength all spot on. Used to visit this shop before they changed ownership, it was good then, but now it's gone to another realm
